No: It actually has the potential to make it worse. See your pediatrician and do not attempt to treat it yourself.

My 2 year old grandson has congenital adrenal hyperlasia and has very green stools pretty consistently but seems fine otherwise. Should I be concerned? He takes a salt mixture and cortef (hydrocortisone).
