A member asked:
Our 5 month old baby passed stool that is a large ball of yellow jelly - very jelly like. what could be the cause and what action should we take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Jelly Stool: The stools of infants vary greatly in color and texture ranging from loose mustard yellow to hard dark brown. However, a jelly secretion implies a blockage of stool from passing and is of concern. If your baby is comfortable and without other problems, call your doctor for further advice and care. If your baby has any other symptom ( crying, fussy, bloated, etc) seek immediate help, go to ER.
