A member asked:
5 year old son had small amount of blood in stool a week ago twice and now no blood but clay colored stool? no other symptoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO blood: No blood should be in the stool If the child is constipated then this may explain it. BUT. the child needs seen by the doctor and then problem reevaluated. If the child has ongoing clay colored stool this will need to be looked into. Take the child to the pediatrician Best wishes.
