Any : Any child with weight loss and bloody stools needs to have a thorough work-up to rule out illnesses such as infections, allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, tumor or vascular malformation. These symptoms are concerning for any child - even one with healthy kidneys. You should call your child's doctor if the current treatments are not working and discuss other possibilities and treatments. Your doctor may need to do additional testing or may need to send your child to a gastroenterologist for further work-up.

See MD ASAP: Blood in the stool is not a good sign, especially in a toddler. Weight loss as well. You must bring him in for examination as soon as possible. These are signs that cannot be ignored. Good luck!
