A member asked:

Son recently had stomach bug, been not eating much since we are at a little over 72 hours and very tired and punky. had two tan/cream stools?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Changes in gut: A stomach virus, or enterovirus, can cause changes in the intestine, and certain bacteria that live there can be killed off or can overgrow, depending. That can affect how digestion occurs and chemical interaction with the stool. A good probiotic can help return things back to normal.
