My 2 yr old had a strange bm today. it was like sand or sawdust, was dry and flaky, and was difficult to wipe clean. what's going on?

Less fluid: The child may be drinking less and this is how the bm came out. I would watch and see if it is recurrent bu t increase the fluid at this time. Best wishes
