A member asked:

Stool lactoferrin is it something to worry about in a 4 year old? she has been sick s for a week now throwing up everyday pooping nothing but water

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It's not helpful to look at lactoferrin in an acute illness. Her symptoms seem more consistent with a viral illness. If she's had diarrhea lasting longer than 2 weeks, and the concern is for chronic colitis, checking a lactoferrin might be more useful.
