Very loose stool that's light brown and has white fuzzy stuff on it, may have some orange spots. persistent for almost a week. should i see a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: Symptoms suggest a viral gastroenteritis. Should resolve over the next 4-5 days. If not see a physician. Imodium (loperamide) AD OTC can help if having loose stools multiple times a day. White color and orange spots likely insignificant. See: http://bit.ly/1vxEW0V for more information
