A member asked:

My 5 1/2 year old has grey stool. he is had a fever on and off the the past few days. ha sheen complaint of a stomach ache on and off as well.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stool color is from: bile that has been altered by bacteria to change color from green to yellows and brown, but stool color can be influenced by food dyes as well. It is not unusual to have altered stool color if digestion is altered by a viral infection, which could cause a fever and mild stomachache. Black tarry stools are worrisome and need evaluation.
