A member asked:
His stools from mineral oil and probiotics now are very runny and painful and this evening smelled of ammonia. horrible diaper rash as well.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Runny stool: Treatment of constipation with mineral oil can result in runny stools. It is unlikely that probiotics are contributing to runny stool. Ammonia smell in stool likely due to urine mixed with stool. Diaper rash is due to contact with runny stool. Diaper rash will resolve with use of diaper cream containing zinc oxide.
