This can be normal: Children can have different amounts of stooling. If the stools are not bloody, watery, mucousy, and he has no other symptoms and is growing and thriving, this could be normal for him. If it is new and he has a fever, vomiting, history of travel, it should be evaluated. You can try eliminating other foods, 1 at at time to see if any of them are causing this. I would recommend you call his doctor.
