A member asked:
My 2 year old son has white stools after a 5 day course of gastro what does this mean? should i take him to the gp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lite colored stools: Stool gets its color from bile acids made by the liver. Stool color can change with stomach infections for a short time as more or less bile acids get into the stool. If she is not back to normal in a week or two, she has blood in the stool or abdominal pains, she should be seen by her doctor.
