My 27 month old daughter has black pepper/coffee ground looking flecks in her bowel movement. Doesn t eat pepper. Causes? She s average size and weight for her age group. She has had problems with pooping sometimes. But the poop was brown and mushy. @15 months, a swallow function and an Upper GI were done and I was told it was normal. She wasn t able to eat regular food without throwing it up minutes later. We used Zantac for babies for a couple weeks, then we used Maalox for the next month and the food problems ceased. Her stomach seems to hurt quite a bit, especially when she s going to have a bowel movement in the next few hours. Her temperature also gets low, hours(maybe 6-8) before she has a bowel movement.
It's a clear case of indigestion in child Chat Doctor.  As you have seen yourself that upper GI showed normal. So the problem remains with functioning of digestive system and enzyme secret which is causing mushy stools etc. My recommendation is that non-toxic, natural herbal treatment should be given to your child.
