my 2 1/2 yr old son has had 10 white chalky stool diapers since late Monday night. We took him off dairy Tuesday evening wih the exception of one 7 oz glass of milk before bed. He is a finnicky eater. Some days he eats like a grown man others next to nothing. Since we removed dairy from his diet he has only ate a few bites of oatmeal, a few small pieces of fresh pineapple, about 6 oz of applesauce and a handful of peanuts. He hasnt had anything new or an excess of any food in recent time. And no antacids etc... He isnt running a fever and its always been hard to tell if he is in pain unless its bad (a blessing and a curse), he seems normal almost. We notice a very slight change in his behavior but the common cold has a bigger effect. We called his pediatrician and are still waiting for a call back.... still. I guess my concern is more so today because he had 4 diapers like that today alone. Should we take him to be seen immediately or is there something else we can do? What should we watch out for?
White chalky stools seen without bile mixed? Is he jaundiced? It's not due to milk or milky products, and you must consult your beds now. Get his liver functions tested.
