Diarrhoea that's white in colour

[hennipenni]

in a child. Does anybody know the possible causes?

Has child eaten chalk?

not to my knowledge, joking aside I really could do with an answer

how old is your child?

the dds are very pale of stool during their yogurt eating phases

Not my child, I'm a minder and it is one of my mindees, Drs are saying it could be something quite nasty in which case I face the fact that I could be closed down whist investigations are carried out. none of my other mindees, nor myself or my family have had the same. Just clutching at straws really

DS(20mths) had this for about 5 days 2 weeks ago when ill - Dr said it was a malabsorption (sp) issue but not to worry. May be worth visiting your Gp just to be sure though.
