funny coloured stool in 19 month old - tmi!!!

[mum2jakeyroo]

ds2 had a funny coloured nappy yesterday - sort of burnt orange/red. Thought it was just something he had eaten. Anyway just done his bum again and same coloured stool. Anything to be alarmed at or not do you think?????

What has he eaten?

Nothing out of the ordinary. Beef Roast dinner on sunday, cheese and cucumber for tea. Yesterday ham sandwiches, chicken, mash and veg for tea. Usual cereals, yoghurts, fruit, biscuits etc for pudding and snacks.

Unless its a bug?? Not sure. We have all had a v and d bug over last couple of weeks but nothing like this and he has already had that

Did he have carrots or mashed carrots and suede with his roast dinner? Any different juices? I remember practically having a heart attack over my dd's black/green poos till i realised it was the vimto

he did have carrots and suede but he normally has that. No differnt juices????

AAAgghh

It doesn't sound like anything bad tbh. YOu would know if he was unwell. If it was bloody you would be able to identify it. See how it is tommorrow. He hasn't eaten any playdough, or plasticene?

I wouldnt worry unduly. I would only be worried if it were blackish red, obviously bloody - as could both mean an infection. Bright yellow not great, but i mean YELLOW as that can indicate a level of jaundice, but i think he would have to be a lovely glowing yellow too If you are overly concerned ring your surgery and take in a sample. Ive done this before (paranoid mummy).

How are you anyways?

thanks all. i rang the surgery and took him and a sample down. dr said could be a bug or eaten crayons etc.

hi lem. getting thru each day is getting harder. i really don't think me and dp are going to last much longer. but hey ho. how are you. things any better. x

Leaflets that fall out the paper are good at creating bizarro poops round here. I found a loan leaflet half eaten in the bin (when she had chance to scoff it I've no idea).

I wouldn't worry too much - blood comes out black or like coffee grounds unless it's from an anal tear in which case it looks like blood.

ive just posted on your other thread, talk to me
