Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini, Gastroenterologist and I am pleased to answer your query.
The symptoms you have mentioned are suggestive of colitis.
But looking at the picture, it appears that the stool is well formed and does not seem to be that due to colitis.
It looks pale on the exterior.
The most likely reason could be the diet she has taken.
A stool test may be done for evaluation.
I hope that answers your question.
If you have no more questions, kindly accept this answer and rate this service.
