Brief Answer:
Drink cleaner water
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
There can be many reasons for foam in stools.
Do you have any other symptoms like fever, etc? How often do you pass motions?
But I usually recommend the following to my patients:
- Get tested for typhoid by doing a widal test or typhidot
- Try changing your milk source as your milk may be adulterated or its not getting digested well.
- Drink cleaner water with TDS less than 20 ppm
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
