Question: Our son, in China, is passing smooth lentil, or chick-pea-like, yellowish balls in his stool, w/ a little bluish discoloration at the end, x ~ 1 month. There are a number of them in each bowel movement--like polka dots throughout the stool. They are firm when removed. He popped one and it was kind of hollow w/ some bluish brown pigment in it.
