Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
5 Year Old, White Stool, Stomach Pain, Heart Beating Faster. Are Pain And Bowel Movement Connected?
MY 5 year old has just been to the toilet and her pooh is white. It is normally dark brown and so this is not normal for her. She has been complaining of stomach pains for months now and when last took her to docs he said it was reflux. Could these pains and pooh be connected and is it something to worry about? Sorry, just to ad, I have an appt booked for her for next week at docs already as she has also been complaining that her heart keeps beating too fast and it feels funny.
Don't miss out on your appointment and if the symptoms continue to get worse get her examined by a physician right away, hopefully the white stools could be just a side effect from any medication taken, but the most common cause is the lack of the bile pigment which is secreted by the gall bladder, if this pigment isn't getting released to the digestive tract which gives stool their characteristic color, it could indicate a problem either with the gall bladder, the liver, or an obstruction of their conducts, that can also be the cause of the stomach pains, if you have any more questions by all means feel free to ask
Best Regards
