My 9 month old baby is really sick with a cold, and Just had bad diarrhea , but the only thing is it had Black chunks that looked very simular to coffee beans, it was also the worst smelling diaper I have had yet, What could it be?? Could it be blood in his stool?? Also he has been in pain, any suggestions??
