Does Eczema Cause Greenish Stool In Kids?
Hello,
I have a seven week old baby, for the last couple of days she has been having yellowish/greenish stool with white little stringy things in her stool. I am not quite sure if this is normal. She has gotten eczema recently, so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.

Eczema does not cause greenish stools in kids and I do not find any association. Greenish stools occur due to rapid transit of faecal matter through the large intestine and is normal in babies of such an age. Probably you are giving formula feeds, at least partly, and since they are hard to digest, often white portions are present in the stool. It is normal too. No need to worry.
