Suggest Remedies For Small Rocks In Stools Of A Baby
My two year old came home from daycare today and acted totally normal. Happy and active. He ate a normal dinner and then had a bowel movement. When I changed his diaper, there was rocks in his stool. Between two bowel movements I counted 83 small rocks. He doesn t complain of pain and there s no blood in his stool and acts completely normal. What should I do?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Probably the baby might be eating mud (soil)
this habit is present in children having Iron deficiency anemia.
There may be worm infestation also.
Better consult pediatrician.

Take care
