Suggest Treatment For Dark Green Stool While Being Lactose Intolerant
hi my daughter is reacting poorly to soy milk(isomil) after being dfiagnsed as allergic to lactose, she has been having very dark green poop for the last two days. she has been having a good appetite and she is very active. she started using isomil 4 weeks ago and the dark poop appeared only recently. we are confused if its melena or effects of the soy milk?
Soy milk does not cause dark stools. The dark stool is probably related to the presence of blood in the stool.vI suggest to do a stool test and a visit at the gastrologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
