What Causes Decreased Appetite And Pale Yellow Bowel Movement?
My daughter is 14 months old and over the past few days has had a decreased appetite. Today, her BM was a pale yellow, almost a putty color, and was dry and almost powdery. She has produced what I would equate to one of those types of BM's. Should I be concerned about her liver or digestive blockages? One of her favorite things to eat is saltine crackers.

HI
Welcome to HCM
Well I don't think there is any problem with your daughter . Lack of appetite is very common at her age . And her bowel color and consistency is due to lack of water and fibre .
I advise her to take more fruits and vegetables and drink more water .
Also she can Take Syrup Zincovit 10ml 2 times a day before food for 2 weeks . It will improve her appetite . ( Make sure she is not eating outside food )
