The stool report seems normal except for the presence of reducing substances which means malabsorption of substances like lactose. Changing over to lactose free milk should be fine.
A few macrophages can normally be present in the stool. I would not worry if the pus cell count is not significant. Macrophages are scavenger cells of the body and help in cleaning up infective agents if they are present.
