What Causes Pale Stool While Suffering From Stomach Flu?
Hello.this past week my two children and myself have all had the stomach flu, and now I have it a second time. My concern is that we are all having pale stools, including my son that is feeling better. What could be the cause of this? Is it normal with the stomach flu?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the time cause of the stomach symptoms are due to infection and allergic condition as long as the infection is concern it could be virus and for allergic condition it could be food allergy, in either these condition may not needs any specific treatment, because it could be self limiting one but of course it takes some time to come around, but of course in case of bacterial infection it requires the antibiotic accordingly hope this information helps.
