What Causes Pale Yellow/green Stools In A Child?
My 18 month old has pale yellow or pale green stools once in awhile. She also has problems with constipation. She drinks a lot of milk through out the day. I have put a call in to her doctor and am waiting for a return call. I googled the pale yellow stool and came up with scary answers, but also said it could be from too much milk. Could this be from too much whole milk?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I think your kid is having habitual constipation. I have certain questions and suggestions for you.
Questions:
1. Did your kid pass motion or meconium on day one of life?
2. Since how long is the kid constipated?
3. Does the kid have any bleeding along with hard stools?
4. How much milk does the kid consume per day?
5. Does the kid eat fruits and vegetables (fibre diet) appropriately?
Suggestions:
1. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation.
2. Constipation is a risk factor for UTI
3. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml. Too much of milk will cause constipation.
4. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
