What Causes Passing Of Dark And Odorless Stools?
My two year old has been having frequent episodes of very dark and completely odorless stools. This is very unusual for him as I can usually smell immediately that he needs a change. Gross as it sounds, I ve gotten close enough to the diaper to see if there is any oder and there is absolutely none. I feel silly calling our Ped. Thanks!

Hi, this can occur in stomach infection. Do a stool routine microscopy test. Based on that antibiotics needs to be given.
