What Causes Tan Stools In 16 Months Old?

My 16 month old has tan stools, and he is not a very good eater, but he has increased his intake in the past 3 weeks, and his stool color still has not changed. He drinks about 16oz of milk. Can this color be just the milk, or could it be a gallbladder or iron defiency problem?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM. Can understand your concerns. Tan color of stools is most often a normal thing in children. However, you should do stool routine microscopy test to rule out any abnormalities. Take care.
