What Could Grey/silver Colour Stools With Mild Constipation Suggest?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My 9 months old son this morning had a dark silver, aluminum kinda paint like stool but only on the surface, the inside was a regular stool color. This is a second time that happens, first time about a week ago. He is perfectly fine, eats everything, doesn't complain. He usually has bowel movement almost every day but he's a little constipated. Why did the stool come out silver? Thanks

Hi,

Silver color of stool is something unique. Color variation from green to mild black is ok. You should go for a stool test done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ramesh Kumar, Gastroenterologist
