What Could Liquid Filled Capsules In Stool Of An Infant Indicate?

Hi. My 18 month old son has little liquid filled capsules in his stool. They are different colors and have a clear kind of sticky substance to then. There are around 15-20 in just one bowl movement. I m wondering what this is? I m having this stool sample tested this week. I m very worried since my son has had issues in the past with his bowls. Rebecca
