Hello,
I have gone through the stool report you have mentioned. No need to worry about this report. This is suggestive of indigestion to ongoing formula milk. So better to change it. Try Nanopro or Lactodex.
If he is improving with a change in a formula then no need to worry. But he is not improving then detailed evaluation to the rule out MAS (Malabsoption syndrome) is needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
