What Does White Sand In Stools Of A Child Indicate?
My 2 year old step son came to us yesterday from his mother s house, he had a bowel movement today and I was alarmed to see what looked like white sand in his feces, it was very gritty and hard to wipe off, what could this be from? I am very concerned.

hello. i just read through your question.
The most likely explanation for this in a 2 year old is he swallowed white sand. As long as he is otherwise ok, there is nothing to be concerned about.
