    Weird poo in 15 month old

    Sorry for the grossness of this post LOL

    The last few days, I can't really remember how many, DS has been doing really pale yellow poos. Like, they're almost white. He did have a bit of a spewing incident on Wednesday morning, didn't want to eat much for the rest of the day, but has been fine since then. Would the weird coloured poo be as a result of that, or is it something else? Or nothing at all, just one of those toddler things LOL. I can't remember if it started before or after he was sick, but I think it was before.

    TIA

    Has he been eating anything different than normal, but the same for a few days (kwim??). Sometimes cows milk can cause pale poos, is he having cows milk now?

    He's been having cows milk for months now, and hasn't been having anymore this week. In fact, he's had a bit less than normal.

    Glad that he's feeling better Has he had lots of potato by any chance? When Oskar pigs out on mashed potato it dramatically changes the colour of his poo to very pale looking.

    I'm guessing it's part of the tummy bug he had. My DS#1 used to do weird pale poos for a few days when he was sick.

    I suppose if they're still weird after a few more days, it's probably worth taking him to a GP just for peace of mind.

    I'm glad he's feeling better

    DS had really really pale poos a couple of months ago too, after a really bad bout of gastro. It lasted nearly a week, then changed back to normal poo colour
