Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My baby is 23 months old, since 2 days her stools are in black color. I started Pediasure chocolate flavor, since 5 days. I have been mixing it in water instead of milk as were travelling. Could you pls tell me what could be the reason of her stools being in black.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the consistency and the color of stool is entirely depends upon the diet given to baby and as you have stated about the diet it could be due to the chocolate and it is nothing to worry it is not the illness or anything wrong with bay hope this information helps.
