What Causes Grain Like Structure In Stools And Loose Motions In Infants?

My 5 month old baby is having grain like structure in her stools this has been on from 3.5 months of age after i introduced toned milk as top feed as advised by my pediatrician. it was pale yellow bordering towards white. after a week of this she developed loose motions for which she was administered wallamycin and nutrolin B. then her stools became ok-jst the way it was whn she was exclusively breastfed. a week later she was crying a lot and having stools with grain like structure 5 days later the doc suggested colic aid and taxim-O. stools became normal. v changed the toned milk brand her stools became ok.. as soon as she was off the medicines she again started the same stools accompanied by sounds indicating loose motions. the doc asked to give formula but no improvement..

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi... please stop all the medications. Grain like stools is very very common in this age group. Please do not worry about this.

Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.
