What Causes Gray Bowel Movement?
My grandson, age 5 weeks, has had gray bowel movements since yesterday. When he was one week old he was admitted to the hospital for three days for jaundice. After he drinks his bottle he is very very fussy and has a lot of gas. Now the gray stool? What could this be?
