What Causes Muscle Weakness And Constipation In An Infant?

A mother found her 3-month old baby behaving very oddly. The little girl had been constipated for a few weeks. The baby also started to show signs of muscle weakness and floppiness, having trouble drinking from her sippy cup and was lethargic (decreased activity). The baby was admitted to the hospital for further observation. While the mother came home to pick up some comfort items for the child from the child’s room, she stopped by the store to get her child’s favorite yogurt and honey snack, oatmeal, and formula. She brought them to the hospital where the doctor realized what the cause of the illness was. In order to confirm, the doctor needed a stool sample from the child
