What Causes Sandy Stools?
HI my son is 18 months old and has been having sand like or like coffee ground stool, we took him to the ER but they just pushed on his belly and said he needed to go to the bathroom is all. Do you think we should take him to another doctor or listen to the ER? Thank you, Brittany .

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
COFFEE LIKE STOOL AT AGE OF 18 MONTHS IS A NORMLA PHENOMENON. YOU REALLY DONT HAVE TO WORRY. I ADVISE YOU NOT TO WORRY
HOWEVER YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED IN FOLLOWING CONDITION
1) BLACK TARRY STOOL
2) FOUL SMELLING STOOLS
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
