Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic. As your son had gastroenteritis, it takes time for his intestines to recover and probably he was on wholly on milk based diet, that's why his stools are white and pasty. they may have residual gastritis for a few days so try to feed him regularily every three hrs and you can give them anti gastritis medications for few days after consulting your doctor.
Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care.
