Hi!
welcome to HCM!
The vegetable cells and starch are just remnants of what you would have used and it is ok.Presence of starch in stool otherwise suggests malabsorption syndrome (MAS).
The fact that there is no blood and stool is of normal cosistency is also good. it the kid is of normal height and weight and active. and feeding well, do not worry about the report.
