What Causes Foam In Stools?
Hi,
My 7 year old son had foam in his stools. actually he only had a few drops of stool but more foam. This is not the first time i see this in his stool. He has also been complaining of being cold. What can this mean? I am getting worried. Thanks for the help!

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection. It can also be due to the celiac disease.
I suggest you to go for:
- A stool test
- A complete blood count to rule out the cause
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
