What Causes Small Brown Stool In A Child?
Hi, My 2 years old son always had small brownish poop quantities. After I introduced in his diet more fibres he started to poop 3-4 times daily. Last week he vomited 3 times during a night and since then his appetite decreased. He had one day very loose poop, diarrhea, and since then his poo is yellow and sandy. He is off of diary for about 1 year and has nuts allergy. Could you please advise me about my son problem? Thanks

Well, he may have had a gut infection leading to vomiting and diarrhoea. Do give him plenty of water. Avoid milk and wheat products for a couple of weeks. You can also supplement him with a 5 day course of pro-biotics available at any drug store. If the problem persists beyond a week or aggrevates, please do consult a Paediatrician.
