Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 15 month old daughter usually has solid poops. But my sitter just called and said she filled her diaper and it was green/grey colored with stringy stuff that looks like hair. It was softer then mashed potatoes and did have some hard poop in it too. She said it smelled rotten. My daughters poop tends to be on the harder side so this may be poop that she's been trying to get out. She has been eating a lot of fruits especially blueberries.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is nothing to worry because in pediatric age, stool consistency and color greatly vary from time to time and it is just due to digestive system it gets change, due to age, so need to be conscious about this. Just to clear the doubt one can go for stool examination, in absence of any other symptoms it is nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
