Question: dicolored bowel movements


mommyO2 - Fri May 04, 2007 3:19 am

my 6 yr old daughter has had a bowel movement which was a very strange color, it a was almost a cream color, and was firm not runny. she has complained of a tummy ache before and since this movement. what could this be and what caused it?
Dr. Chan Lowe - Fri May 04, 2007 6:12 am

White or very light colored stools can be an indication of a blockage in the bile duct of the liver/gallbladder. An occasional light colored stool is OK but if this continues your daughter should be evaluated.

Best wishes.
