My son's green stool was from an intollerance to dairy and soy. I also believe (no evidence from doctors) it was also a problem because of the reflux medication we had him on. Oh yeah and is smelled like acid. Green poop can also be a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance because they foremilk is so thin, it just runs through them. </p> <p>I wouldn't say worried unless you have other symptoms as well. Occasional diarrhea is completely normal from what my doctor always tells me. My son never had normal breastfed yellow stool, screamed constantly, had silent reflux and plummetted from the 50th to the 0.5 percentile. All of those made me worry.</p> <p>Again, I always say if I am concerned to go to the doctor. Either 1 I am honing my mommy instinct or 2 they will tell me that it is completely normal. It is worth the co-pay for that. If you do go, take one of the diapers with you (or at least a picture). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-very-runny-poops-what-gives#post-224139 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:43:36 +0000 kokobee 224139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: is she possibly teething? i hear that could be a cause.</p> <p>@brownie: LO has had minty greenish chunky diarrhea before (sorry to be so detailed). do you know why it would be that color? should i be worried? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-very-runny-poops-what-gives#post-224127 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:30:56 +0000 brownie 224127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on how runny. I know depending on what my son eats his stools change. It can be fairly solid to almost breastfed style again. I only worry if it is green and very runny or it goes for a few days. </p> <p>Of course, if you are concerned, you can always go into the doctor. I always say the co-pay is worth the peace of mind. Usually our pediatrician tells us it is normal and we move on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-very-runny-poops-what-gives#post-224123 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:26:40 +0000 Rubies 224123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 11.5 months old and randomly yesterday and today she had 1-2 very runny poops each day. It's like the texture of breastfed poops. She's eating normally and playing normally (although slightly cranky but it doesn't seem to be out of her norm).</p> <p>Any thoughts?? Is this diarrhea? </p>
