Patient's question:
The baby has been having diarrhea especially since they turned 8 months old. Now they are almost one year old. This month, they've had diarrhea twice. Usually, it lasts for about half a month, and then it comes back again. What could be the reason? For example, when they don't have diarrhea, the poop is black and gray. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby is currently around one year old and has experienced this phenomenon twice within a month. This is within the normal range. If the stool is black or gray, it is first necessary to rule out dietary factors, such as the consumption of foods containing pigments. If you feel it is abnormal, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine stool examination and occult blood test.
