Patient's question:
Expert:My child has poor digestion, with slightly white and loose stools. The doctor prescribed Lactobacillus, Shanjieli (transliteration), and Zhengchangsheng. After taking them, the stools are no longer loose, but they are very dark. Is this normal?
Doctor's answer:
, black stool, may indicate chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, you should get a stool routine occult blood test to check if there is blood in your stool. If the stool routine occult blood test is positive, it may suggest chronic gastrointestinal bleeding. The most common cause of this is gastrointestinal ulcers, including gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. If you have such conditions, you can take medications to reduce stomach acid and protect the gastric mucosa, such as omeprazole and sucralfate, etc.
