A child has yellow foam.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Adjusting the diet structure appropriately can restore normal health. For infants who have not yet been introduced to solid foods, yellow frothy stools indicate an excess of sugar in the milk, so the sugar content should be reduced and the milk intake increased. For babies who have already started on solid foods, brown frothy stools are caused by an excess of starchy foods in the diet, such as rice porridge or infant rice cakes. This is due to the inability to digest sugars in the food. Reducing or stopping these foods will help.
