PERSISTENT MUCUS IN 2 YRS BABY'S STOOL
Is persistent mucus in baby's stool normal ? His stool frequency and consistency are normal But before stool passing now he feels mild pain in abdomen . He developed milk allergy with the symptom of bloody mucus 1 year ago. Then colonoscopy detected mild erosions in entire colon. After elimination of milk based products blood has stopped but persistent mucus in stool remains . Is it normal or something more investigations needed for that kind of mucus with stool?
I need to ask few more questions before answering your query.
