Pale poop. On econorm
Hello. My daughter is 6 years old. She had diarrhoea for a couple of days, stomach pain on and off and is on econorm sachet twice a day for the last 3 days. Her poops consistency is better and frequency of tummy pain has reduced also. But today I noticed her poop is pale. Is this bound to happen with infection or econorm? I have attached pics. We also recently took all tummy related blood tests like calprotectin, ultrasound, pylori ttg antibody etc and it's all normal. Her subtle said it must be IBS. please let me know if this poop color is ok and we can observe or should I worry. She's on fibogel, isabghol everyday. Thank you.

You should consult a Gastroenterologist for an opinion and further management. You have already gone far beyond the clinical acumen of a General Physician or a Paediatrician. A pragmatic approach will be to ignore all these investigations as long as the patient is showing clinical improvement. As far as the colour of stools is concerned it will be changing every day.
