White Stool After Stomach Flu

I have never seen a white or really light stool before and have been around babies my entire life. I would take him in, my concern would be that there is a secondary infection somewhere and you would need to have his lungs and everything checked out by a Dr. I wouldn't just call, this seems unusual to me and topped with the fact that he was better and then suddenly worse again. Get him checked in person is better than dealing with something worse later.

You should definitely call back. I just took my son in because his stool had black in it. This ended up meaning there was blood. probably from a scratch. It went away. But, the doctor did tell me she gets more concerned if the stool is light gray and especially white. I thought it had something to do with bile, but I don't quite remember. It is probably just a phase in getting over the flu, but it definitely won't hurt to ask and be sure. If you are really concerned and other symptoms seem to be continuing, just get an appt to go in and discuss. I hope your little pumpkin is feeling better soon!

if you're worried(i would be concerned) call them as many times until as needed,or at least maybe whats going on.when my son is sick i'm always calling.

My son and my girlfriends son were both tested for parasites because this wouldn't go away even after three weeks he vomitted and then nothing else. He did have two white stools. They are back to normal now and hopefully so are they. This has been going on for two months here and there and only at night with the vomiting, during the day he is fine and happy and eating. I hope all turns out okay.

I would call back to be safe. I've always been told that white stools (could be problem with bile) and black stools (could be blood) shouldn't be ignored.

I haven't run into this with the white stool, but something I've learned from my daughters doctor. If something is bothering you call -- we have a nurses line at the office and they are wonderful. They have calmed my fears and answered some crazy questions for me.
Even if it is nothing, you'll feel better knowing that you called -- especially with the holiday around the corner.. you want to make sure your little one is ok!

Have a great holiday and let us know what they say about the stool, may be a good fact to tuck away inside the brain!
