[|Human|] Hi, I just started my 1 year old on Whole Milk and she is having very loose stools - often yellowish /tan. This week she also had her 1 year old shots and is teething - I don t know if that can affect or not. Most people say that once on milk stool becomes harder. Hers was always loose - she was on a milk based formula but with the Added Rice because the formula seemed to run through her so quickly. Is this normal? Or could she be intolerant to milk? How do i know?
[|AI|]  Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. What your kid is having is not a diarrhea and is only a gastronomic reflux. It is quite common for babies of this age group to pass small amount of diarrhea or loose stools soon after feeds. This need not be treated as diarrhea and especially antibiotics are not indicated. When the baby takes milk, the stomach expands - then when it is contracting it sets off a wave form which moves down the intestines and when that wave reaches the lower down rectum, a small quantity of the stool is evacuated out. This is the basis for gastronomic reflex. Do not worry. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
