Strange baby poo... help!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

So I already went to the hospital and they sent a sample to the lab. The Dr. didn't know what it was and I am going nuts waiting for the results...

My baby had lots of gas and hadn't pooed in almost a day (he usually goes 2-3times a day), when he finally went there were little bits of orangey-pink in it... like chewed up carrots, except that he's only ever had breast milk. Most of them are small (like the head of a pin) but one piece was about 1/4 of an inch long and almost looked like skin. I am worried that it could be something irritating his bowels and causing tissue to tear or shed????

I can't find anything online about this.

Also in the past he has had gas and flecks of blood when I ate curry, so I stopped, but there seems to be a few flecks of blood with this orange but not much.... 

he had one day of normal poo and then today there are more orangey bits.

Anyone have a clue what it could be?

Have you or baby taken any medications?

 

Hang in there - you did the right thing to go to hospital but I know waiting can be hard!
