What causes frequent bowel movements which is stringy?
Patient: My 3 week old baby wasnt pooping for a day my dr had said to give her prune juice because she always strains like she has to poop, that was yesterday morning and she has been pooping since. However ive noticed it getting more yellowish and this morning it was like stringy. is that normal? Doctor: Hello,It could be an indigestion and will settle by itself.  No  definite treatment is required. If she is developing fever or consult a pediatrician and get evaluated. In that case conditions like gastroenteritis has to be considered.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
