What causes sticky motions in babies?
Patient: Hi! My grandson is 10 months old and lately he s been having very sticky poo, very dificult to wipe it. What could be the cause(s) of that?? Could be some kind of allergy coming from gluten or lactose? He s eating mostly everything, without salt or sugar, and still being breast fed two to three times a day. Doctor: Thanks for posting your query. It would have really been helpful if I could put my hands on her abdomen and examine for myself but that would not be possible. It could indeed be gluten enteropathy but no need to jump to conclusions at the moment. You may try avoiding wheat based products and see if it makes a difference. Giving boiled rice based meals along with vegetables, chicken and pulses, all mashed together, should be fine. No problems in adding salt. Continue breast feeding.I hope that with the above information, you can handle things better. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
