white stool

[jodilov9]

Hi, my 4 yr. old niece has gone from olive green stool, gray and now to a white stool. She has also started peeing the bed at night. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?

Whilst we do not wish to worry you, I would suggest that you take this young Girl to the doctor ASAP. Whilst it could be because she is back-up with poo, going by the fact that her poos where green then grey, and now white, it would suggest that there is some kind of bile duct blockage.

Also, it could be a Liver infections, such as hepatitis, which can be easily treated by your GP.

I wish you guys all the best with this little girl, and wish her steady health.

Jodilove, bile is the 'colorant' that makes a stool brown colored. If the bile isn't released bile properly, the stool will go grayish and then white. This can be a serious situation in some cases, so please get her to a doctor and have the situation checked out.

I had a friend's sister get that when we were in high school and I believe her mom said she had either Hep A or B...

oh boy that sounds like she is really really backed up and should get an enema....the white, grey stool is very very old poop. i had to give my son an enema when he was about18 months old and let me tell you  the amount of poop that came out was unbelievable and thats the color,grey....she is peeing in her sleep cause she is backed up!!!!!! i bet she is sleeping crazy as well..thats anohter sighn of being backed up,at least in my sons case.he is now 3 1/2 and i still dela with this stuff...read my post about my son..have noticed her belly being hard?.does she go regulary?does she complain,does she hold it? she must be holding it in ,thats how she gets backed up...call her ped. tell her whats going on and she will probably want to see her and probably recommend an enema..Good luck...keep me posted..
