Any idea what would cause yellow diarrhea in a kid?

Question

My 7 year old son is having yellow diarrhea...slightly lighter than an egg yolk. He hasn't eaten or drank anything of that color. He threw-up once this morning. He has also been complaining about his stomach hurting for about 2 days but the diarrhea just started this morning. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Yellow is a normal color for diarrhea, but if he doesn't improve today, take him to the doctor.

Answer 2

You can also try tthe BRAT diet. Bananas, Rice, applesauce, Toast. This helps with diarrhea. Also, give him plenty of fluids. Flat gingerale I find does the trick. You don't want him to dehydrate. Sounds like it might just be a bug, keep an eye on him and if he doens't get better in the next day or two call the doc. If anything it will set your mind at ease. I know its tough when kids are sick, you went to help asap. best of luck

Answer 3

They have imodium ad for kids and that helps for the diarrhea. That sounds normal, my child had a virus and she  was ill for about a week. Just make sure you give him lots of fluids to keep him hydrated and replenish his elctrilytes. Pedialite or gatoraide work great.

Answer 4

ok give him peptobismo and if that dont work take him to the doctor
