white poop and stomach cramping Posted: 03-07-08 22:26pm
It's been a week now my daughter first had
a fever then threw up and had diarreah
after 2 days of that her poop has turned
white and she has alot of gas and cramping
that is on and off. some one have any info
on this . I looked up the white poop thing
on line and it said stuff about the liver.
I took her to the doctor last night and he
felt around on her stomach and said she
looked fine to him and if her poop is
still white after 2 more days then bring
her in for blood test. I feel he was
trying to get us out of there we were the
last to be seen. Very frustrated and
scared can't pay endless amounts of copays
just to go back again and being sent home
i should of demanded the bloodtest. but
does anyone else have this or had this?

My daughter had this white poop thing w/o
cramps or fever. I just ramdomly saw the
poop when she forgot to flush. Who knows
how long it's been. I went to the doctor
and told him about it. I told him her diet
is not the best too. He asked like it was
a common thing. She is a picky eater. No
veggies to speak of. He said the veggie
thing was most likely it but, he did blood
tests to be sure. He did a ferritin test
which was low. I guess it tests for how
your body converts the iron you eat into
use for your blood cells. He ordered a
CBC, complete blood count, and something
else. I'm still waiting on results. I'll
let you know what I find out. In the
meantime if I were you I'd either go to
the ER if she's in pain, because they will
do everything with the results right there
or make an appointment to see the doc and
ask for what kind of bloodwork he/she
would suggest.

There are really a lot of reasons why she
can have this problem. Let us know what
the results are...it will be interesting
to know and informational for others who
have this problem with their kids.

Oh I'm so glad everything turned out ok
and it wasn't too serious.
