Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hi All, Sorry for the graphic detail....but this is very puzzling. The twins began taking Diflucan on Monday. Yesterday, their stools (yellow, firm and formed)contained white chunks within the stool. We saw this once before in March within the first few days of beginning TouefF. What is this stuff??? I did an archieve search on a few lists and it seems that other parents have seen this too but there were no answers as to what it was. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Thanks for the info anagramm, I really appreciate the help. I figured the yellow color of their stools meant needing some aminos, we are waiting on the results of their amino acids tests. I was just wondering, since we have only seen the white stuff at the beginning of taking the TouefF and Diflucan, if it were somewhat related. Something like a clearing out of stuff hanging around, die-off, or something like that.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I've heard from a friend, who's child stool demonstrated the same white " stuff " that it actually looks stringy??? Are we talking about the same " look " ?? Is this yeast die off? Winona Re: white chunks in stools? > Hi All, > > Sorry for the graphic detail....but this is very puzzling.
