Question
Can a baby take Lactobacillus LB powder when having yellow watery stools?
Answer
If a baby’s stools are yellow and watery, it could be due to liver dysfunction. Liver dysfunction can cause enzymes from liver cells to leak into the bloodstream and a decrease in protein synthesis and glycogenolysis. It is advised to conduct a detailed liver function test and check for hepatitis B markers. If diagnosed with a digestive system issue, immediate treatment should be sought, along with gastrointestinal decompression. Also, develop good hygiene habits, pay attention to a balanced diet, and avoid irritating and cold foods.
