Question
How do you treat green stool in babies?
Answer
Consider consulting an appropriate Chinese medicine practitioner. Generally, digestion and fire reduction are effective. One possibility for green stool is that the bile pigment biliverdin turns green upon contact with air (bile pigment bilirubin would turn yellow), and another possibility is that the formula milk is a fortified iron formula, and unabsorbed iron turns green upon contact with air. Give more water and vitamin C. There’s no need to worry too much. If the situation doesn’t improve, it’s still reassuring to see a doctor.
