Hey ladies. Wondering if anyone has had something similar. DS has had
really soft poops for a while now and more recently its been grainy.
Its almost like sand. Even after I clean up his poop there are little
specks that are hard to wipe off until they dry they kind of just fall
off. He doesn't have diaper rash, he doesn't seem to have painful BMs
or anything but I'm just wondering, maybe I should try a gluten or dairy
free diet? He has been really fussy at night especially when we lie
him in his crib and often sleeps curled up on his tummy so maybe he is
uncomfortable. I would hate for something like this to go untreated. I
know I need to mention it to his pediatrician and they will probably
want a stool sample, but for now I just want to know if you have heard
of any similar experiences?

My DS has had that kind of poop before. I'm pretty sure it was due to something that didn't agree with him... at the time I suspected buckwheat as he had just eaten it for the first time. I haven't seen it recently, and I haven't given him buckwheat again. I do remember another on of the MSPI mamas mentioning sandy poop, I can't remember if it was due to dairy or soy... Sorry I'm not more help, it might be worth a check in with your pedi (and yes they will probably want a stool sample, just save a diaper in a ziploc in the fridge right before your appt). GL!
