Grainy Poops. Allergy?

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?

  • Has he been eating a lot of Cheerios or other grain foods?  I have found that on the days that DS eats Cheerios or a lot of Teddy Grahms he has grainy poops.

  • He has whole grain toast every morning.  Maybe thats the culprit?

  • That happens to Everett a lot. I think its normal and just depends on what he eats.

    What she said. I see this a lot, and it's definitely Cheerios.
