What Causes Dark Brown Watery Stool In A Child?
Just curious - I have a daughter who is almost 4 on Miralax. Her stool is very liquidy like I can pour it into the toilet after she goes in her diaper - she pretty much has blowouts and cannot be in underwear. But it bothers me that it s a very dark brown, like 80-90% dark chocolate brown in color. So I m trying to figure out if that s ok or not.
