What Causes Grains Of Brown Rice In Stool Of A Child?

My 2 year old has had diarrhea for several days with no other symptoms. What has concerned me is in his stools have been what almost looks like small grains of brown rice. They are hard like rice and a little smaller than a grain of rice. Almost like a seed maybe. But he hasn t had anything with seeds. Especially not THAT many seeds. its been there in each pamper I have changed. He has been eating and drinking like normal. What could this be?
