What Causes Grey Green Color Stool And Decrease In Appetite?

I have a 12month old girl. Over the past few days her appetite has gone down a little and her poop is grey and green. She has just started whole milk with formula mixed and straight whole milk at times. We have also started testing her with a variety of table foods. Should I be concerned. Thank you chris

Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns but don't worry. Kids are prone to self limiting viral infections in this age group. They just need symptomatic management and plenty of fluids along with healthy diet. It improves over a period of few days. I would recommend you to start her on a probiotic such as enterogermina once daily for next 5 days along with Zinc suspension ( ZnD or Zinconia) once daily for next 14 days. These will help in early recovery and further immunity against similar episodes.

Hopefully this will help you.
Take care
