What Causes Loose Sand Colored Stools?
Good afternoon, my 3 year old son often has sandy stools, the colour and consistency of his stools often vary but they are often as if he ate a bucket of sand. sometimes they will be looser and orangy brown and other times they will be of more normal consistency even a bit hard and very dark.

Hi
While there may not be anything serious going on, he needs a stool sample sent to the lab for cultures, blood work and a check of his liver and gall bladder with ultrasound since this could be an intestinal infection or a liver or gall bladder problem
