What Does Brown Color Flaky Stool Mean?

my 2 year old just had a mustard brown colored stool. It literally looked like a million tiny little sesame seeds and easily broke apart with a flaky texture. The sesame seed appearance had sharp edges. What am I looking at? I have to wait to take him to the doctor in the morning.

Hello. I just read through your question.
As long as he is otherwise well, ie: no fever,vomiting,blood in the stool, etc..., there is not much to be concerned about. he most likely ate or ingested something that digested that way. It is worth a visit to the doctor for reassurance purposes, but until the visit, I am not worried.
