Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting up your query at HealthCareMagic. The stool report is otherwise normal except for some amount of undigested food material in the stool. It needs to be clinically correlated to malabsorption if symptoms are there. The stool pH is normally alkaline. Neutral indicates that some amount of acids have been present in order to neutralise it. It could be due to bacterial degeneration of undigested carbohydrate matter. Had I known the symptoms for which the stool test had been done, I would have been able to comment better. Mucus threads are not a cause of concern.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
