What could cause a 7-month-old to poop more than 20 times?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My daughter is 7 months old. She keeps pooping. She uses at least poops 20 diapers a day. Why?
Please guide.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
A baby of seven months passing stools around 20 times a day is not normal. Some diseases can cause this type of symptom. The possibility of celiac disease should be ruled out.
In celiac disease, there is an allergy to gluten present in wheat. Due to this allergy, the child passes stools many times. Another cause could be a cow milk allergy. In some cases, there is an allergy to lactogen present in cow milk or mother's milk. You should do stool routine microscopy and stool for reducing sugar tests, complete blood count, and tTG (tissue transglutaminase) antibody levels.
I hope that you get your answer.
Please let me know if you need any help.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
