Baby is  happy, growing, but the stools remain the same, except no
blood.....she spoke  to a Ped gastroenterologist office.  They said they did not
want to see  the baby as he is happy and gaining.>>.
A ped gastro who does not seem overly eager to do an invasive  diagnostic
procedure for a *happy growing* baby - Yeah!

I think it was Dr Jack who wrote on LN years ago that in this  type of
situation - ie: happy growing baby with *no other concerning  S&S*, been checked
out by ped also - if it's just the color of the  stool that is bothersome,
wear sunglasses.

The frank blood cleared up so the mucous issue will hopefully clear up soon
 also.

Nevertheless, if mom is concerned she needs whatever it takes,  whatever
you can do or help her with, until she feels reassured, ...ie;she  can ask a
briefly worded question via Jack  Newman's website.


Hard to assess what is really going on till you get more info from  mom,
seek clarification on what she has reported, and then see for yourself in
person.
