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.
