Sorry that I am so far behind. I have a dog in which this condition not only
was a result of allergies, but a sign of infection. After antibiotic
treatment, the stools, which were also foul smelling (worse than normal)
improved to "normal". Is this true of humans, too, that a foul, mucousy,
diarrheaic stool is a symptom of infection? Perhaps this is part of the
concern?
I totally agree that stopping breastfeeding isn,t a good solution, but perhaps
the symptom indicates a problem needing to be addressed, not tolerated?
