Antacids and X-Rays
Antacids that are used in treating a baby’s reflux issues can also lead to white curds in the baby’s poop. If your baby is constantly on antacids to treat heartburns or indigestion, this could result in having white curds in their poop.
During x-ray procedures, the doctor may require them to drink a white chalky substance called barium to make it easier to see and differentiate thins inside their body. After the x-ray they might have white poop due to barium discoloring the poop, this would disappear after a few days.
Can white curds in babies’ poop be considered dangerous? The natural color of poop in babies and infants ought to be brown, green, or yellow, or a mixture of these. If a parent can notice a difference that their 12-month-old baby’s poop color is white, a doctor must be consulted immediately. No home remedies should be administered as they might have resulted from a serious internal problem that can be sorted out only by a medicinal professional.
