Acidic baby poop may be caused by lactose intolerance, acute gastroenteritis, gastrointestinal tract dysfunction and other factors.
1. Lactose intolerance: For babies a few months after birth, lactose intolerance occurs due to a decrease in the expression of the lactase gene in the body, which prevents the body from breaking down the lactose in breast milk completely, resulting in the symptom of acidic stools.
2. Acute gastroenteritis: If the baby is infected by viruses such as rotavirus and norovirus, it will lead to inflammation of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, thus weakening the digestive function and causing a large amount of fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract, which will lead to acidic stools.
3. Gastrointestinal tract dysfunction: because the baby’s gastrointestinal tract function is not yet fully developed, if usually feeding improperly, will make the gastrointestinal dysfunction, so that the food in the gastrointestinal tract, triggered by acidic poop situation.
There may be other reasons for the acidity of the baby’s stool, so we recommend that you go to the hospital in time for a complete examination to determine the cause of the problem, and then give targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
