My son went to the bathroom last night and when I went to flush it I looked at it and it was mostly brown but the last like 2 inches of a terd was white. Does anyone know what this can be caused from. I thought that it might be because he ate a large chunk of cheese. What do you think?

Bile mixing with food makes it brown. If poop isn't brown and is actually white, that means there could be a problem w/ the liver. If it persists, take him to the doctor.

White stools are usually caused by a lack of bile in the stomach which could be related to the liver causing a block bile duct. He really needs to see the doctor for testing, especially if it persists.

Does he chew gum? And if so, lots of it at a time? And does he tend to swallow it?
Answer affirmative to all and you have your answer.

Barium can cause it also.
