Thank you all so much!!!! I am waiting to see a GI, but for now I took him off gluten and dairy and his stool is well formed now, no diarrhea. It is greenish in color and is covered with white seeds (like rice). I am freaking out.., what could that be???

Yes, I read about cow milk allergy. And he loves dairy, actually, dairy used to be 60% of his diet (cereal with milk in the morning, yogurt for lunch, he would drink a cup of milk with dinner and some dairy snacks during the day...) he had cow milk as a baby but outgrew it.., I thought he was...
