<s>[INST] Is it unusual or serious if a 20 month old has had clay colored peanut butter consistency for 5 days?  He is playing his eyes are not jaundiced and his urine is a normal color.His brother has had a stomach virus with a temp, diarrhea and cramping.  Could that cause clay colored stools? [/INST] Hello, dear. If your babies stools are pale or clay-coloured, he may have a problem with the Chat Doctor.  Bile salts are released into your stools by your liver, giving the stools a brown color. It seems he has dyskinetic of bile ducts. If his brother took antibiotics it causes bile stasis in the liver. Some viruses like as herpes can cause parenchymatous reaction from liver. Hope I answered your query. Wish your babies and your family a good health </s>
