What's going on with the foam?

Foamy stools may be caused by food intolerance, indigestion, intestinal infection, etc. Details are as follows:

1. Food intolerance

If the patient is allergic or intolerant to certain foods, such as lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, etc., it may cause intestinal mucosa to be stimulated and secrete a large amount of liquid, resulting in foamy stools.

2. Indigestion

When indigestion occurs, carbohydrates in the food are decomposed by bacteria in the intestine, producing gases such as carbon dioxide and ammonia, resulting in a large amount of foam in stools.

3. Intestinal infection When the intestine

is infected by bacteria, viruses, etc., intestinal mucosa is damaged, exudate increases, and intestinal motility accelerates, resulting in foam in stools.
