I've had it for years. Then I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I tried changing my diet to suit the diabetes - low carbs, whole wheats, leafy greens - and my IBS flared up so badly. It was bad before I started taking my metformin/glucofage but it got increasingly worse when I changed my diet for the diabetes.
Newborns are also coated with a thick, pasty, white material called vernix caseosa (made up of the fetus' shed skin cells and skin gland secretions), most of which will be washed off during the baby's first bath.
Newborn babies who are being fed primarily on colostrum, the highly concentrated early form of breast milk, will often show small red 'brick dust' powder in their wet diapers. The coloration can range from orange to pink and is very common in the first day or two.
