    The PH of faeces should be pretty close to neutral, 6.7-6.9, if they are alkaline it means bad bacteria in the gut. On the other hand if they are too acidic means that your diet probably has too much sucrose (sugar) or lactose in it. You could even be lactose intolerant. Seventy five per cent of the world is!

      Why not give up sugary food and drink for a few days and see if it makes a difference.

    I just read about this and it seems it could be anything from a lactose intolerant problem to an infection.

    Did they give you antibiotics (would lead me to believe they want to rule out infection first).
