What are Rice Water Stools ?

• The stool has a characteristic appearance:

• a nonbilious, gray, slightly cloudy fluid with flecks of mucus,

• no blood, inoffensive odor.

•It has been called "rice-water" stool because of its resemblance to the water in which rice has been washed.  These are seen in infection by vibriocholerae.
