Dealing with diarrhea? (Some tmi)
Seamus has had the stomache virus since Thursday. He threw up 3 times that day and hasnt since. He has had diarrhea sine then though and it hasnt stopped. On Saturday all I gave him was Pedialyte all day because he was just basically pooping water (i know tmi lol)
It got a little better last night and a friend told me to give Milk and lactose free formula. I started that today. Plus I gave him a little oatmeal and some bananas. No veggies and no meat. I dont want to chance it!
He has pooped less today. Yesterday he had about 6 dirty diapers, today only 3. His poop doesnt seem to be getting better though. Its still very soft and watery. He hasnt leaked out of any diapers for 2 days so that is good
Is there anything else I can do? he goes to my parents tomorrow but he needs to go to daycare Tuesday. He has been sick alot in the last 2 months and I have had to leave work ALOT. They are pretty good about it but I dont want to cause any problems at work. DH worked in Manhattan so he cant leave work to get him. I dont want to get any other kids sick of course, but I dont think he is sick other than the diarrhea. He is laughing, playing,, etc. I just want to see if I can get his poop back to normal!! lol

Honestly you are doing all you can. Diarrhea can last quite a few days. I would keep up with plenty of bananas to bind him up more. Good Luck!

What about some rice cereal? Rice is very binding.

Re: Dealing with diarrhea? (Some tmi)
definitely call your ped....
as for curing diarrhea, I think if it's an infection, it has to clear-up... no foods can improve it KWIM? Just avoid foods that would irritate the situation (ex. high fiber foods, heavy foods)
