Son (aged 2) has had diahorrea for over 2 weeks - Anyone.?

Started around christmas time, would find a really bad smell odour from him, a quick look and looks like a curry.

We thought it could of been linked to the amount of mince pies he was chomping on. So we left it a week to see if it cleared up, maybe a cold etc. No effect. Been to doctors, no advice apart from a stool sample, which results come back this week.

Son is happy, well apart from above, active, normal diet.

Tried different foods, fruits, orange juice, no orange juice. Giving him more banannas to help but no luck.

Anyone.?

When you say diarrhoea is is just looser than normal, or is it actually watery? Is he weeing as much as normal?

Water = Good

Always drinking from cup, glass, beaker, bottle etc.

By diahorrea, i mean a total mess of the nappy. So much so that its always around the front area.

We should know whats going on by friday this week, but we want him fixed now, today. Not in 5 days time.

My little boy (3) suffered with diahorrea a lot, our Doctor advised us to reduce the amount of dairy products we give him, we thought we were doing the right thing, lots of yoghurts, milk etc for his bones. Now he has soya milk and yoghurts and he is fine.

How many dirty nappies is he having a day?

He has loads of milk, well whatever he asks for.

Could be worth reducing his dairy intake to see if that helps,it definetely helped my DS. Its not pleasant for you or your little one for him to be having very loose nappies all the time.

I would go easy on the milk for a few days also things like fruit juice to see if it helps.
