I have a 4.5 year old. She's been having diarrhea since Monday. She will be 100% fine, then say her tummy hurts and runs to the bathroom. Sometimes she's gassy (which is the pain because when she's not, she doesn't complain of pain nearly as much). It's anywhere from runny/watery to just really soft. It's also been changing colors over the week - but never red/bloody or white.
Took her to the doctor yesterday, checked her for UTI, and all was clear. She can have a good day all day long, and then it hit her in the late afternoon. Or she can wake me (like this morning) at 5 am saying she needs to go to the bathroom.
Nothing in her diet has changed, no new pets, no traveling to pick up a bug, etc. No one else in the family has this. The doc said I need to try to the yogurt with the lactobacillus bacteria in it. She used to eat those daily (a year or so ago) because she had issues with constipation. So we will start those again today.
But does anyone have any other suggestions??? I'm at a loss as to why this is going on, out of the blue. She has no food allergies (that I know of).
