InactiveAidan has had diarrhea for the last week or so. No vomiting, no fever, nothing else really but diarrhea. Bad, smelly, diarrhea….to the point where it is leaking out of the diaper, down his legs and up his back to his neck while lying down……IVe actually had to CUT clothes off of him to help in the clean up…..its THAT bad…..
I took him to the pediatrician yesterday who told me he checked OK. Ears, throat, etc, etc……all fine. He then proceeded to tell me the diarrhea is transient, that it will come and eventually go away but the thing I am worried about is that its been almost a week and hasnt!!!!!!! He isnt dehydrated and he is still taking in solids and formula.
Has anyone ever had an issue like this where it was just diarrhea? No seen or obvious cause…..
Could it be issues with the medicine? A result of the reflux? Bowel problems?
I am clueless and at my wit’s end with this….Ive seen enough diarrhea in the last week to last a LIFETIME!!!!!!

InactiveNutramigan can cause very loose watery stools and the Multigrain cereal probably has stuff that moves things along quicker as well. Can you try more binding foods like bananas, or rice cereal instead of the multigrain?
I might try changing his diet.
Oh, is he fussy, in pain, cramping, etc… or just the diarrhea?

InactiveHes been on Nutramigen forever and if anything Nutramigen has always make him have firmer stools. The doc doesnt think its his diet. He has had nothing new at all. The solids he is on hes been on for awhile (at least over six weeks) with nothing new introduced.
Hes always been gassy, with smelly gas even when he was having bowel movements with no pains or crampng or fussiness….if anything he has been happier than usual.
This is whats baffling the hell outta me!!

InactiveWe went through this SAME thing a few weeks before Christmas. She had NO other symptoms other than crazy nasty diarrhea. She didn’t have a fever, ear ache…NOTHING! She even acted totally fine and happy! Hers lasted about 9 days. We went to the doctor and she said there was nothing she could really do for her…just to keep her hydrated. (which was a struggle towards the end)
Hang in there and I hope it’s just the same virus and he’ll be better soon.

InactiveMyles had rotavirus with serious diarrhea for six days and less severe diarrhea for a few more days. The ER doc told me to add some bulk to his diet to help firm things up. Rice cereal and bananas helped.
