My toddler has frequent bowel movements (every time after he had food)

[Octavia09]

At the beginning of April my younger son had a mild form of gastroenteritis unlike his older brother. My older son still has problems with food: sometimes after eating food he would have stomach cramps or even go to the toilet.
But the younger one has been having problems with his bowel movements for three days already. I have to change his nappies everytime after he had food. Also he has a rash on his bottom and red spots. It does not look runny but a bit smelly (greenish) and soft. Now I have to stick to the BRAT diet again. Does it happen with kids who had gastroenteritis does it look as he is having a new virus? Can anyone suggest me something: medicine, homeopathy, food. I would be very grateful for this.

I'd be tempted to pop him to the GP with a poop sample.

Will they accept the poop? They might bin it. When my older son had gastroenteritis we brought his poop to check but the GP said there was no need to check it. Looked kind of disgusted. I knew then he would not do tests. Yet he managed to give my son ibuprofen which caused severe diarrhoea. Then later on the Internet I read that when you have gastroenteritis you should not have ibuprofen because it will cause diarrhoea.

Tomorrow morning I will try to see our GP.

Take him to the GP, April was a long time ago, a bit too long to have the trots so he should be checked. You'll need a sterile pot for the poop so insist that the GP fills in a microbiology request form.

Yakult can help apparantly.

SHould try Yakult. I think Onken also has the good bacteria.
