Been having trouble with ds's poo for 6 months or more. It is like liquid at times and very very smelly. He has had around 5 solid poos since the day he was weaned and he is 2 years old.
Went to GP who said he had a gut infection and prescribed us medicine, the medicine seemed to work a bit but when it finished, his poos went back to normal. So took him back and the GP said he had a problem with his bowels, gave us same medicine but for a longer period. Same thing happened. Took him back today and the GP said he has a cold (yeah?), we said what about this poo thing? Even his creché are telling us that something is not right, it's not normal! But GP said, "Oh, it's ok, just wait until he's 5!" then as an afterthought he has written out a prescription for Coproculture, looked that up on Net and it seems to be a bacteria. Thing is I don't want to be giving him a bacteria if it might make things worse.
How can the doc go from saying he has an infection, to a problem with his bowels, to there is no problem at all! I've no confidence in him, it's close to Christmas and I doubt we'll be able to do anything till after Christmas now. So should I give him this Coproculture? Without a proper diagnoses I'm uncertain whether to risk it or not, but dh thinks we should.
Any advice please?
