Hi,
DS is almost three, he's never done a solid poo in his life, we often get partly digested fruit and veg etc in his nappies.
Repeated trips to see GP have got me a referal to the Children's hospital where I was met with "don't worry, it's just toddler diarrhoea, he'll grow out of it but have some imodium syrup" (Which I binned almost immediately). The Gastroenterologist at the hospital did test for Coeliacs's disease and that came back negative
We've been waiting and hoping he'll grow out of it but I started to lose patience and I've got an appointment for him to see a homoeopath in a couple of weeks.
The situation is now getting worse rather than better. The poo is exactly the same as it's always been (huge and sludgy ) but it's now actually burning his bum. He had poo in his nappy for twenty minutes this afternoon and his bum was red and very sore when I took the nappy off. He's off to bed walking like a cowboy, and I feel like I'm letting him suffer like this, how patient do I need to be, surely something can be done? (I expected a referal to a dietician at least). I think he has a very good diet, all homemade meals and I'm doing all the tricks like brown bread as a blotting agent, no apple juice etc and he doesn't get "rubbish" Any advice pleeaasse?
