Hello
My 7yr old has had loose stools for four days. Sorry for being graphic but its mustard fluffy soft poo, lots of it. Not exactly diarrhea. She has been going about four times and shortly after she eats. She is totally fine in herself and feels fine. She went to a big party on Sunday and said she ate "cold chicken nuggets" - yuck and other rank party food. I wondered if it was the food she ate but asked her friends mums if their children's tummies were ok and they were all fine. (She said they ate the same food). I then thought lately we have filled her water bottle up from the bathroom tap but then her sisters would also have a funny tummy. We have a combi boiler so no tank so thought it was ok to do that. I left her off school today because I thought if she is not getting nutrients from her food then she maybe weaker than normal. But she was bouncing off the walls today and acting normal except for the poo's! I am not sure whether to leave her off school, not sure there is any point in taking her to the GP, not sure what he can do there and then but I will ring him for advice. Any advice her would be appreciated. I guess she has a little bug in her gut and it needs to work its way out. But can't be good for her either?
Thanks x
