Diarrhoea for 7 days - help!

[PicaK]

My DC has had the runs for just over a week. In good form apart from that and eating and drinking as normal so not dehydrated. Poo sample shows no bacterial infection or rotavirus. No change in diet. DH and I have had stomach cramps but no other effects.

So what's going on?!!!
Gone down from 20 sudden loo trips a day at weekend to 6 a day now.

Has anyone else been through this? Will it end soon?

Oh no that sounds awful, your poor DC. It should end soon, especially as it seems to be getting better already. But if it doesn't get yourself back to the doctor.

Chamomile tea is very soothing on the tummy, plus there will have been an imbalance in bowel flora with the diarrhoea. Adding in some Probiotics (like Biocare probiotic straws of banana acidophilus depending on DC age) could be of great help in returning the gut to normal. You can get good ones in a health food shop. Good luck and best wishes.
