Child with frequent diarrhoea

[cookieswirls]

My dd is 5 and recently has had very frequent bouts of diarrhoea. She is constantly hungry and when she eats has to go straight to the toilet. She has missed a lot of school over this and I've been putting it down to stomach bugs but now I'm starting to think there may be a different cause. I do have a doctors apt booked for tomorrow but would like to know if anyone else's dc have suffered the same

Have you kept a food diary to see if it's a dietary cause? Does she have a lot of dairy or eat a lot of wheat based foods?

No I haven't. That's a Good point actually it could be dairy

Sounds food related to me, has she had a stomach bug recently? If she has some children can get a temporary food intolerance.
I second the food diary, particularly look at gluten and lactose containing foods. Have a Coeliac ds and another ds who is lactose and wheat intolerant.

Fun in our house with meals, especially now dd has decided to trial vegetarianism

And the other one is just plain old fussy!
