6yo pale yellow poo after stomach bug

Hi,
We all had a sickness and diarrhoea bug over the last week and my youngest still isn't eating very much, still feels queasy when he tries to eat. No pain or actually being sick any more. TMI... This morning he had weird pale yellow diarrhoea that was floaty and oily on the top of the loo, this evening he has done a normal solid poo but again it's pale yellow.
I spoke to the GP this morning as although he's improving, he's still feeling queasy and really tired still. GP could not have sounded less interested and said to cut out dairy.
Anyone else seen this happen after a stomach bug?

It can be totally normal after a stomach bug. See what it's like when they're feeling better.

It's normal. Try some probiotics.
