constant diarrhea...

15month old DS has had constant diarrhea for about 4 weeks now and i'm getting really worried there is something wrong.

He has no other symptoms of illness.. his still has a strong appetite, no temperature, full of energy, happy and chirpy little chappy as usual.

I don;t understand why he has constant explosions of diarrhea.

Am i missing something....???

I've been on the watch for teeth coming through, but nothing as yet.

I'd get him to the GP to get assessed. He could be allergic to something. Or speak to you HV - but personally I'd see your GP. really if he has had it for longer than a few days he should have been seen then, so I'd try to get an immediate appointment.

I would see your doc but try not to panick. Dylan had this a while ago and it just passed. If he's having plenty of wet nappies and is full of energy it doesn't sound like he's dehydrated which would be the main concern. I would say best to get him checked out to put your mind at rest though. If you can't make it to the docs at the mo maybe give nhs direct a call and see if they can help in the meantime

thanks folks. I have an appointment with the GP for next week.

I kept a food diary as i too thought it might be something i have given him, but i can honestly say i have not given him anything that he didn't have before.....

I guess i'll wait and see what the doctors says.
