Child with tummy bug

[Macs1]

My almost 7 year old and 5 year old have had a tummy bug for over a week now. Very little vomiting, diarrhoea has stopped, just still getting sore tummies esp after eating. Went to doc last week and all seemed fine. Doesn’t seem to be going round anyone else tho. Is it worth getting a stool sample checked to see what it is?

What are they eating? I’d keep up with plain chicken and rice for another couple of days. That usually pulls any remaining bug out efficiently. Limit dairy I think that can feed the bug. I think 10 days+ and get a sample. It’s bloody awful, sending good wishes, we had similar twice this year .

I’m trying to keep the food plain but they’re hungry and want what they’ve missed! Thank you, that’s reassuring that you have experienced similar because it was starting to panic me somewhat. It’s horrible when they’re not themselves. One of them is usually such a big eater too!
