Toddler has had very loose runny poops for a week now. Yesterday the poop firmed up but today it is runny again. Does this imply reinfection ie I need to be cleaning everywhere much more thoroughly? Thank you. Any tips welcome. She eats a lot of fruit so trying to reduce that on off chance that’s contributing

I remember my little one going through a period of having lots of diarrhea. After looking at what he was eating and a quick Google, I wasn't giving him enough fats. As soon as I started upping things like cheese, yogurts, eggs, nuts, whole milk, it resolved itself.

Thanks for the reply. This is interesting as she is allergic to cows milk so can’t have any of the full fat dairy you listed above… I will investigate what would be good options for high fat healthy foods instead (that she may actually eat!)

my partner now also has an upset stomach so likely a bug rather than just diet related…
