My boys were sick this past week, and the doctor told me to be sure and give them plenty of Pedialyte...apparently they can have up to a liter a day. Something else must be hurting his tummy. =(

Hello,

I know with my girls get a little constipated with just plain pedisure but if i mix half milk/half pedisure they are usually fine. They have been drinking pedisure for a couple of years now, they do not like just regular milk.

It could be anything that he ate or drank while at dads. My son had medical issues so all that he drank was Pediasure (4-6 bottles a day) when he was small. He never had any issues with gas. So if he does not have a problem with milk and milk products that amount of pediasure should be fine.

It sounds like your child may be lactose intolerant and yes, you can get too many Vitamins which can cause gas!
