My poor little girl is nearly 2 and a half and she has had loose BM's for a few days now. She has a tiny bit of a cold (probably from all the traveling we have been doing lately) but is totally happy and not bothered, but i am starting to get worried because it has been going on for too long now. Any help would be great!
THANKS MOMS!!
YOU ALL ROCK!!!
:)

What can I do next?

Hi S.,

Your daughter could have a viral infection. Have you been keeping her hydrated? Be sure to give her plenty to drink since she is having loose stools. You might want to give her some electrolyte drinks (for kids) and we've even had my son drink 7up or Sprite (it just works!).

And put her on the BRAT diet for now: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. Hope she starts feeling well soon!

Hi S.,
I think we have a lot in common. But as far as your 2.5 goes, give her some bananas for the next few days and keep an eye on her temp. She may just be having a couple molars breaking thru (diareah and fever are of course symptoms of teething). Plus something is 'going around' and we had it make the rounds in my house recently. Good luck, I hope she's all well soon.

Hi S. - I'm a busy mom with three boys (4,6,9) and also have a home based business that I love. What home based business are you doing? A couple years ago I started to become more educated about good nutrition and was able to get my family on a healthier path. I credit a lot of that to Juice Plus. Have you heard of it? It's a convenient way to ensure optimal nutrition for your family, which will not only support regular, healthy "movements" for your daughter, but also lower risk of illnesses. As we all know, a regular diet of plenty of whole fruits and vegetables helps the body produce healthy DNA and helps the immune system work properly. Problem is that it's hard to get kids (even adults) to eat at least 5-9 raw servings of fruits and vegetables each and every day. I highly recommmend Juice Plus as an insurance plan to make sure you and your kids are getting the best nutrition. It's not a vitamin - or an isolated nutrient - but the real thing that provides thousands of nutrients in combination to help our bodies work properly. 17 of the most powerful fruits and vegetables are juiced, all the sugar, salt, herbicides and pesticides removed, dehydrated and ground to capsule/chewable/and gummy forms. Please feel free to read more about the tremendous research behind Juice Plus. Also don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. http://www.juiceplus.com/+cc42230.

I know it's a little gross to consider, but my son had to be tested for parasites last year after coming back from vacation. He too had been very loose stooled about a week after we got home. We had been camping from Orange County to North Washington and back. The doc said that parasites are fairly common "camp-site hazards" due to the non-ideal cooking and cleaning options.

My son tested negative, so the Doc said it was likely a virus, but if it continues, you may want to talk to her Ped. He also suggested that his digestive system may have been "resetting" to our water filtration.

Hope she's feeling better soon! ~J.
