Diarrhea: Take him offof all food. Start by giving him a spoonful of electrolyte replacement fluid every 5 minutes for 2 hours. As you see things are improving you can give hin 1/2glass at a time. After6 hours assuming things are staying down you can start him on a bland diet, nothing greasy or fried, no milk or juice . Lots of rice and bananas. Good luck.
