"Cure" for diarrhea: First define the problem (do you have soft or frequent stool?), circumstances under which diarrhea developed (malabsorption, pancreatic maldigestion, food intolerances, stressful times, exposure to ill individuals, food poisoning, ischemic gut, inflammatory colitis, etc.), severity (stool volume, dehydration, blood, night-time awakening, weight loss), & duration. The "cure" depends on diagnosis.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.

Donnie has had diarrhea 3-5 per day for 3 days now. Very watery. Giving banana bread, toast, or crackers doesn't stop it. Only new change in diet has been switching from whole milk to 2%. Has not been around anyone sick either. Why is my toddler ill?
