A member asked:

My 21 month old son has 3 loose stools a day his dr said to give him gatorade but is there anything else i can do for him? food to avoid etc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diarrhea?: Would need more history, but you should discuss again with the doctor seeing him and ask if they feel that exam of a stool specimen might be of value. If no further helpful comments might consider getting a second opinion. Hope the little guy is better soon. Best wishes.
