A member asked:
My son is 4 years old and he has irregular bowels where one week he will be constipated and the next week diarrhea? ? any ideas to help my little guy

Giardiasis: Are his stools extremely foul-smelling? He may have acquired giardia lamblia. But the best solution, rather than my guessing, would be to see his pediatrician and get this worked out definitively. Good luck and hope he is better soon.
