Four year old has had stomach cramps and diarrhea for six weeks. stool sample was checked and normal. why is it lasting so long?

Stool sample: Cannot say what is wrong with your 4 yr old because need more info. What tests were run on the stool? Sounds like they might have giardiasis, but without more history, and knowledge about what tests were run, very difficult to predict. Go back to pediatrician and get more info. This is not normal.

Hard to say: Chronic diarrhea is a difficult issue. It is seldom easy to sort out. With normal stool sample, my next studies would look at gluten intolerance & food allergies among other things. I would look into seeing a pediatric gastroenterologist. Your primary doc could do some preliminary studies but this will likely need their help.
