A member asked:
My daughter, aged 2y 9 m, has a very loose stool after eating for 2 days now. should i be concerned or just increase fluids until it passes?

The basics: If she will take in enough fluids to pee every 6-8 hrs she will remain hydrated. These are often simple gut viruses that will self heal or reactions to a food. Applesauce,rice and fresh bananas can help firm the stools. I expect these at least 2X/yr in kids this age.
