A member asked:

My daughter has a runny stomach,no pain or fever and long intervals between bowl movements,i have been giving her petrolite and anti diarrhea as well as keeping her hydrated.this has been since saturday.what could be the cause of this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stomach flu virus?: It is not normal to have diarrhea, so one can think about the usual causes of temporary diarrhea, with temporary meaning it will go away in a day or a few days. Causes may include stomach viruses, contaminated food, medication effects, any food that just didn't agree with the stomach or intestines (and caused rapid transit of the stool), etc... If symptoms are a lot, a doctor can evaluate.
