A member asked:

My 1yr son has been passing watery stool for a week now. gp recommended pectin suspension, but the stool has not changed even after using it for 3 days (teaspoon 3 times a day). he does eat but not fully. i am really worried. he still breastfeeds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Feed bananas: This is likely just a self healing gut virus that will pass without meds. I find fresh bananas and apple sauce will often firm up poop in kids this age. Avoid any juices that tend to loosen poop when the have watery stools.
