No ER needed now: As long as she is urinating, there is no blood in her stool, and she is not persistently vomiting, she does not need to be seen in the ER. Try to give her bland foods, stay away from dairy, and monitor for those symptoms. It may take some time (sometimes even up to a few weeks) for the diarrhea/loose stools to improve. If she develops any of the symptoms I just mentioned, please call her doctor.
