What do you give your toddler for diarreah?

pedealight , or Gatorade. I was even told sweet tea by the nurse.

She's already drinking TONS of gatorade for her pneumonia. Are there no medications for the diarreah??

Yogurt! The probiotics in yogurt will help replace the good bacteria that was lost due to the antibiotic. Other foods that help bind are the BRAT diet - Banana, Rice, Apple sauce and Toast (along with noodles)
Avoid sugar drinks like juice can make it worse also.

they may tell you imodium D for children, but the doc would have to give you the dose if he thinks it is ok

Liquid Imodium.

I just give her bananas, toast, and other carbs, it binds her up a little.. in a good way

I do the BRAT diet as well ... and, cheese.

If she is on antibiotics then she is losing the beneficial bacteria in her tummy. I would give her yogurt and cut up apples that you have let oxidize (brown) a while. The oxidizing naturally creates a compound that is very similar to imodium and is easier on her young tummy.

Go back to your pediatrician and ask for lactibacilus. When a person is given an antibiotic it doesn't go in and cycle the good bacteria from the bad bacteria. It just kills all of it. Which is most of the time what causes the diarrhea. When givin the lactibacilius it will help to protect the good bacteria and keep her from getting a yeast infection too another common side effect of antibiotics.

Do NOT give pedialyte or juice when they have diarrhea!! The sugar in them make diarrhea WORSE! (per our pediatrician)

Give only water and/or milk (unless milk loosens her bowels, then only water as needed)

Starch, starch, starch...breads, crackers, bananas, applesauce (not apples...apples loosen bowels), pastas, potatoes, rice, etc...anything with high starch/carb rates! If you know a food will loosen her bowels steer clear of it at all costs! lol Give the medicine WITH meals (or at least with a snack). That helps too.

Yogurt. That will also help with probiotics...no need for a prescription.

Watch for dehydration and take her in if you notice her becoming dehydrated.

For future reference....if she has to take antibiotics again, as soon as you're going to start them, start feeding starches!
