About once every two weeks, my son has multiple, small, and sometimes runny stools. We have just been living with it thinking that it was normal. However, we've had another child and now know what normal bowel movements are like.
I have decided to try and figure out what is going on. I think he might have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I'm going to take him to the doctor to find out, but wanted to get some opinions beforehand.

I can understand your concern.
We have been dealing with bowel problems with my daughter since she was a couple weeks old. It was constipation up until about 16 months. Then it was just occasional. Now she has unusually soft stools. She has a well balanced healthy diet for the most part. She doesn't seem distressed about it so we just take it as it is.
My son started to have those type of stools right after he had milk products...we would give him 1/2 a tab of lactaid, I think it was called, but have to give with first bite of food, anyways, worked great. However, when reading up on, said toddlers usually do not have this. Anyways, we did this for a few months for sure, so I'm not sure if her outgrew the problem or if it was due to my starting to give him my own homemade yogurt. I was so pleased with the results of the yogurt, as he still had to use the restroom, right after eating, but his stools were much much more formed and normal, not hard.
How do you deal with a potty mouth?!
