Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I realize that most in this group have children dealing with loose/diarrhea stools. I just feel it is important for some to consider/pay close attention to clues that when there is a blockage, that diarrhea/especially watery with strong/foul smell, when there is blockage/severe constipation, then the new stool liquifies and squeezes around the hard stool. This does make it difficult to determine treatment(is it blockage or is it true diarrhea?). We experienced this first hand and thought our gastro was NUTS " literally " to think that with our son experiencing watery/very loose stools that he wanted to treat with more things to get him going????/cleanout etc. We actually fought with him about that,(wasnt pretty, he did call later and apologized and then explained, didnt at the time of treatment, blockage/watery stools connection). Recently did a magnesium citrate cleanout on our son and did clear up the runny stools. He typically struggles with constipation issues though, so be leary on the true cause of the backup symptoms and make sure gastro can verify!!

No substance to it > just very smelly brown water. Any help or feedback please. There are probably foods he is eating now, that the enzymes are not addressing. Try removing the new foods, but keep the enzymes. Do this for a few days, see if the bms improve. Dana --------------------------------- Need a quick answer? Get one in minutes from people who know.
