Hello, thank you for your reply. I thought it was the antibiotics causing this problem. However, when my 10 year old son woke up this morning, he two had the exact experience with the stomach pains and XXXXXXX diarrhea and he isn't on any time of medication. I have 2 other children 5 and 1, and they are not having any of these problems. What can it be?
Hi,
Welcome again,
Antibiotics destroy your native gut flora and make you more susceptible to diarrhea.
If both of you have consumed same food, then it is possible that a particular food have caused loose motions to both of you.
Immunity/body resistance vary from person to person. Response depends upon quantity consumed of that particular food also.
Stool test can help in finding out the cause.
Loose motion is generally self limiting. You have to take care of dehydration particularly.
