Hi,thank you for your query in HCM.Your 2 year old child is suffering from diarrhea for the past 5 weeks and the stool is smelly,blood and stool tests being normal.Please get the stool tested for LACTOSE INTOLERENCE and if it is positive you have to avoid milk for 4-6 weeks but you can give rice based diet and also curd.Please rule out giardiasis and amebiasis by repeating the tests.
