Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Toddler's diarrhoea is a common cause of chronic (persistent) nonspecific diarrhoea affecting children between the ages of 1 and 5 years. Toddler's diarrhoea is not serious and the child is well and resolves eventually as the age progresses. You can often see bits of vegetable food in the stools (such as bits of undigested rice, carrot, sweetcorn, etc). These have come from a recent meal. Toddler's diarrhoea is not due to malabsorption (poor absorption) of food or to a serious bowel problem. It is also not due to an intolerance of a type of food.
Do not give children too much fruit juice or squash. If you do give your child squash or juice, make sure that it is very well diluted. Changing the fibre content of the diet may be helpful, as very low- or high-fibre intakes may make symptoms worse in some children. Fibre (roughage) is the part of plant food that is not digested. It stays in the gut and is passed in the stools (faeces). Fibre is present in many foods, in particular in fruit, wholemeal bread and vegetables. So, if your child has a low-fibre diet, it may help to increase the fibre in the diet to normal levels. This is simply achieved by eating a healthy balanced diet that includes some fruit and vegetables.
Hope that will take care of your problem. Feel free to communicate back in case of further queries if any.
