What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Loose Stools In A Child?
HI,my 8 year old son was diagnosed with gastroenteritis from 25th of January he has been experiencing abdominal cramps shivers and diarrhea up until today. He has been given Gatorade water soup rice and other non greasy foods and yet this continues even though the stool is not as soft be he still goes to the bathroom frequently. He also passes gas a lot. Could this be more than Gastroenteritis?

Hi,
Your child seems to suffer from either giardiasis or amoebiasis. he needs a course of metrogyl after a stool test to rule out giardiasis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
