hi my 4 1/2 year old son has had diarreha for 2 1/2 weeks now sometimes it is really watery and other times it is just loose, also there are times it is really bight green and sometimes it is just dark, also he goes like 5 times a day and even has accidents where he thinks he is just going to has gas but some bowel comes out with it.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear Parent,

There can be many reasons for your child's diarrhoea. It could be related to his diet or can be an infection, inflammation or absorption problem. Taking in excess of fruit juices or sport drinks can be a cause. The flu may not be related to the diarrhoea. I suggest that you get him evaluated by a pediatrician who can take a complete diet history, examine him and order tests if needed.
