Question

My baby has had diarrhea for about ten days now, with several bowel movements a day; the stool is granular-like. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Medication has not helped; pushing medicine into the buttocks has also been ineffective. Desired assistance: How can I get my child’s bowel movements back to normal?

Answer

Infant diarrhea may be caused by indigestion. If breastfed, the mother can adjust her diet; if formula-fed, the formula can be diluted, and consider adding egg yolks for babies under four months old.
