Matilda had a bit of gastro and had diarrhoea for 2 weeks, there were times that it was a bit mucousy... ewwww.
Our GP said to just give her binding foods & see if that helps, like boiled rice bland and mashed bananas. He said to keep up her fluids I could feed her jelly & she took to that. I just kept giving her extra bottles diluted by half formula half water and she didn't seem to mind at that time. The other thing was to cut out all other dairy as it can exacerbate tummy bugs.
Whenever Hannah gets diahorrea I give her slippery elm powder - you get it from the health food shops and it was what our Dr in NZ recommended. It seems to help alot. I give Hannah 1/2 tspn once a day in some yogurt or mixed into her dinner.
When Ryan has diarroeah it sometimes has been mucosy, i panicked at first, but my gp said it was normal and to make sure he gets plenty of fluids, he didn't take to the gastrolyte either
