That's sounding positive hoti, here's hoping he's on the mend and feeling his usual self very quickly.

dr was fairly blase, but said I was doing all the right things.

thankfully, I think ds is on the mend. his appetite is back today, in overdrive lol, and his poos starting to firm up. am going to get some probiotics for me, and try to build him up with good food and fresh air. he has had 2 lots of antibioyics this year, and I think they may have increased the sensitivity of his gut.

ds is eating normally and normal energy of a toddler but still has up to 4 sloppy nappies a day. I started him on probiotics a few days ago. the local dr is hopeless. is this normal, and it will recover on its own, or do I need to find someone else to take DS to see? the nappies aren't completely liquid like when he was sick, but I don't think they are normal. thanks.

I'd probably get him seen to by someone else just to make sure especially if not normal before he got sick. Keep up the probiotics, also bananas are great for firming up stools.
