A touch of gastro

Morning all

DS has a touch of gastro. Not really bad as he's okay during the day but has chucked up twice on Friday morning and then overnight Friday night and last night (Sat). Not really worried about him being de-hydrated at the moment as he is drinking water etc during the day and keeping it down but am trying to get some pro-biotics into him to replace the natural ones he will have lost which will help kill the bug. He drank a yakult for me yesterday but won't have a bar of it this morning. Any recommendations of a good pro-biotic I could get over the counter and put into his water/watered down juice?



When I went to pharmacist yesterday they just gave me hydralyte to make sure he didn't become dehydrated but don't think that is the real problem here.

Thanks

Hope your little man is better soon hon

You can get Inner Health for Kids in the fridge at pharmacies.

Thanks sweetheart ended up dropping into the local pharmacy when I had to go out this morning and that was the one that they recommended so i grabbed it. Good to hear its what you recommend too He took it in a drink earlier so as least I've got that into him. And currently trying to change his mind about wanting to drink milk lol! What do you think my chances are - lol? How are things your end? Been a touch on the hot side for late pregnancy in your neck of the woods recently!

if he really has gastro, I'd be careful with milk. It can make him feel worse and can also lead to temporary lactose intolerance secondary to gastro.

Thanks MG - what I was trying to say I was trying to persude him NOT to drink milk for once as I know to avoid it when they have gastro rather than persude him to actually drink it lol! He loves his milk so was a hard battle but I won this round!
