Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 I was wondering if anyone has any advise on which way of life I should lead with my son. About 2 weeks ago I was in the hospital and they taught my son how to chew and swallow which was great but about 3-4 days after he started the food he started up with watery stools between 6-10 times a day which kept going on . My pediatrician said stop with the food and just nurse (he is 2) and see if there is a difference so I did . His stools were less times but if I would give him any food it would be very watery and he would make more . Someone advised me to speak to the doctors from the hospital I was at and get there advise so I did today and he said don't worry he doesn't have what your daughter has it is not something catchy just give all solid foods and don't look at what comes out from the bottom. Now I am confused go along with my pediattrician and keep him off food till the diareah goes away then start him with chicken (even though he doesn't like it) because he believes it is a good possibility he is starting what Miriam has ( this is how Miriam started all her problems aftr we started her on solids she started with the diareah till today. or to follow the othe r doctor. If some one can give me advise on which doctor to follow and what is the likely hood he has EG like my daughter has. Now Miriam she is down with the prednisone to 5 mg every other days (she has been on the prednisone for 7 weeks already) She waws making everyones life miserable for a while and she finally said to me the other day " mommy do you know why I am always crying ( which was 80% of the day) why because my tummy hurts alot alot " so I took out of her diet most things except chicken and rice and she is a different child she is back to her sweet self. Does that mean the steroids aren't working.
