Have her eat white rice (cooked, of
course) without butter or salt or
anything. Just white rice.
You should also try Pepto Bismal or
Imodium.

to be honest there isnt realy much. try
giving her food like toast or a sandwitch
i know its wierd but becasue its bread in
the stomach it will take in all the exess
water and everything and shouldnt be as
bad!.
even then you can only have diareha for as
much as youve eaten. its like being sick!
after a while there wont be nothing to
bring out

Does she have a fever? That would be
indicative of flu. However, the best thing
to do in cases of 'the runs' is to give
pleny of liquid (juice, water, etc) to
keep her hydrated. She can eat whatever
she would normally eat - as long as she
can stomach it.
I hope she feels better soon!!!

Nat, they are talking about the BRAT diet.
It used to be all the rage for kids with
the hershey squirts. Now doctors say give
them whatever they will eat, there isn't
any reason not to give them milk (if they
want it) or anything else.
I guess because rice, bananas, applesauce
and toast are all bland?

Funny you mention that ingi...cause when
Christian was ill and had the runs the
nurse at the daycare didn't allow milk for
the day....
And those things are given to solidfy your
stool and keep your stomach  ....

I also recommend the BRAT diet - Bananas,
Rice, Applesauce, Toast.
I used that diet when I had morning
sickness, it actually helped
