I did a quick internet search, but didn't have much luck so I figured the next best place to ask would be here.
My daughter's been a bit sick over the last 4 or 5 days. She appears fine (if not horribly cranky), but she just cut 6 teeth (at once) and has had diarrhea. The diarrhea comes in small amounts (1-2 tbsp at a time) it varies between watery and yellow, to thicker and mucus-y (chunky pudding), and it seems to happen hourly.
I've put her back in disposables, so we're going through LOTS right now. A huge pain in the butt (literally!).
Today I noticed something strange. She had corn for lunch (among various other foods), and less than 3 hours later, it was in her diaper. She has not had corn in weeks, so I found this to be very strange. Can it really pass through that quickly??
I may make an appointment if it doesn't begin to firm up in the next few days, but for now I"m going to assume it's related to the teething. She doesn't appear to be sick in any other way (no fever, flu symptoms, etc), but she's very obviously not a happy baby.
She's also developed one HECK of a rash (more like a burn) from the acid in the stool, and constant wiping. I've managed to keep it under control using a combination of cream, air, and vaseline petroleum jelly, but if I don't stay on top of it it comes back quickly.
Has any of you gone through this before? She's 11 months old (today), if that helps.
ANY advice would be appreciated.

We're just getting over a round of diarrhea here, fortunately nowhere near as bad as what you're going through. The only thing I can think of is maybe you could save a diaper or two and help air out her bottom from the rash a bit if you let her go naked in the yard for a while?
