help! diahrea in 3 year old, need advice!

[naturallymommy]

Four days ago he got his first stomach flu type thing and threw up for half the day. He never had a fever or anything, the next day he had diarrhea. Like green pure liquid kind, it's been about 3 days and it turned to a thickish slightly watery "dijon mustard" type. i'ts not too frequent and he's staying hydrated. He's acting fine besides an occasional stomach grab when it's time to go and doesn't have a fever.

Anything I can do besides keeping him hydrated or herbs or anything I can give him? It's been going on for awhile and he's never had diarrhea before. Any help at all would be really really appreciated. Thanks.

Culturelle is GREAT for diarrhea, available at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, GNC, etc. I have dosed2 x the recommended amount to stop diarrhea and it worked in 18-24 hours.

My children had a tummy bug like that a few weeks ago and DS had the same issues for about 5-6 days. I wouldn't be alarmed, just keep your child hydrated and avoid foods that irritate the bowel.
