For about 3 weeks now, DD has had runny poop/diarrhea. After 1.5 weeks, I took her to the pedi. The pedi put her on a BRAT diet (bananas rice applesauce toast) for a couple days. The first day, it was really bad..she went like 8 times, but only a little each time. Then, it was less runny. But the day she was on regular food, it was back. They did a stool sample that came back "normal". She did cut a tooth (an extra front tooth, oddly) during this time, but it's been broken through for a few days now. I'm hoping that's all it is, but I really don't know.
Currently, she's only going twice a day, but when she goes, it's pretty runny. I've read the connection between this and celiac, and I'm really concerned because she has autoimmune hypothyroidism, and I'm not sure if there's an increased risk.
I guess I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do about this- how long before I take her to a specialist, etc.
In case this matters: She eats a relatively healthy diet (mostly "clean eating" type for her)...organic fruits and veggies, home cooked meals, no juice, but she does have candy and snacks here and there....and I think dh got her mcdonalds today...sigh.
