Anyone have any ideas what this could be??

My son has had runny poop for 3 days, but said he didn't feel bad, today he is saying his stomach is hurting like someone punched him and he seems a little sluggish. He also has cancer sore in mouth which I know means infection somewhere.

We can't get him to doc til Mon, but now I am wondering if I should take him to ER

Pamy, I'd take him to the doctor on Monday to have him checked out.

Runny poop for 3 days can throw his electrolytes off (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, etc) and thus the sluggish feeling.

Just a mom's opinion here, but I'd say he ate something to cause a slight case of "food poisoning"....but since he's not vomitting, I'm not real sure. It could be a virus of some type too.

Make sure he's drinking some Gatorade and eating small amounts of food....I'd keep him on a BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Dry Toast).

Hope he's feeling better soon!

Lots of mild cases of food poisoning exhibit as diarhea only. Or it could be a little virus. He probably feels punched in the stomach cause all that muscle along his intestine is sore from working so hard, and so often. Eggie is exactly right about the electrolytes, Gatorade or Pedialyte are both good. Or any of the sports drinks.

You want to make sure he doesn't become dehydrated - fever, rapid heartbeat, confusion, lethargic. You can test by pushing on his gums and seeing how long it takes for them to get pink. The longer they stay white, the more dehydrated he is. Make sure he drinks lots of water based stuff!

Pepto can also help ease his discomfort too. Yucky as it is!

Pamy, The only thing I'd like to add is you might want to avoid the Pepto until you talk with the doctor. I'm not sure if it's changed but it used to have an aspirin compound in it. Just in case it's a virus rather than food poisioning you don't want to run the risk of Reyes Syndrome. Hope he get to feeling better soon.

I was thinking the same thing about the pepto.
Just give tons of liquids.

Thanks you guys!!!! He is getting worse, and is asking to go to doc, so I know he is sick.

I have some pedialyte and will give that to him now

Thanks again!!!!

Pamy...please let us know! Prayers for you and your son. I hope it's nothing serious.

Thanks to everyone for the advice as well. DS just got an invitation to a sleepover birthday party for Friday night. We're cautioning that it "might" be a bit too soon, but we'll see. If I can enforce two days of rest and popsicles, hopefully he'll feel up to it...at least for a little while if not for the sleepover.

Thanks everyone!!!!!! YOur thoughts and prayers were heard and we are thankful for all of you!!!

He has a bacterial stomach virus, he has to do a stool sample and take for testing as a precaution but they sent him home (Thank God!) with some meds and have him off summer camp for 3 days.

While we were sitting in the ER, in another curtained area was a pregnant girl, Dylan asked me what's wrong with her(she was pacing in pain) I said she is going to have a baby, he said 'Well, good thing they have that big roll of paper towels outside her curtain then" LOL..that just struck me funny, but then again I am tired and slap happy!

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers!! TVCH-er's ROCK!

Woo hoo, glad to hear that, Pamy! Hopefully he feels better quickly, but at least it wasn't something to make him stay at the hospital.

Pamy, since it's a bacterial virus, you might not want to give him alot of sugary drinks (Gatorade) to keep him hydrated. Sometimes, the bacteria can feed off the sugar and make things worse. (this is what happened last year with my son). Hope he starts feeling better soon!

Aww, Pamy, that was scary, huh? But you did the right thing by taking him to the hospital when he began to feel worse. Better to be safe! Plus hate for them to be in pain for so long.

Hope he's out of pain now and sleeping a lot. Poor dear. Bet you both need to catch up on your rest.

Time for the Ouch-o-Meter!
