It’s always frustrating when your child is suffering from diarrhea, but especially so when the diarrhea just won’t seem to go away. Chronic diarrhea isn’t caused by the same things that cause acute, or short-term, diarrhea, and the symptoms of the two differ. If you suspect your child is suffering from a condition that may be causing chronic diarrhea, make an appointment to speak to her pediatrician as soon as possible.

I had an interesting talk with two moms yesterday while at my children’s picture book writing group session. One of the ladies was pregnant with her first child, the other lady had a son already.

High Fiber Diet & Probiotics
Dietary fiber, or roughage, includes parts of plant foods that your body is unable to digest or absorb. The average adult consumes around 10 to 15 grams of fiber daily. The recommended amount is 20 to 35 grams. Varying your diet to include cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables and whole grains will help ensure that you get the optimal amount of fiber for good digestive health. Probiotics, or good bacteria, also assist with digestion by fighting harmful bacteria.
