He said, "Not nice...this one kiam kiam!" Aargh! Paik Ling - OMG, 2 months, diarrhea? Lucky you found out in the end. He won't starve now hehehe wait for my next post. Syn - I'm mystified by the Uphamol too and yes, its dosage is higher than Panadol. Yeah, I think meds go by weight - I recall paed telling me I've got to give him 5 ml as he's already 14 kg. He's been drinking pots and pots of barley :-) Will try chrysanthemum tea next! Vien – will you believe that the ORS is the one thing he will not drink?

After my 'boot camp' , he's eating better too LOL LifeJuicer - You should be an expert in Indian curries by now, eh? I want to prepare a dhall curry one of these days as I think I've got all the ingredients. Lucas loves dhall curry with capati and roti canai too! We can't wait till Dec slurp, slurp... Mott - I didn't know barley water stops diarrhea? Been giving him for the heatiness. Uncle Lee - Yup, we've got to try harder. Any auspicious month for a baby girl ;-) ?

We had TONS because didn't realise that Bryan was actually allergic to the milk so we thought he had diarhoea for 2 months!!! Don't worry about the food too much - toddles are not likely to starve themselves. Just keep the fluids coming. You take care (of your sanity) too!! Hydration is key in diarhoea cases.

Yes, rice water does help but if you're lazy like moi, just let the diarrhea runs its course. Make sure you get some electrolyte drinks into his system. Oh dear, definitely not a good week for you.
