Please help, I have a friend who's two year old has had watery diarrhea off and on for almost a year. The diarrhea occurs every 1/2 to 1 hr, the doctors have run tests for yeast, parasites, etc. All negative. The child has been an antibiotics and diflucan, has been put on sterile water, etc. The stools are very abrasive and his skin integrity is damaged at this point. A couple of times the diarrhea stopped for approx. a month, then returned. Can you tell me any ideas you may have? Would Rotavirus do this? Would a biopsy be the next step? Thank you.
