Hi,My 11 months old baby is having discharge 4-5 times a day regularly.This problem started when he was 6 months old.that means from the time i started to give other foods other than breast milk.But it is not a loose motion.It is not causing any weight loss or any stomach pain.If I give broken rice in liquid form for 3-4 days ,this problem will be stopped.but he will not get any nutrition that he want in this age .So can you give ame a solution.
Hi, this type of symptoms can be presentation celiac disease. Celiac disease is a gluten sensitive osteopathy in which there is permanent intestinal intolerance to dietary wheat gliding. It can present as chronic diarrhea, abdominal distention whenever the child is given wheat into diet. The problem usually starts after 6 months of age when food items are introduced to child. You should do blood test like complete blood count fecal fat excretion. Anti endomysial antibodies should also be tested. If the result is positive, then strict gluten-free diet should be given to child. Rice and maize are non-toxic and act as sweet substitute. I hope this will help you. Take care.
