Hi, my two year son has developed really severe diarrhoea over the weekend. Despite being a homoeopath myself I am having no luck with helping him.

His symptoms at the moment are as follows - extremely foul smelling (sort of fishy or sour) stool which is yellow in colour. The stool is completely runny and will pour out of his nappy. It also has some lumpy (also yellow) bits in it and some mucus. He has had about 4 - 6 of these nappies over the last 24 - 30 hours. Just before passing a stool he will indicate that his tummy hurts and just after he is distressed. However once he has been cleaned up his mood is as if nothing has happened. He is still full of energy and seems happy. He is eating very little as this seems to aggravate the condition but is feeding from me still, taking ice blocks and drinking some water.

I am concerned that he's condition doesnot seem to be abating, it started with vomiting (two bouts) the day before. All in all I would say this is his third day of illness with diarrhoea. He has no fever.

Any suggestions - I have tried Arsenicum 6 and Podophyllum 30 a few repeated doses with no change really. Infact he had the worst stool after his second dose of Podophyllum.

My daughter and husband aslo had the same thing but improved greatly after Arsenicum. Any help would be really appreciated I hate the thought of him going all this time without eating and without any improvement.

Thanks again Sara
