Brief Answer:
Stomach viruses most likely


Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question regarding your Grandson.

These things often start as stomach viruses. Sometimes the lining of the stomach can be so upset by these viruses that it takes weeks to heal. To help speed the process, you can start using a probiotic.
There are probiotics made for children that are tasteless and can be mixed with any food or drink. This almost always regulates the GI system and ends the vomiting and diarrhea.
