Toddler With Very Painful Bowel Movements And Inconsistent Stool. What Could This Indicate?

ok here it goes.... my 17 month old grandson has very painful B.M. for past week, according to my daughter in law he will scream in pain and then does his B.M. She states it sometimes is solid and other times very loose and grainy. Once he does finish he is okay. I'm very worried it is something else and I noticed his diet is not all that healthy and may be lacking proper nutrients for a 17 mo.old infant. Please advise- they do not have health insurance, so that may be reason for not taking him to M.D. Thank you

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your child is having enteritis which ia mostly viral in nature and settles in few days.
Most important is to maintain hydration.
Give him buttermilk,lemonade,banana
,rice porridge,boiled potato.
Probiotic can also be given for 2to 3days.
Hope this helps.
God bless..
