What Are The Home Remedies For Runny Tummy?

Hi doctor. My 2yr old has a runny tummy and no fever. I have tried sachets of powder for diarrhoea but ot no avail. There is no issue with milk. Tummy is active after he eats solids.He seems to be in pain trying alternate positions to seek comfort. What home remedies can you recommend?

1. going by the history: loose motions, no fever, irritability [active tummy, pain] it seems to be case of mild dehydration, but to be sure take immediately to a hospital or Paediatrician.
2. Orolyte [sachets of powder] is the most important part of treatment, than drugs. feed continuously, as much as the baby takes except when abdomen is distended or if vomiting.

PS. what is lost in stools is being replaced and the child needs more water [so don't worry]
3. If breast feeding: clean the nipples before feeding
4. If bottle feeding: boil the bottle and milk before feeding
5. after every motion, clean and dry the buttocks, and apply talcum powder. If redness is seen apply a soothing ointment.
6. Principle is to take adequate quantities of water & electrolytes: in addition to sachet powder give: rice ganji, sago ganji,buttermilk, biscuits, over ripe bananas, apples, bread, daal water, fruit juices, lime water with salt and sugar, coconut water. avoid aerated drinks, chillies,all deep fried foods.
