What Does Diarrhea, Gurgling Stomach And Low Appetite In An Infant Mean?

On Thursdsy my sohn ( 10 months old) has had 3x explosive diarrhea ( color brown) and on Friday only one loose stool / diarrhea ( mustard yellow). This morning again 1x loos stool/ diarrhea sofar ( mustard yellow ). He continues to have a gurgling sound in his tummy and is whiny / cranky at times .. But also plays and seems content at other times. He does not like soda or pedia lyte . He does breast feed for short periods of time . He does not show interest in his favorite cookies or fruit compot or any other foods 2-3 bites unhappily taken and then crys. He did eat some blended chicken soup with ritz crackers on Friday 2x. Is the mustard yellow stool to be expected ? Should I oh to the clinic ? I am just worried because he looks do pale and with dark circles under the eyes . I was sick eith the same .. No more diarrhea just gurgling and nausea .. Maybe the stomach flu.

Hi...
1. Mustard yellow stool is expected.
2. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. No need to go to clinic.
3. It is stomach flu and Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better.
