Suggest Treatment For Explosive Diarrhea In An Infant
Hi, I understand your concern. Explosive stool in an 8.5 months old baby is due to foods/drinks introduced to her as long as no abnormality and no infection was found in her stool. Try to introduce food gradually, give time up to 3 or 5 days to see her bowel movements before introducing new food to her. Her GI tract is still imature and needs time to fully digest. Hope this helps.
