What Causes Diarrhea With Abdominal Distension?

My son who is 2 years old has mild diarrhea but his abdomen is very distended. No fever or vomitting, but a of sloshing around of liquid in his belly. Is this something I need to be worried about? No other pertinent history except that he vomitted several days ago and had severe diarrhea x 1 week about one month ago.
