I have tried the pedialyte and he wouldn't have a bar of it. Interestingly, I tried him on hydralyte iceblocks today and they were a hit! Tasted the same to me, but the novelty factor worked on him...

He doesn't mind eating, in fact sometimes is hungry, but wants all the things that I have been told not to give him... bananas are the favourite at the moment, so glad he can have those!

Just so hard having him sick for so long, he has lost around 2kg over the last 12 days... I am taking him back to docs tomorrow for checkup.]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:19:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=762014&title=salmonella#762014 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761977&title=salmonella#761977 Author: jaycee

yep, toast is the best thing I have found. With bananas make sure they are not too ripe as they have the opposite effect .

You can get pedalite on prescription from the Dr to help re-hydrate but to be honest, it is foul. Neither of my two would drink it and after trying it myself I am not surprised. ]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:53:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761977&title=salmonella#761977 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761905&title=salmonella#761905 Author: hannibal

Hi, I 2nd the toast - it helps bung them up, so do pototoes,apples and bananas apparently. Lots of water too. ]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:55:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761905&title=salmonella#761905 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761649&title=salmonella#761649 Author: monikah

ive just had a really bad dose of gastroenteritis and after being on IV fluids i was given enerlyte sachets to put with water to try get my fluids back up. i was looking on the back and you can give it to toddlers so that might help. things will get better way quicker once he is hydrated properly]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:43:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761649&title=salmonella#761649 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761618&title=salmonella#761618 Author: kabe

Oh no, the poor thing!! I've had it twice and both times felt like death. Last thing I felt like doing was eating. Toast is probably the best and regular sips of water. I felt better after about 3 or 4 days. I got given some great tablets to settle my tummy cramps, but I'm not sure what you can give to toddlers.]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:13:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761618&title=salmonella#761618 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761362&title=salmonella#761362 Author: peachy

Oh no Bel, I have no idea but sending you big hugs. Poor you and poor Luke!]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:49:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761362&title=salmonella#761362 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761258&title=salmonella#761258 Author: Bel

Luke appears to have Salmonella - he has had diarrhoea for 9 days now, and now has a cold on top of that!! Doctor is running further tests to confirm, but is fairly sure. There is no medicine to help...

Just wondering if anyone else has had experience with this in their toddler? I need ideas of what I can feed him (supposed to be avoiding dairy and fruit - his favourites!)

Also, any ideas of how long it might last and when we can return to doing our activites etc]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:13:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28446&PID=761258&title=salmonella#761258
