You can get Diastop from the chemist which will stop the diahhroea. I assume once that stops then the burning should stop! Otherwise maybe a nice warm bath with a bit of salt or something??

Oh poor you - sorry you're not having a good time of it by the sounds of it 
I guess to stop the burning you need to stop the diarrhoea. You could try diastop (I think that's what they're called) tablets from the chemist. Hope you feel better soon.  -------------

Try Imodium Advance instead of the Diastop. Apparently that is alot better and it's faster acting. I used it when I had Rotovirus. Hope it clears for you soon. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

And, if nothing else, aloe loo paper may help ease things a bit. ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Tea-tree oil in the bath is good for soothing it. Its got some good natural healing properties too which might help you. But yeah, you'd want to stop the runs first.
Hope you're feeling better quickly, poor you! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

With the Diastop or Imodium....wouldn't having the runs be getting rid of whatever's bad in your body? I will definitely be trying the bath, I know that much!! Thanks for your help it's kind of embarrassing asking for help!!

Imodium is really good for stopping it. Yeah it is usually the body's way of getting rid of what ever is in thre, but I know adults can take stuff to stop the runs. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| usually taking immodium etc gives you the opposite prob and makes you constipated! Only take these things if you have to go to work or something cos it is really better to let it run its course. Sorry no suggestions for burning, but sounds horrible. |

Ooh another thought, baby wipes are really nice and gentle on a sore bum-oley too. Get the really thick, soft ones like johnsons or huggies. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
