autum: YY jie Jie 's CNY gift to EJ.. I know he not stomach flu (hence no vomiting) and such but perhaps the BRAT diet will stop his diarrhea.?

What foods to offer.
A BRAT diet (i.e. bananas, rice, applesauce and toast) can be a good starting point when your child returns to solid foods AFTER vomiting has stopped but diarrhea continues.
If your child tolerates a BRAT diet, then try cooked carrots, boiled potatoes, mashed vegetables, crackers, bread, cereals, lean meat, chicken or eggs. Yogurt can help to actively treat diarrhea from any cause. (Yogurt contains 'probiotics' such as Bifidus and Acidophalis, which are friendly bacteria).
