First of all I'd like to say that I am new member. I just joined and i'm looking forward to being a part of this board.

I have a beautiful 10 month old son. He is the light of my life. Recently has come down with a Stomach Virus a very bad one. It's been going on all week. Sometimes he vomits. But he's got a bad case of Diarrhea. It just won't stop. He's on soy milk, but drinks very little and eats very little. He's already lost half a pound and he may be loosing more. I am trying everything to keep him hydrated.

He's been to the doctor's twice and we are now giving him florastor in his food. So we'll see how that goes. I am so worried. I think he may end up in the ER to get fluids through IV. This is the first time he's come down with this stomach bug. He's had it before but not this bad.

Can anyone please help me with some advice. How long did it last with your children.
