Hi sir, An 1.4yrs old child passing stools fr 12times a day is surely abnormal though the consistency of his stools is normal,frequency s on a higher side... It could be a GI infection (stomach infection)...

Next Steps

we can use probiotics like bifilac to overcome this problem. 1/2 sachet thrice a day fr 1 week... Probiotics are available in foods (such as yogurt, milk, juices, soy beverages)

Health Tips

Probiotics contain different types of micro-organisms such as yeast (saccharomyces boulardii) and bacteria (such as lactobacillus, bifidobacterium). Some conditions (such as antibiotic use, travel) can change the normal balance of bacteria/yeast. Probiotics are used to improve digestion and restore normal flora.
