Hi I don't have a kid with diarrohea, but she has had extreamly bad nappy rash, she would scream every time I changed her. I used a combination of cod liver oil mixed with zinc and castor oil cream. cod liver oil is a great healer as it has Vit A in it, and zinc cream for a barrier. If the rash gets really lumpy try canestan and hydrocortisone 1% cream, let it dry and put barrier over the top.

If you look at the treads I have posted, find the one about graces nappy rash. lots of mums posted to that one with advice for bummy creams.

HTH

NB: why is she getting diarrohea? Can you eliminate the cause? Also banana constipates, so it might help to stop her going all the time.

Hi,

a friend of mine was saying her little one would always get diarrhoea whenever he had kiwi fruit. It might be worth checking her diet to alleviate the problem as well as the symptoms.

Good luck
