Why does my baby have diarrhea/constipation for so long?

baby diarrhea
blueberry muffins asked:


During winter time when my baby turned 7 months she caught a cold/virus & got really sick. When she got sick she had diarrhea all the time. She was sick for 2 months but her diarrhea lasted until she was almost almost 12 months old. It lasted about 4 months!

finally her stools were normal again for 2 weeks.

Than she got off formula & switch to whole milk. She would get constipated a lot because of the whole milk. She was constipated for 5 months! not straught tho. On & off.

When she had a runny nose for 2 days she had diarrhea again. she continued to have it for 5 days. had diarrhea 3-5 times a day. during this time ive been givin her liquid vitamins.

Just this afternoon she was constipated again! i thought her constipation was finally over but it came back.

She has always been drinkin the same amount of milk because she is such a picky eater n wont eat!! I know she needs fiber to help **** but she barely takes the food i give her. I dont know wats wrong.
Ive taking her to the dr and he prescribed her the miralax powder. But i dont use it all the time due to the fact that she will need it all the time. Has this happened to anyone? Your baby having diarrhea for 4 months. then constipation. It frustrating!
