Answer:

If you are able to access an ayurvedic doctor, he/she will be able to answer your question. Online consultation is not advisable. Same applies to homeopathy too. If you cannot access such alternative health professionals personally, better to stick to normal allopathic doctors, preferably children's specialist.

A hole that is too small in the nipple of a bottle can cause the baby to take in air. Too large a hole in the nipple of a bottle can cause diarrhea because the baby gets too much formula at once.

In the case of diarrhea, a 2-ounce water loss in a 7-pound baby is equal to a 2-quart loss in a 170-pount adult. Bottle fed babies are more prone to diarrhea than breast fed babies due to the lack of bacterial antibodies. If the infant produces a green stool, this is a sign that the intestinal contents have come through too quickly for the bile to do its work. If baby develops enteritis (bacterial diarrhea), he may have rings around his eyes, pale colored skin, hands and fingers may be white in color. Overfeeding can bring on diarrhea, and too much fat in the diet can make stool flat and create a foul odor. Excessive starch and sugar will cause a sour smell to stool. It will also have a frothy look to it.

An ounce of prevention is worth a point of cure! Restoration of SBOs and lacto-bacteria is essential.

Amoebic dysentry is caused by a monocellular organism, called Entamoeba histolytica found in water. In fecal contaminated water the amoeba are found as cysts (somewhat like egg). By drinking such water, these cysts reach the human intestine and grow into active organisms. They cause tiny ulcers in the intestine and are the cause of blood and mucus mixed loose stools-called amoebic dysentery. Some people have many amoebe in their intestine and they may be termed as chronic amoebic carriers. In such people they loose stools need not be always blood mixed. At times the amoebe travel to the liver and might cause abscess there.
