6.5 years old, pooping 3-4 times a day
My 6.5 years old daughter is passing motions after every meal, 3-4 times a day. Which is unlike her usual one time daily. This is happening from 3-4 days, and she otherwise seems healthy, active and normal.
Her appetite is ok, eats well some days and not so well at school as she waits until getting home to use the bathroom. It's not loose motions, but stools are not very firm/smooth and it seems like the food is not digested properly.
It has happened once before too, around a month ago but that time she had loose motions for 2 days, followed by 3-4 regular motions daily for almost a week. I assumed her digestive system is still recovering. On paediatrician advice l, I had given enterogermina repsules twice and zinconia 5 ml once a day for a week. It had helped and she was fine for a month . Now it's same problem again.
It's causing problems for her at school, and i don't know how to help her. Please suggest if she needs probiotics and other supplements for guthealth? or any tests?
