Kid issues

Anyone's kids have UC or similar? I've had UC since I was 21, almost 35 now. My 8yr old has had 3 bathroom incidents today in a 2.5hr period. Now that being said, she was on a 5 day course of Azithromycin started on the 18th finished this past Friday (23rd), but it keeps workin up to and slightly beyond 10days(Today being day 10). I remember mine starting the same way, bathroom trips I couldn't hold, granted it was almost 14years ago, but I remember it went quickly to diarrhea, not mostly solid. Which hers has been. According to Bristol stool chart it would be a 4 for her, solid and good size, followed by smaller pieces later. Called Nurse and she thinks she's been holding it too long, but she wasn't able to make it from her room to the bathroom today, she had gas an a little cane out. No mucous no blood. So I'm not sure that's it. Any insight or opinions welcomed. Just trying not to stress. Anytime there is a bathroom issue my mind goes to worst case scenario. Thanks in advance.

Firstly, I’d like to say that I completely understand the anxiety you’re feeling right now. My daughter is 3 and any time she has a loose poop or bad gas or a stomachache, I immediately fear the worst. It’s so hard to not go there.

I’d say it’s likely that the antibiotics bothered her stomach. I would definitely start giving probiotics and see if it’ll help to clear the issue up. I give my daughter the Culturelle Kids probiotics in the morning and at night when she’s having any type of digestive issues.

Hopefully she starts feeling better soon.

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping it is just the antibiotics. The 1.6% that makes me feel better. She has been on culturelle kids but not every day, so im gonna put her back on them oncr in Am once in PM till things get back on track. I've also cut her sugar intake way down. Thanks again.
