Take her to a Children's Hospital ASAP.\nThis happened to my little cousin.  He hadn't had a bowel movement in about a week, and they took him to a hospital and the DR said it would pass.  So a few hours later they took him to Children's and they said that if they would have waited any longer he would have literally burst.  They are now in the process of suing the first hospital.  I hope this doesn't scare you, but prompts you to go to a good hospital and quickly.

While rarely serious when treated properly, diarrhea can send your toddler to the hospital if he becomes dehydrated, so your first concern should be giving him enough liquids. If your toddler isn't also vomiting, it should be fairly easy to give him extra water to drink. If he can't keep liquids down, though, or if his diarrhea is severe (a watery bowel movement every two hours or more), call his doctor, who may suggest a pediatric electrolyte solution, like Pedialyte, ReVital, or a generic brand. These solutions are available in drugstores and come in flavors that most toddlers will readily drink if they're dehydrated.\n\nAvoid sweetened fluids like sodas (including ginger ale), athletic drinks (like Gatorade), Jell-O, sugar water, and undiluted fruit juices. All of these contain sugar that will draw water into the intestine and make the diarrhea worse. Also don't use anti-diarrhea medication unless the doctor prescribes it.\n\nDoctors now advise continuing to feed solid foods to a child with diarrhea. While there's nothing wrong with feeding your toddler the classic BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and dry toast), the AAP says any foods made up of complex carbohydrates, such as rice, wheat, potatoes, bread, and cereal, as well as lean meats, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables, are safe to eat. (If your toddler temporarily refuses to eat, don't worry. As long as he stays hydrated his appetite should return in a day or two.)\n\nStudies have shown that live bacterial cultures, found in yogurt, are a safe and effective way to cut down on the amount and duration of diarrhea. It's an easy way to treat the problem, especially if your toddler loves the taste of yogurt. Just be sure to buy yogurt with lactobacillus, or live cultures.\n\nIf your toddler is uncomfortable during a bout of diarrhea, try to cuddle and comfort him as much as possible and keep his bottom dry. Use care, tenderness, and plenty of diaper cream when changing him, since it's easy for your toddler's bottom to become red and irritated from the loose stools.

May be you give him things like chocolate, sweets, crisps, etc that kill his appetite! He might have a friends thats got those things, or drinking loads of fizzy drinks. Or i it the money you give him that he uses to buy stuff that fills his stomach?\n\nOr it could be that lunch time is when he gets time to play the way he wants to!\n\nAnd the headache is definately hunger. i always get headaches when I dont eat.\n\nBest solution if I was the Parent, woud stack him at breakfast.\nForce him to eat as much as he can, and if he eats more smaller things, he will be okay. and when he comes back in the evening, you can give hm the reall food he likes.

You need to take the baby to the pediatrician. She could have a number of problems from pyloric stenosis to atresia or fistula of her trachea and esophagus. I can't help you anymore without knowing how often the baby does this, what color the food is after coming back out, and some other questions.

Give her prunes and juice that has prune juice, or apple juice.  Also do not make an issue over her going potty, you can actually give her psychological problems and there are certain complexs in psychology that I can not rememeber the name of, off hand.  I think she may have a bowel stricture.  Have you had this checked?  By the way take her to another doctor for another evaluation also.  Maybe go to 3 doctors.  You can also buy infant glycerine suppositories, or give her metamucil with lots of water, they have orange flavored.  I am a nurse and have a psychology major also

That sounds as though he's either hemorrhaging internally or he has a block somewhere in his GI tract.  You should call his pediatrician today if not sooner.

oh i feel so sorry for your little one! that's way too long to be sick. and a fever of 104 is extremely high which can be dangerous. when my daughter was 16 months, her fever got so high she had a seisure. the doctor said very high fevers can cause brain damage. you should give your daughter motrin which will really knock that fever out for alot longer period of time than tylenol. i have had several doctors tell me over the years that you can give motrin and tylenol at the same time. i really hope she gets well real soon. i will say a prayer for her as soon as i'm done typing this. oh geeze i just realized you said may 19, i thought it said may 6! so it's been about 4 days, hang in there. a month ago my 4 year old son was sooooo sick for 4 days, high fevers, vomiting, i was so scared i took him to ER twice and the clinic once. it was just something i had to wait out and let it take it's course.

Maybe you should consider telling her that she needs to take a break in the kitchen, she deserves it. And let you do some of the cooking. You shouldn't come out and bluntly say,"your cooking is horrible!" but nicely tell her the things she can do to make a certain dish taste better. Like,"baby next time use less/more salt" or "I don't think it should've stayed in the oven that long" or you should never put ____ when you are making ___ because it will taste better without it. etc. You catch my drift? Be nice about it. Theres always a nicer way of saying anything to anyone. You can even tell her that it would be nice if the both of you work on something together and while you two are doing that you can give her some pointers. :)

I have been a nanny for years and never had a child starve yet.  In my studies, I have read that a child will never starve themselves, however, I don't think that I would want to be satisfied with that answer if I was the parent.  There could be many reasons why she doesn't eat.  \n\nOne child I worked with had bowel problems.  It hurt her to go to the bathroom and she realized that the more she ate the more it would hurt.  Please have her checked out by a doctor if you haven't already.  \n\nIf it isn't physical, there could be many other factors.  Is she hyper active?  Does she snack often?  Does she sneak food?  Is she easily distracted (more than a normal 3 year old)?  Does she have any other behaviors that are abnormal that could be a symptom?  Is she emotionally disturbed by anything?  Does she seem to be hungry and grouchy or is she normally happy and energetic?  \n\nAnother boy I tended about the same age, had ADD.  He could not sit at the table and eat an entire meal.  I kept healthy snacks at the table for him and he was not allowed to roam around the house with food.  He often like to try to sneak food as well.  His parents also thought he wasn't eating, but when I monitored him, he was definitely getting what he needed.  \n\nAlso, in my experience children who are well nourished have plenty of energy and if they get the appropriate amount of rest are generally healthy and happy.  Those are things to look for with your daughter.  \n\nIs she a picky eater?  Are there lots of foods that she just doesn't like?  Maybe try including her in cooking or gardening.  I know when children take part in the work of cooking and harvesting that they have some kind of connection with the food almost and will be more willing to try it, be curious about how it tastes and enjoy learning where food comes from how it was made etc.  \n\nI would suggest to make sure that you have a regular routine time to eat.  That seems to help a ton.  \n\nThe last tip which always seems to come up is CONSISTANCY.  If you consistantly have the same expectation, communicate that reasonable expectation and consistantly enforce it, you will find success.  \n\nGood luck!

Is it normal for my child to vomit a lot?\nYes, it is. Kids vomit for a variety of reasons. Here's a look at five of the most common and what to do about them.\n\nStomach flu\nA stomach flu caused by a virus is probably the most common culprit behind your child's churning tummy. He's especially vulnerable if he's in daycare or has older siblings who bring home new germs. Avoid spreading germs by insisting that everyone in the house wash their hands thoroughly after using the bathroom or changing a diaper.\n\nIn addition to vomiting, a child with a stomach virus may have diarrhea, loss of appetite, or fever. (Children may also wind up sick with what seems like a generic stomach bug as the result of food poisoning.)\n\nWhat to do\nWhen your child vomits he's losing precious fluids, and it's important to replace them so he won't get dehydrated. To do this, you can give him an electrolyte solution created for children (ask your pediatrician for a recommendation). Electrolyte solutions are very mild and gentle on the stomach, but if your child has trouble keeping them down, you can try giving him clear liquids such as diluted (or half-strength) apple juice, flat ginger ale (make sure it's made with real ginger, not just the flavoring), or water.\n\nHere's the plan: Once he hasn't vomited in a few hours, start giving your child small sips of liquid every four or five minutes. Gradually increase the amount of liquid. When your toddler hasn't vomited for 12 hours, you can start moving back to his regular diet, but keep giving him plenty of fluids. Start with easy-to-digest foods like crackers or cereal. You can also try frozen clear liquids such as popsicles. Some electrolyte solutions are available in popsicle form.\n\nGoing to sleep may also help settle your child's tummy; the stomach often empties into the intestines during sleep, relieving his need to throw up. Tummy-sleeping may help ease nausea better than back sleeping.\n\nIf your child continues to vomit every time he tries to eat or drink, call your doctor. To prevent dehydration, he may need to be given fluids intravenously.

Could be a sign of liver problems from all the fast food.  Probably she's not getting enough fiber too.  Take her in for a checkup and lay off the fast food!

R U saying you have a 21 y.o. daughter that likes to eat and you are trying to help her reduce it so she doesn;t get heavy or heavier?? IF SO...\nWhat I suggest is talking to her about exercising and maybe you or she can learn how to cook somethings that are healther.  But alos what I can add is I am currenlty losing weight myself and what God has allowed me to realize that most of the eating I was doing was NOT b/c I was hungry, but b/c I was lonely, bored, sad, depressed, angry, etc. (emotional eating). This maybe somethign to address with yoru daughter. I found that being heavy setI also ate more b/c I was overwieght. It's almost like trying to console yourself by doing soemthing you know is not healthy.  Eating for mea llowed me to not have to think or expereicne certain things for a certain amount of time (while eating) and even if it was 5 minutes of escape I woudl take it and even try to extend the time by eating 2nd's and 3rd's.  I suggest you pray and ask God to help you help yoru daughter an dgive you what to say that she knows you are not trying to judge or embarrass her but that you are concerned for not just her weight but her overall well-being, THEN speak w/ your what's really going on w/ her eating.

She could be dehydrated. You should ask your Dr. also re. symptoms of Diabetes, such as a fruity smell to the breath, increased urination , can't recall the rest. Are there control issues at your house? I only ask because an environment where things are either out of control or one or more people are tending to over-control, that is a perfect set-up for eating disorders. Food & it's consumption ( or lack thereof) becomes the one thing the child can have some control over. You'd better seriously lookinto this with someone with expertise in this field, be safe.

It could also be something called pica.  This is an eating disorder that is characterized by the repeated eating of non-nutritive substances over a period of one month or longer.  You need to discuss this with her parents so they can take her to her pediatrcian and discuess with them for a propoer diagnosis and proper treatment.

Babies do that when they are attempting to latch on, especially when really hungry. Does she latch on afterward or does she just refuse completely? If she latches on, don't worry. If she refuses completely, call your doctor RIGHT AWAY!! Do not wait until tomorrow. Something may be seriously wrong. Good luck to you.

Pregnant or bulimic.  Did she just have a feast? She might be trying to throw it up to lose weight.  Keep an eye on her, ask her point blank of your suspicions, then if she doesn't comply. Take it to your parents!  Good luck, you are a good sis!
