I'm thinking it's a tummy bug as he's not in pain, stomach is soft and not distended. He did eat some yogurt this morning and a couple hours ago had a snack of bread, peanuts -- I know not ideal, but it's what he requested -- and then another piece of bread with peanut butter on it.

Ugh, this morning he ate some yogurt and seemed fine. Used the restroom and had loose stools. Started his vest and he said he felt "dizzy" (nausea?) and proceeded to throw up. Has a low grade (99) fever. Tummy soft, he's happy... Hate not knowing if we should do something, if it's something more than a stomach bug...

Grab a stool sample. It is so quick and easy and if it shows something then he can get the right treatment faster. J had sushi with a few coworkers in Miami a few years ago. we all had loose stools and slight nausea for a week. I had it off and on for 3-4 weeks!! I am sure it was a parasite that I could have treated, but obviously didn't.

I'm sorry to hear he is not feeling well. I would call the doctor and let them run some tests. Hope he feels better soon.

He went back and forth with low grade temp and normal. Decreased appetite, but then would eat well and kept food down. Sent him off to school Monday morning and he threw up outside his class room. Finally had normal stools and no fever. Stayed home with grandma and proceeded to eat popcorn, crackers, peanut butter and drink soda. She later fixed him a cheese sandwich. And later that night he had a low grade (99) fever again.
He was bouncing off the walls, happy, no stomach pain. Tummy was soft.
I wondered if maybe his carnation instant breakfast was too rich for him due to his stomach bug, so gave him regular milk with Tuesday morning's breakfast and he threw up again. Told his dad his stomach was bubbly. So he stayed home yesterday. Requested Dill pickles and popcorn for lunch. Bleah!
So today he went back to school and I jump every time the phone rings wondering if the schools going to call. I didn't give him any milk with breakfast this morning, thinking his tummy might not quite be ready. When I spoke with his daycare director, he said "Oh, he must be the first one to get it this year".
So based on symptoms, he and I think that he's got a touch of rotatvirus or whatever stomach bugs tends to go around each fall. We've been fortunate in that DS only got the "stomach flu" once, when he was a toddler. So we're sorta grasping at straws here as we're not used to him getting sick!
