DD (nearly 22 months) had a really bad diarrhea yesterday (Monday). So bad daycare threw out the pack n play she was napping in. She had thrown up four times Friday and we fed her BRAT over the weekend and gentle food yesterday. No BMs yet today (had a normal one yesterday night) but her babysitter fed her two bananas for a snack instead of one. What are the chances that double the banana will cause another diarrhea tomorrow? I don't want to keep her home tomorrow, but I don't want another call from daycare either!

I've always heard bananas are binding? So I'd think it would cause the opposite of diarrhea. That's why they're part of the BRAT diet.

@Ms. RV: I thought banana was supposed to have the opposite effect of diarrhea?
Did she have diarrhea over the weekend too? Any chance it was just the same illness following its natural course? Hope she feels better soon

Agree with others, bananas are binding. My son can't eat bananas too many days in a row otherwise he ends up backed up.

@IRunForFun: @bees_knees: @KT326: They are binding in moderation, but I've read too much can do the opposite because of all the sugars.
@bees_knees: I think it was the bug leaving her system. She had no digestive problems all weekend and seemed like herself Sunday and Monday. That big blowout was out of the blue.

It could still be he virus getting out of her system. We had the stomach virus from hell earlier this year. My son would be fine for several days and then have diarrhea again. It took a really long time for his system to adjust even when we thought we were in the clear.
