My two year old son had something like that a little while ago. His doctor had me bring in a dirty diaper to test it for various things. It turned out ot be none of them. He advised me to just give him whatever he wanted to eat as witholding certain foods wasn't making any difference anyway. It just resolved itself in about three weeks total. I was never so happy to see a normal dirty diaper!!! Good luck!

Proudmom: cutie pix of your daughter!

Here's a suggestion, no dairy (except yogurt) no soya (hard on the system) and as long as she is not throwing up give her as much fatty foods as possible (wow am I going to get it from the health nuts !)
The fat (someone told me and unfortunately had to try it & works) help hold together the stool.

So give her french fries, scrambled eggs, chips even!

rice & oatmeal are great for tummies.

soy helps elimination, so it wont help stop 'running'

Bananas & apples have hardening effect too -
also increace fresh fruits/ veggies
