Ever since the kids all had the stomach flu we have had some challenges with Munchkin. She has had an average of 7 poopy diapers a day. Plus she is really gassy and is waking up SEVERAL times every night crying and then goes back to sleep in anywhere from 1 to 20 minutes later after the gas has passed. Needless to say, we haven't had much sleep lately.
I finally made the connection that she may have a temporary lactose intolerance. I did some research and as of yesterday we have eliminated all milk from her diet for a week. She only had one poopy diaper yesterday and slept great last night. Now I just need to figure out when to re-introduce dairy back in her diet. From what I have read, I need to wait a week and then start with cottage cheese and active culture yogurt. Hopefully this will solve the issue and we won't have any long term impacts.

Another thing you may want to try is giving her some acidophilus. I always give some to my kids when they are having problems with digestion and/or when they come off a round of antibiotics. You can get it in powder form at the health food store (the place on Colley carries brands just for kids) and just mix it in w/some juice.
