An unlikely use of yogurt

If you have a child that is 12 months or older, you have probably already had an experience with what happens when a child gets diarrhea.  If you are anything like me, you probably called your mother or mother-in-law to ask her what to do and how to handle the now hourly diaper or underwear blowouts. After it went on for about 36 hours, I got nervous and called Kel's doctor. After the nurse listened to my explanation of the situation, she told me to go ( or better yet, get someone else to go) get some Pedialyte, Gatorade, and Activia Yogurt. The third one took me off guard. I double checked to make sure we were talking about the same stuff. Yep, that new-ish yogurt that Jamie Lee Curtis has the really cheesy commercials for can help plug your little one up like, well, a block of cheese. And it worked! Between the yogurt, (which Keldrie has always loved), Pedialyte, and lots of snuggles and kisses, she was doing better in no time! So not only does that stuff keep you, uh, regular, if you are 'slow' it can help if your system is working too 'fast'.
