Once .... long, long ago ..... (our daughter's almost 11!) our pediatrician told us that diarrhea is not really a major problem unless it's 8 times per day or more. We kind of went by that: if she had severe diarrhea (more than 8 times) we'd double her, otherwise not. As with any child with diarrhea, we give lots of extra fluids - especially things like Gatorade - and potassium rich foods, like bananas.
