This is going to sound counter-intuitive.

Is it possible your child is constipated, and it has caused diarrhea? I only ask because DFS has a blockage right now at the top of his colon (so glycerin suppositories do nothing). He is on laxative to help it release. But he has wicked diarrhea! Its been that way for about 2 weeks. We diagnosed it by an x-ray when he was in the ER. He is on Elecare, and no table food.
