Diarrhea or Teething??

My son just turned 8 months last week. He has not cut any teeth yet. For the last week or so, he has had green runny diapers 2 or 3 times a day.

11 Month Old Has Had Diarrhea for Almost a Week. HELP!

The doctor says not to worry, that the diarrhea just takes a little longer to get over and it can hang on awhile. We are doing as the doctor says and giving him his formula, pedialyte, and baby food; but his condition is breaking my heart! He is acting normally until he "goes," then he starts to whimper because it hurts. Any suggestions, PLEASE?

I'm unable to get him to the Dr. tomorrow, but plan on taking him on Monday. I feel so bad for...
