Home Remedies?

Okay, so we are going on day 5 of this illness with Kyle and today for some reason he seems to be worse. He has loose bowels but no other symptoms. I've changed him 3 times in the past hour and his poor little bottom is starting to hurt. So if you have any home remedies out there please let me know. His "dinner" consisted of saltines, cheerios, applesauce and one bite of rice. Now he's into the Club crackers because he's so hungry. He is such a picky eater that it's hard for me to stick to the bananas, rice, applesauce, toast diet. He doesn't seem to be dehydrated which surprises me, but he's been really good about drinking gatorade and water.

I'm sitting here at home while Katie and Derek are swimming at the neighbors. Boo hoo.
