Managing Cosmocol Regime during Tummy Upset

Just wondering what the advice is for managing ongoing maintenance dose when experiencing tummy bug (high temp/loose stools)? Do you stop cosmocol and restart later, or keep going? Reduce dose?

Last time my 3.5 yo had a mild tummy bug we stopped for a day, but then she had a painful large poo (backed up) a couple days later. I know from my own experience that constipation can occur following a bout of diarrhoea as the tummy readjusts.

So my thinking is that we continue the cosmocol but it somehow doesn’t feel right to provide it during periods where she is unwell and when stools are so loose anyway. So we have reduced the dose as a compromise but I’m worried she will take steps backwards - is this inevitable?

Any experience and advise on this please.
