Call your pharmacist or take her to the ER. The main concern is that she doesn't dehydrate. You need to make sure she is drinking plenty of fluids. She still may have an intestinal bug of some sort and the pharmacist may know but the ER should be able to help the best. I know that the ER isn't always fun or cheap but when it comes to her health, it doesn't matter.
Good luck.

What has she been eating? Also, how old is she?
Before you do anything, I would calm down. Has she been drinking a lot of water? Have you introduced new food into her system? Is she running a fever? Is she easily annoyed?
It may not be "normal" for her, but it may be what her body needs to do right now.
If the doctor isn't in, try speaking to a nurse or call a nurse hotline.
Just keep her hydrated. Until then, just wait it out.

Is she maybe teething? My son starts getting a lot of messy nasty smelling diapers right before a tooth breaks through. All kids are different. Can you maybe call another doctor? My pediatricians office has 6 doctors, so if his actual doctor isn't in, he can see another one if absolutely neccessary.

diareaha has a lot to do with diet. give her more breads, rice , things like that. your main focus when this happens is keeping her hydrated. Jello is a good thing and any thing she wants to drink i would push but mainly water. Sugary stuff will only make it worse and won't necessarily hydrate her. It could be a tinse of food poisoning or perhaps an intestinal infection. at age two ...it could be anything.

it could be the heat giving her diarrhea try bananas to help with tht just don't over do it. also make sure to keep her hydrated (water not juice) try pedia lite too tht might help if it keeps up get her to the doctor

put her on the BRAT diet, Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast and give her lots of yogurt with live cultures in it, yogurt is an excellent cure for diarhea, it helps lessen inflammation in the digestive tract. avoid milk, and give her lots and lots of pedialyte, as much as she will drink.

There could be more teeth coming in.

your question is quite vague how old is your daughter?
