Stomach bug question. Please help.

My husband, dad, mom and I all ended up with a very bad stomach bug Monday night. I blame it on the baked spaghetti dish my mom made Sunday but three other people who ate it didn't get sick. DS ate the loose cooked hamburger and got the poops. But he had the poops Saturday before he ate it too. My mom thinks we caught what we did from him. I feel like if he truly had what the rest of us did he'd be in the hospital. I mean it knocked us on our you know what's. It was really really bad. Today he still had the poops but is otherwise fine. No fever. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Do you think I'm under reacting? My mom and dad think I need to take him in and have a stool sample done. I work until next Tuesday and missed work yesterday so it'd be difficult to take him in when I'm not certain anything is wrong. His poops are baby loose but not watery runny. He's usually fairly solid but if all this didn't happen his poops alone wouldn't even make me think twice.

    Is he acting sick or lethargic? If not I personally wouldn't be concerned as it sounds mild but why not just call in to the pedi, seems like most of this stuff the triage nurses can address over the phone and tell you if you need to come in.

    I called the p

    Our massive stomach bug didnt hit LO very hard either.

    He had major poops for days and our pedi told me it was transient milk allergy. His gut cant handle the milk afterwards so it gives him the runs. We switched him to soy for a few weeks and it
