What should I do if my baby has a bad stomach and is prone to diarrhea?

Some babies may be healthy while others may be prone to illness due to gastrointestinal issues. To regulate the baby's fragile stomach and intestines that are not yet fully developed, you should choose appropriate stomach-strengthening and antidiarrheal foods. When using medication, you should also consult a doctor and consider the dosage. All medicines are poisonous. To regulate your baby's stomach and intestines, it is best to use the therapeutic effects of food. For example, foods that can stop diarrhea, such as apples, carrots, and scorched rice porridge, can absorb various pathogenic bacteria in the intestines and can also make the stool firm, which has a good antidiarrheal effect. There are also foods that can strengthen the stomach and help digestion, such as hawthorn and millet porridge, which are all suitable for babies.

1. Take carrot soup, 2-3 times a day, 2-3 tablespoons each time; take applesauce (take an apple, wash, peel and core it, cut it into small pieces, put it in a bowl, add a small amount of sugar, steam it, and after steaming, mash it into a paste and take it).

Because carrots and apples contain pectin, they can form stools and absorb harmful substances in the intestines, helping to cure diarrhea.

2. Add fish protein powder to rice soup and take 5 grams per day, divided into 1-2 times. Babies over six months old can take fish protein powder porridge or soft noodles. Because fish protein powder has high protein quality, low fat content, and no lactose, it is particularly beneficial for infants with diarrhea. Mild diarrhea usually recovers within 3-5 days of taking the medicine.

3. Scorched rice soup and scorched rice porridge are made by cooking rice or rice flour with water and can be fed in small amounts and multiple times. Because rice contains carbohydrates, it is easiest to digest and absorb. It does not contain lactose and is not easily fermented or causes bloating. The protein contained in rice does not cause allergic reactions. The charred part can absorb harmful substances and is very beneficial for controlling diarrhea.

If you have a bad stomach, you need to pay attention to many things, such as whether the frequently touched tableware and the baby's hands are cleaned regularly. Because babies like to put their hands in their mouths, but they also like to touch everywhere, they may bring bacteria into their mouths and cause illness. Therefore, things that babies often touch should be cleaned regularly to reduce bacterial infection.
