What foods are better for children with indigestion?

Children are prone to indigestion symptoms, on the one hand due to poor gastrointestinal function, and on the other hand due to improper diet. When parents discover this, they always tend to feed their children medication. In fact, this is not advisable. The problem should be solved by eating some foods that promote digestion. So what kind of dietary adjustments can be made? Let’s take a look at some of the foods I recommend.

1. Skim milk: Boil the fresh milk and then cool it. When a layer of milk skin appears on the surface of the liquid, remove it with a spoon. Boil it again and cool it down, remove the milk skin. Repeat this process 3 times to get skim milk. It can be used for children with fat indigestion. Semi-skimmed milk is made by removing the milk skin once.

2. Yogurt: Boil the fresh milk, and after it cools down, add 3 to 5 ml of 10% lactic acid to every 100 ml of milk, stirring while adding, and wait until the emulsion forms uniform and fine particles. This is milk. Yogurt is easy to digest, can stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, and has a bactericidal effect. It is suitable for children who often suffer from indigestion.

3. Scorched rice soup: First grind the rice flour or milk cake into powder and fry until browned, add sugar, add appropriate amount of water and boil until it becomes a thin paste. Rice flour becomes a paste when heated with water and is easy to digest. In addition, the surface of the rice becomes partially carbonized when it is fried, which has an adsorbent and antidiarrheal effect.

4. Applesauce: Cut a fresh apple in half and scrape it gently with a metal spoon. Apple fiber is fine, has little irritation to the intestines, is alkaline, contains pectin and tannic acid, and has adsorption and astringent effects.

5. Carrot juice: Wash and chop the carrots, cook them until soft, wrap them in gauze and squeeze them to remove the fibers. Add water and sugar to the squeezed mud to make carrot juice. Carrot juice is an alkaline food that can promote stool formation and absorb bacteria and toxins.

These foods can help relieve the symptoms of indigestion and promote gastrointestinal motility and digestive function to a certain extent. Therefore, when a child has this adverse reaction, the first thing to do is to help regulate it through dietary adjustments. However, if the symptoms are more serious, it is necessary to take relevant drugs to improve gastric motility for treatment in time.
