What should I do if my child has recurrent diarrhea?

Generally speaking, if you encounter a child suffering from repeated diarrhea in life, it will be very uncomfortable, because every parent loves their child, and you will definitely feel uncomfortable when you see your child suffering. So if you encounter a child with diarrhea, you should adjust it in time. But in fact, many parents lack knowledge in this area, so when they encounter problems, they don’t know what to do. This is a very bad phenomenon.

1. Avoid eating high-fiber foods

Most plant fibers can promote intestinal motility. Therefore, when children have diarrhea, they should avoid eating foods high in fiber, such as leafy vegetables, bamboo shoots, melons, whole grains, etc. If it is mild diarrhea, you can choose foods with tender leafy vegetables and less fiber, and the portion should not be too much.

2. Provide staple foods

To provide children with calories, it is advisable to supplement them with rice and other whole grain foods, such as infant nutritional rice noodles, porridge, white toast, etc., but it still depends on the child's age and diarrhea condition. Generally speaking, nutritious rice cereal for infants and young children is easy to digest and can prevent and treat diarrhea in children.

For children who can already chew, they can be fed porridge and bone soup, which can not only replenish calories but also provide lost electrolytes. Older children can snack on white toast with the crust removed.

3. Pay attention to protein intake

It is recommended to choose lean meat, skinless chicken, fish, eggs, tofu and other foods that are less greasy and contain protein. Although the fat content of seafood is very low, if you want to eat it, you must ensure that it is fresh and hygienic to avoid harmful bacteria invading the body due to improper storage after eating, which may cause diarrhea in children again.

4. Children with diarrhea should pay attention to the cooking method. Steaming or boiling should be chosen, and frying or pan-frying, etc., which are difficult to digest, should be avoided.

The above are some conditioning methods for children with recurrent diarrhea. Parents can keep them in mind after reading them. If your child encounters symptoms of recurrent diarrhea, you can condition them in time. This is very beneficial to your child's health, because if the child keeps having diarrhea, it is very bad for the stomach and intestines.
