Dietary treatment for diarrhea in infants and young children

Diarrhea is a condition that many people suffer from excessively. Diarrhea has a great impact on the body. The body must be improved in time after diarrhea occurs, otherwise it will cause various problems in the body. Severe diarrhea will cause dehydration and pose a life-threatening threat. So what should be the diet for infants and young children with diarrhea? After infants and young children have diarrhea, their diet must be arranged reasonably, and some food choices cannot be made at will.

Dietary treatment for infant diarrhea:

When encountering diarrhea, many anxious parents will ask this question: The baby has diarrhea, what should I pay attention to in diet? And some elderly people will tell parents, "Diarrhea may be because the baby's gastrointestinal tract is not adapted to milk powder, so don't drink milk during diarrhea, drink porridge instead."

In fact, this statement is one-sided. First of all, even during diarrhea, it is still necessary to ensure that the baby has all the nutrients needed for healthy growth. Stopping milk and feeding porridge will often cause the baby's growth and development to stagnate or even regress. The baby will lose weight every time he has diarrhea, which is not worth it. In particular, diarrhea can lead to the loss of more nutrients, and requires timely and additional supplies.

Secondly, the statement that the baby's gastrointestinal tract is not adapted to infant formula and causes diarrhea is only half true. There are actually many reasons why healthy babies may suffer from diarrhea: sudden changes in climate, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and bacterial/viral infections may all be causes of diarrhea and cannot be attributed to formula milk. But at the same time, diarrhea can make some babies intolerant to the lactose in infant formula, which is commonly known as "inadaptability", making it difficult to improve diarrhea symptoms or even worse. This gives people the impression that formula milk cannot be consumed during diarrhea.

Through the understanding of the dietary conditioning methods for infants and young children with diarrhea, when infants and young children have diarrhea, they should follow the above methods to improve the condition, and also pay attention to the diet. Do not feed infants and young children too much. It is best to eat an appropriate amount, which is beneficial to the body's digestion and is also very helpful for improving diarrhea problems.
