Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Could you please ask if a baby with diarrhea can eat eggs?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I cannot eat it.Eggs are high in protein. Due to a decrease in the secretion of digestive fluids and a decline in the activity of digestive enzymes, the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrates in the body becomes disrupted. This also affects intestinal peristalsis and the inherent assimilation function of food. The small intestine's ability to reabsorb water and nutrients is impaired, leading to the excretion of a large amount of nutrients through the digestive tract. During this period, not only does it fail to nourish the body, but it can also further worsen the condition. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat eggs during diarrhea. It is best to consume easily digestible foods. Eggs are hard foods, and a child's gastrointestinal system is not doing well at this time, so it is best to eat them in moderation.
