How are infant and young child diarrhea caused

Patient's question:

Health consultation description: How come the child always feels nauseous and vomits? Usually, I just give the child supplementary foods, mostly rice, potatoes, and similar foods, not eating anything strange. I just don't understand why the child is always like this, always feeling nauseous and vomiting? What causes nausea and vomiting?

Doctor's answer:

Immature development of the digestive system: During infancy, the secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes is insufficient, and the activity of digestive enzymes is relatively low. The nervous system's ability to regulate gastrointestinal function is poor, making it difficult to adapt to the quality and quantity of food. Additionally, rapid growth and development lead to a higher demand for nutrients, placing significant pressure on the gastrointestinal tract. The absorption function is often under tension, making it prone to recurring digestive disorders. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
