How to deal with diarrhea in a six-month-old baby who is eating mashed potatoes?

Patient's question:

A six-month-old baby had diarrhea after eating mashed potatoes. Yesterday, she had five bowel movements, so I stopped her solid food and only fed her two spoonfuls of rice porridge. But today, she still had diarrhea—three times at 3 a.m., seven a.m., eleven a.m., and three times in the afternoon, totaling six times. Previously, when she ate rice porridge and then pumpkin, her bowel movements were normal, once a day. But after eating potatoes, she had diarrhea. Could it be an allergy or food poisoning?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described and the clinical symptoms, I believe it should be indigestion. Based on the situation you described and the clinical symptoms, combining the symptoms you mentioned, I suggest paying attention to keeping your stomach warm and avoiding cold exposure, and taking Xiao'er Xingspi Yang'er Granules orally.
