Patient's question:
Born with poor digestion, later the doctor recommended switching to Nestle Gold Ready-to-Use Hydrolyzed Protein Formula, which improved things a bit. However, occasionally there are one or two episodes of loose, unformed stools. Now at 6 months, after introducing complementary foods (milk and rice powder), the bowel movements have started to worsen again—twice a day, unformed, loose, and pasty. What should I do?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The baby improved after taking Mamikai (a probiotic). Desired assistance: Please help resolve this issue. I’ve been hesitant to introduce complementary foods because the baby doesn’t drink much milk, and all routine tests at the hospital barely meet the standards, though the weight is insufficient.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your baby's condition has been clearly diagnosed as indigestion. Indigestion is often caused by overeating, uncontrolled diet, excessively greasy bowel movements, and a lack of intestinal flora in young children. Generally, symptoms of indigestion in children will gradually stabilize after supplementary foods are provided.Advice: It is recommended that you give your baby oral Baohe Pills and Luesheng tablets. During this period, provide your baby with easily digestible supplementary foods such as liver paste, egg yolk, rice powder, and vegetable porridge, but eat in small amounts and multiple meals to prevent overeating and uncontrolled diet, which may worsen indigestion. Properly digest calcium and vitamins to help improve the condition. I hope my explanation will be helpful to you!
