Patient's question:
Baby has bowel movements 5 times a day.. Yellow and watery. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Smecta examination, detailed test results: viral infection. What kind of assistance is needed: Besides congee, what other foods can be eaten.. Can some vitamin C be taken?...Doctor's answer:
Increased intestinal peristalsis, often accompanied by bloating in the intestines, can exacerbate nausea and vomiting, so foods that cause bloating must be avoided. Milk can cause bloating in the intestines after consumption, so it is not advisable to eat it. Legume substances and legume products, such as soybeans, mung beans, green beans, fava beans, tofu, vermicelli, and bean sprouts, should be avoided because they contain rough fiber and rich protein, which can lead to increased intestinal movement, causing bloating and further exacerbating nausea and vomiting.Ginger tea (3 grams of green tea and 3 grams of dried ginger steeped in 150 milliliters of water, boiled, and consumed freely) or ginger congee (5 grams of ginger and 30 grams of pork cooked into congee with an adequate amount of water, then seasoned with a little sugar and salt, consumed twice daily) have the effects of dispelling cold and stopping diarrhea. Carrot juice (250 grams of fresh carrots, washed and chopped, cooked in a pot with 3 grams of fine salt and an appropriate amount of water until tender, then squeezed for juice, consumed in 2-3 servings daily) has the effects of strengthening the spleen, aiding digestion, and stopping diarrhea, making it suitable for spleen deficiency-type diarrhea.
The above suggestions are for the question "What foods should children eat when they have diarrhea?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
