How should children with acute gastroenteritis adjust their diet?

Patient's question:

My child got a cold a few weeks ago, took medicine for a while, and is almost better now. But I don't know if it was because of something they ate or a health issue, as they suddenly started vomiting, having stomach pain, and diarrhea, with watery stools.

Doctor's answer:

Due to the pathological and physiological changes in the gastrointestinal tract, especially the intestines, the intestines are very sensitive to food at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to a restricted diet. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat light, soft, and warm foods, while avoiding early consumption of fatty meats, fried foods (fried foods), cold, hard foods, as well as high-fiber foods.
