Patient's question:
My child has been experiencing nausea and vomiting recently. Since I am still breastfeeding, I would like to know what foods I can consume to help alleviate my child's diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Actually, when a baby has diarrhea, it is advisable to reduce breastfeeding as much as possible to prevent overeating and excessive bowel movements. However, the mother can eat apples, either raw or cooked, to help the baby stop diarrhea. In addition, foods that protect the gastrointestinal tract and regulate the intestinal flora, such as yogurt, can be beneficial because they contain lactic acid bacteria, which help maintain intestinal balance. Other options include rice water, protein powder, and carrots. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
