Patient's question:
My doll is only 35 days old and was almost one month before her bowel movements were normal. Once she didn't have a bowel movement for several days, and since then until now, it has been the fourth day without a bowel movement. I would like to know if there are any dietary methods for infant constipation and not being able to have a bowel movement.Doctor's answer:
The fundamental cause of constipation is the inability to pass stool. It is due to an imbalance in the gut microbiota, which leads to intestinal mucosal damage. It is recommended to consume probiotics. Probiotics have no side effects on the human body and help to moisten the intestines and promote bowel movement. They regulate gastrointestinal function through nearby intestinal peristalsis. For the treatment of constipation, it is best to eat vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber and vitamins. Drink plenty of water and beverages. Eat more foods rich in B vitamins and those that moisturize the intestines, such as whole grains, beans, Tremella fuciformis, honey, etc. When cooking, add appropriate amounts of edible oil.
