Patient's question:
Cerebral Palsy Issue: Expert My child is now two years old, but he cannot speak and walks in an X shape, struggling to maintain balance. Today, I went to Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital and Guizhou Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a diagnosis, and it was confirmed that he has cerebral palsy. Professor, what should we do now?Doctor's answer:
The diet for children with cerebral palsy should primarily consist of carbohydrates such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, porridge, and pasta. The diet for children with cerebral palsy should avoid excessive consumption of mixed foods, as this may affect eating habits and lead to nutritional disorders. The diet for children with cerebral palsy should include more vegetables and fruits while limiting the intake of fatty meats. Vegetables and fruits contain vitamins and fiber, which can help maintain regular bowel movements. If the child does not eat vegetables, they can be minced and prepared as vegetable and meat buns, vegetable and meat dumplings, vegetable puree, or vegetable soup. It is important to educate children with cerebral palsy to develop a habit of eating vegetables.
