Patient's question:
My baby is over a week old. Recently, for some unknown reason, she has developed diarrhea. She is currently being treated, and the doctor has recommended paying more attention to her diet. I would like to ask if the baby can eat eggs when she has diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: When a baby has diarrhea, it is recommended not to eat eggs, as most cases of diarrhea in babies are caused by gastrointestinal issues. Eggs are high in nutrition but can be difficult to digest. If a baby eats eggs, it not only fails to provide nourishment but may worsen the diarrhea. It is advisable to keep the diet light and simple, and the child can be given some millet porridge.
