What should children with diarrhea eat?

Patient's question:

My baby has been having diarrhea for these few days, and I don't know why it's happening. I'm not sure what to feed her recently, afraid of making a mistake that might not be good for her health. I'm really confused and don't know what to do. Could you please ask the doctor what foods are good for children with diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: Based on the symptoms you described, if the baby has less diarrhea, it is recommended that you can give the baby anti-diarrheal medication, such as Montmorillonite powder, for treatment. Additionally, it is also important to pay attention to making sure the baby drinks more water in daily life, replenish fluids in a timely manner, and avoid dehydration, which can lead to electrolyte disorders. Eat small meals more frequently, avoid eating too much at once, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, and avoid catching a cold or feeling cold.
