Patient's question:
My daughter is two and a half months old. Recently, she often passes gas and it's very loud. Sometimes her stomach makes gurgling noises, and her bowel movements are a bit undigested. Is it possible that the excessive gas is caused by poor digestion? Will taking Bifidobacterium triple live powder help?Doctor's answer:
When the gastrointestinal flora ferments abnormally, it manifests as indigestion, increased bowel sounds, and increased frequency of defecation. Children have high nutritional needs and rapid growth and development, which leads to faster digestion, thereby increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, poor digestion in children is a physiological phenomenon. With proper care during daily life, it should not be a problem. Normal defecation frequency is 8-15 times per day. Some oral medications that aid digestion can be used.
