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. 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 to help infants with constipation who cannot pass stool.Doctor's answer:
The fundamental cause of constipation is the inability to pass stool, which is due to an imbalance in gut microbiota, leading to intestinal mucosal damage. It is recommended to consume probiotics. Probiotics have no side effects on the human body and help to moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movement by regulating 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. Consuming foods rich in B vitamins and those that moisturize the intestines, such as whole grains, beans, tremella, and honey, is also beneficial. When cooking, add an appropriate amount of edible oil.
