Can children with diarrhea drink milk?

Patient's question:

My son has a bit of diarrhea today. He usually drinks milk for breakfast. Can children with diarrhea drink milk?

Doctor's answer:

If you have diarrhea, it is best not to drink milk, especially pure milk. It is also not advisable to consume it on an empty stomach. Please pay attention to this. Milk can stimulate intestinal movement and help alleviate nausea and vomiting. During diarrhea, it is better to eat plenty of porridge, which can protect the intestinal mucosa. A child's nausea and vomiting are often related to diet and improper feeding, so it is recommended to pay attention to their diet.
