Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby hasn't known what's wrong with him these last couple of days. He keeps vomiting and having diarrhea. I've given him many medications, but it hasn't helped. I took him to the hospital to see a pediatrician, and they found it was gastroenteritis. The doctor asked me to pay attention to his diet. Can babies with gastroenteritis eat fruits?Doctor's answer:
Babies with acute gastroenteritis should avoid eating fruits, as it may worsen symptoms. The baby's condition requires attention to a light and hygienic diet, preventing the intake of greasy and poorly absorbable foods. It is advisable to eat less raw and cold foods, drink more water, and prevent severe complications such as dehydration. Eat small meals frequently, pay close attention to changes in the condition, appetite, and urine output.
