Three Meal Recipes for Children with Diarrhea

Diarrhea is a very common pediatric disease, and when parents encounter their children with this symptom, they must promptly and effectively treat it. When we treat, we try not to give children medicine but choose food treatment, which is effective and has no toxic side effects, and can be treated in time. So, what should babies eat when they have diarrhea?

1. Scorched rice paste: Take an appropriate amount of millet, grind it into powder, put it in a pot and fry it over low heat until it turns slightly yellow. When eating, add an appropriate amount of water and sugar to the scorched rice paste and cook it into a paste. Take it after it cools down a little, 2 to 3 times a day on average. Scorched rice paste has the function of absorbing corrupt substances in the intestinal cavity, so it has the effect of detoxification and diarrhea.

2. Cooked apples: Apples seem to be the representative of antidiarrhea fruits in people's minds. However, eating fresh fruits raw has a laxative effect, while cooked apples have a good antidiarrhea effect. Take an apple, cut it into small pieces with the skin and core, boil it in warm water for 3 to 5 minutes, and eat it after it is warm. Eat it 2 to 3 times a day, 30 to 50 grams each time.

Apple is an alkaline food, containing pectin and tannic acid, which has the effect of astringency and antidiarrhea. It is worth noting that when eating cooked apples, it is not advisable to add sucrose for seasoning, otherwise it will aggravate diarrhea.

3. Ginger tea (3 grams of green tea and shredded dried ginger, add 150 ml of water and boil, then drink at will) or ginger porridge (5 grams of ginger, 30 grams of rice, add appropriate amount of water to cook porridge, then add a little sugar and salt to eat, twice a day) has the effect of dispelling cold and stopping diarrhea.

4. Yam porridge (60 grams of yam, add 200 ml of water and boil into 100 ml, remove the residue and take it, 2-3 times a day) or yam porridge (500 grams of yam, 250 grams of glutinous rice, add appropriate amount of water to cook porridge and eat it, 2-3 times a day) has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea.

5. Chestnut paste (3-5 chestnuts), peel and mash them, add appropriate amount of water and cook into a paste, then add a little sugar and take it all at once, 2-3 times a day. It has the effect of warming the middle and stopping diarrhea.

The above is a detailed explanation of what babies should eat when they have diarrhea. I believe it will be helpful for everyone to effectively treat diarrhea in children. If the child has symptoms of diarrhea, parents must not panic. They can first treat it with food therapy. If it doesn't work, they must go to the hospital for formal treatment.
