Diarrhea is a very common disease, and many people choose medication when treating it. Of course, children have small bodies and need parental care when experiencing diarrhea. Most children will go to the hospital for professional treatment when they have diarrhea. So do you know that babies can eat eggs when they have diarrhea?
Can babies eat eggs with diarrhea
Due to the reduced secretion of digestive fluids in the body, the activity of digestive enzymes decreases, and the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrates in the body is disrupted. The intestinal peristalsis and intrinsic food assimilation function are affected, and the small intestine's ability to reabsorb water and nutrients is impaired. A large amount of nutrients are excreted from the body through the digestive tract.
During this period, it not only fails to nourish the body, but also further exacerbates the condition. Therefore, during diarrhea, babies should not consume eggs.
What are the precautions for babies when eating eggs
1. Egg whites should not be consumed before the age of half a year
Egg white contains a large amount of albumin molecules. Due to the incomplete digestive system function of infants, this chemical substance can cross the gastrointestinal tract and enter the infant's circulatory system, causing allergic reactions in the infant's body, such as urticaria, eczema, etc.
2. The amount of eggs
Children of different ages have strict requirements for the intake of eggs. Excessive intake can increase the burden on the baby's gastrointestinal tract and cause indigestion. For babies aged one or two, protein intake should be controlled at around 40 grams, which is equivalent to one or a half egg yolks. For younger babies, a quarter to half of an egg yolk is sufficient.
When babies eat eggs, the impact on their digestive system is very significant. If the child's stomach is uncomfortable, do not feed them excessively, as it may not be beneficial to the child's health. Can babies eat eggs while having diarrhea? Under normal circumstances, do not give children eggs to avoid harming their digestive system. Of course, if you need to eat, you also need to consult a doctor's advice.
