Shrimp is a common food in daily life, and due to its high nutritional value, it is often found on the dining tables of many households. However, when choosing food for babies, we cannot simply consider the nutritional value of the food, but also the baby's gastrointestinal condition. Can the baby eat shrimp for diarrhea?
When a baby has diarrhea, it is definitely not advisable to eat shrimp because the protein content in shrimp is too high. In order for these protein nutrients to be fully absorbed and utilized, the stomach and intestines need to secrete a lot of proteases. When babies have diarrhea, the secretion of protease in their intestines is insufficient to digest and absorb the protein nutrients in shrimp. Excessive protein nutrition can burden the gastrointestinal tract and worsen diarrhea.
Moreover, shrimp is a type of raw food that is not suitable for consumption in a state of poor gastrointestinal health. If you eat a lot of shrimp when you have diarrhea, not only will it worsen the symptoms of diarrhea, but it may also bring other side effects to the body. Therefore, when the baby has diarrhea, the mother should try not to let the shrimp appear on the dining table.
In order to make the baby's diarrhea symptoms disappear, Baoma tries her best to give her baby some food that is easy to digest, such as rice soup, porridge, etc. This kind of food is nutritious and easy to digest, which is the most suitable food for diarrhea. You can also give your baby some pumpkin puree or apple puree in moderation, both of which have certain antidiarrheal effects.
