Although sweet potatoes are a common ingredient, they are nutritious and delicious. They can be used to grill, steam, or make sweet potato porridge, all of which are good ways to eat. Many people like to eat sweet potatoes in their daily lives, so can a baby with diarrhea eat sweet potatoes?
Sweet potatoes are also known as sweet potatoes. It is not recommended for babies to eat sweet potatoes during diarrhea, mainly because sweet potatoes contain rich pectin and dietary fiber components, and these substances are not easily digested after consumption. They can not only stimulate the secretion of digestive fluids, but also accelerate intestinal peristalsis, which will make the symptoms of diarrhea more severe. Therefore, eating sweet potatoes during this period is not conducive to the treatment and regulation of diarrhea in babies.
In addition, sweet potatoes have a high starch content, which can easily accumulate in the digestive tract after consumption, producing a large amount of gas and causing digestive problems such as bloating and acid reflux. Therefore, eating sweet potatoes during this period can lead to worsening diarrhea due to this reason.
The baby's diet during diarrhea should be provided with light liquid food that is well digested and absorbed, such as millet porridge, rice paste, Rice noodles, boiled fine noodles, etc., which can increase nutrition and timely supplement the water lost during diarrhea. In addition, if the baby has severe diarrhea, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, as some cases of diarrhea are caused by viral or bacterial enteritis and require targeted medication for a better cure.
