Constipation in children is a common disease that endangers their health. If toxins in the body cannot be cleared quickly, children's health will be threatened. So why do children often suffer from constipation?
There are many reasons for constipation in children, and the nature of their stool is closely related to the food they usually eat. If they always eat high protein foods and the carbohydrates and dietary fiber in the food are insufficient, the gut microbiota will change, and the substances in the intestine will ferment and decrease. In this way, it is easy to make stool alkaline and very dry, which may lead to constipation. This may be because parents do not pay attention to their children's diet, and children are always picky eaters, which may lead to intestinal problems and constipation.
In addition to being picky about food, children who enjoy snacking may also experience constipation. If a baby's spleen and stomach are weak, it may also lead to constipation. The main manifestations of this situation may be the accumulation of food in the baby's gastrointestinal tract, loss of appetite, and susceptibility to internal heat. If constipation is caused by excessive internal heat, parents can give their baby some food or medicine to reduce the heat, but if they want to completely treat it, they must regulate the baby's spleen and stomach function. After the root cause is resolved, the baby's constipation will gradually recover. At the same time, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in daily life.
In summary, children often suffer from constipation. Firstly, it is necessary to develop good eating habits, such as consuming more green vegetables, fresh fruits, and coarse grains rich in dietary fiber. This can promote gastrointestinal motility and alleviate constipation symptoms. In addition, children should participate in appropriate physical exercise, which can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve constipation. Children with severe constipation need to go to the hospital for further examination and active treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
