Question

After experiencing diarrhea, children may show poor mental state, weight loss, and decreased appetite. During this period, what types of food are more appropriate for them?

Answer

During a child’s diarrhea, it is advisable to avoid greasy foods as they not only affect the child’s appetite but may also have a negative impact on the recovery from diarrhea. Suggested foods include bananas or porridge, especially millet porridge, which is easy to digest and has a positive effect on alleviating diarrhea.
