Question
A 2-year-old baby has recently been suffering from diarrhea and has a fondness for crabs. I would like to ask, can a baby with diarrhea eat crab?
Answer
Crabs are cold in nature and salty in taste, making them unsuitable for people with weak spleen and stomach, loose stools, and occasional abdominal pain. Therefore, it is not recommended to give the baby crabs if she is experiencing nausea or vomiting. It is appropriate to give her some fish in moderation. If the baby has diarrhea, it is suggested to take oral Simo Decoction Liquid to aid digestion and enhance gastrointestinal function and growth development. Simo Decoction Liquid is made from four medicinal herbs: Mosla, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, Atractylodes, and Areca Nut. It has the effects of harmonizing the gastrointestinal system and promoting the flow of Qi and removing stagnation. While it comprehensively evaluates and nourishes gastrointestinal function, it also enhances digestive fluid secretion and strengthens the gastrointestinal motility rhythm, alleviating gastrointestinal dysfunction in infants and young children.
