Question
A 10-month-old baby experienced severe vomiting in the evening after eating a dumpling (without filling) following a slight improvement in diarrhea. The baby vomits after eating or drinking anything. Is this due to indigestion? What else should be considered in terms of diet?
Answer
Patients with functional dyspepsia should avoid spicy and greasy foods and focus on a light diet, including more vegetables and fruits. Probiotics can help regulate intestinal flora, while digestive enzymes can promote digestion and absorption. If the baby’s vomiting contains food that was just eaten, this likely indicates that the vomiting is due to indigestion.
