Question

My child seems to have difficulty digesting food, especially after eating the carrot and beef porridge I cooked for him. I often see undigested carrot particles in his stool. How can I improve his gastrointestinal function?

Answer

Generally speaking, if a child is experiencing symptoms of undigested food, it may be a sign of weak intestinal function. It is recommended to give your child probiotics or lactobacillus supplements to regulate the intestinal flora, while also ensuring that their abdomen remains warm. Additionally, gently massaging your child’s abdomen may also be helpful. When massaging, please move in a clockwise direction, with the navel as the center and making circles from left to right. It is suggested to massage for 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, and then continue massaging for another 10 times.
