Question

My baby has enteritis and has been eating noodles for the past few days. Can babies with enteritis eat noodles? Will it be hard to digest?

Answer

Condition Analysis: Hello! Based on your description, your baby can eat noodles. Pay attention to a light diet, low in oil, and appropriately reduce the fiber content in the diet, such as green onions, celery, and garlic sprouts. Use a low-residue diet to minimize the mechanical damage that high fiber content may cause to the colon mucosa. Guidance: It is recommended to cook some millet congee and drink the soup on top; do not eat the millet inside, as it is both nutritious and filling, and this will help your baby recover quickly. You can also steam some apple water for your baby to drink; apple water has astringent properties and can alleviate some of your baby’s diarrhea. Wishing your family good health!
