Question

Can a baby suffering from diarrhea eat roasted sweet potatoes?

Answer

Diarrhea is a common gastrointestinal disease in infants. When their immune system is weak and their resistance is low, the intestines can easily become infected by viruses or bacteria, leading to diarrhea. During an acute episode of diarrhea in infants, it is generally recommended to have a short period of fasting, usually not exceeding 8 hours. It is suggested to take probiotics and montmorillonite powder, and to use abdominal navel sticker. Since roasted sweet potatoes are prone to causing gas, they may lead to abdominal pain, so it is advised to avoid eating them during diarrhea.
