Question
Hi doctor, I would like to ask about my 8-month-old baby who has a bit of diarrhea, about three to four times a day. I’ve heard that giving the baby cooked apples can relieve the symptoms. Does eating cooked apples really work? After eating cooked apples, my baby has a bowel movement once a day, but if we don’t eat cooked apples for two days, the stool is a bit loose again. Does cooked apple have the effect of adjusting the gastrointestinal system or something else???? Thank you!
Answer
I’m glad to help clarify this for you. Based on your description, cooked apples or roasted apples indeed have the effect of adjusting the gastrointestinal system! It is recommended to take probiotics to adjust the gastrointestinal system and pay attention to diet, keeping it light and soft, and avoiding extremely cold foods. The above suggestions are for the question “Hi doctor, I would like to ask about my 8-month-old baby who has a bit of diarrhea, about three to four times a day,” and I hope they can be helpful to you. Wishing your baby good health!
