Question
With chronic diarrhea, will fasting make the intestines worse? He used to eat milk exclusively and had bowel movements twice a day. The stools were initially stringy with a yellowish color, but now they are more granular with a few pieces of milk curd?
Answer
Never eat eggs and milk when you have diarrhea; it will only make it worse! You can eat easily digestible foods like congee and noodles instead. Don’t give the child meat; wait until they are completely recovered before eating. Indigestion is often due to the child eating too much that doesn’t digest well. In the future, if the child eats too much, it’s best to give them some children’s digestive aid tablets to prevent diarrhea and fever.
