To feed a child with diarrhea should be very carefully, many foods should be excluded from the diet, others, on the contrary, lead to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

Since the cause of the indicated indisposition can be a dangerous viral or bacterial infection, you can not make a diet yourself. Determine the diet of the child and the diet can only pediatrician, so calling him when diarrhea occurs is mandatory.
Very often in the acute phase of diarrhea, there is an intoxication of the body, which causes constant nausea and vomiting. At such a time, the child may completely lack appetite, so it is not necessary to feed the child forcibly. But when, after first aid, the baby becomes better, you will need to slowly give him a drink of jelly. During this period it is impossible to give the child products that:
- Produce a laxative effect.
- Stimulates the secretion of bile.
- Intestinal peristalsis.
- Provoke fermentation processes.
With diarrhea, all meals cooked on the basis of whole milk, kefir, fermented baked milk, as well as mushrooms, vegetables with coarse fiber, buttery bread, fatty meat, marinades and smoked sausages fall under the ban. So how to feed a child, can you give him a banana when you return an appetite, or better keep it on porridges cooked on the water?
What should be a diet for a child with diarrhea? On the first day, he does not need to give anything at all, in order to avoid the appearance of signs of dehydration, you need to give a rice decoction, and then allow the child to eat a handful of boiled cereals. On the second day, bananas and apples should not be given, it is important for the sick organism to ensure a sparing regimen, but at the same time it is necessary to ensure the supply of those microelements and components that will speed up the normalization of normal vital activity of the intestine.
Doctors recommend starting to give children with diarrhea not a banana and kefir, but boiled potatoes, stale bread, and preferably rye crunches. Give strength to the child with diarrhea and the following foods: lean beef or lamb, but goose and duck are still under complete prohibition. Fish should be eaten carefully, choose a low-fat variety with dense white meat. All dishes are steamed, served to the child in an exceptionally warm and mashed form. As a drink, it is recommended to drink jelly or not strong tea.

On the third day it is allowed to give the child bananas and apples, it is better to bake the last ones in the oven. And bananas and apples are well absorbed, such fruits compensate for potassium losses with diarrhea, except that only bananas contain fiber soluble in water, a lot in bananas and insulin, which is responsible for the restoration of the microflora of the intestinal tract. A low-fat cottage cheese is allowed, but only small quantities of boiled eggs.
It is important to try to adjust the nutritional regime after diarrhea. Feed your children often, every three hours, in small portions. The volume of a single dose is set individually, you do not need to force the baby to eat, let it eat as much as you want, the return to normal portions should be very gradual. As the patient's condition improves, the diet expands, both bananas and chicken breast appear, but new products can be introduced only under the supervision of the treating doctor.
