Dr. Zhao Haiming
Children with gastroenteritis should eat light meals and focus on easily digestible foods, such as steamed buns, noodles, red rice porridge, millet porridge, and plain steamed bread. For vegetables, they can consume fiber-rich options like lettuce, spinach, celery, wood ear mushrooms, and pork liver. They may also moderately eat fruits such as bananas, apples, cherries, and dragon fruit.
