What foods should children with gastroenteritis eat?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xuemei
When children have gastroenteritis, they should eat more light and mild foods such as soy milk, congee, porridge, lean meat, eggs, fish, vegetables, and fruits. These foods are nutritious and can meet the child's nutritional needs. They should also avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods, as these can irritate the stomach and worsen the condition. Additionally, fermented tofu, candies, chocolate, and similar foods should be limited, as they increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and impair digestion. If the child experiences any discomfort, prompt medical attention is necessary.
