Can children with diarrhea eat peach gum (peach resin)?

Children with diarrhea can consume small amounts of peach gum. As a traditional Chinese medicine, peach gum has functions such as promoting blood circulation, relieving urinary discomfort, and alleviating dysentery. It contains nutrients like rhamnose, galactose, carbohydrates, and proteins. Moderate consumption can help replenish nutrition without worsening the condition of diarrhea. However, due to its relatively high sugar content, excessive intake of peach gum may exacerbate abdominal bloating; therefore, the quantity consumed should be controlled during episodes of diarrhea. Additionally, in managing the diet of children with diarrhea, it is important to avoid foods high in fat, sugar, and protein, which are difficult to digest and may worsen diarrhea symptoms.
