With the introduction of complementary foods, the baby may have difficulty digesting food. Mom may notice that the child is not digested food. In this case, it can be concluded that he has features of the functioning of the entire gastrointestinal tract, as a result of which there is a non-digestion of food in the child.
What should I do if the child does not have enough food to digest?
If, for a long period of time, the child does not eat well, he has a stool with undigested pieces of food, this is a prerequisite for the development of serious diseases of the digestive system. In this case, you need to immediately contact the gastroenterologist for accurate diagnosis and selection of the optimal method of treatment.
Only according to the results of diagnosis the doctor will be able to conclude about the state of the development of the gastrointestinal tract and the appropriateness of medical intervention. If the food is poorly digested in a child under one year of age, then in some cases it can be just a feature of the body, if it does not cause discomfort to the baby, it is also active, has a good appetite and has good blood tests and coprological results.
However, if the child's food is not digested, then this may be the result of having a dysbiosis . In this case, the doctor may prescribe a course of prebiotics (linex, acipol, bifidumbacterin).
An early transfer of a child to a common table can also contribute to digestion disorders, since "adult" food for a child's body is still quite heavy.
When correcting the baby's nutrition in accordance with the age (frayed food, boiled vegetables, sour-milk products), it is possible to improve the general condition of the body and normalize the stool. However, despite visible improvements, it is necessary to pass a feces on scatology, sowing on the intestinal group to determine the cause of dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract.
