Keeping a healthy diet

Some pediatricians advise parents not to use Brat scheme for two reasons. One of them is a theme the children on the diet are not the food that they need. It is a valid concern if the parents of the child in the diet more than one or two days.

In addition, there is no scientific evidence to show the Brat diet helps people from diarrhea or other diseases of the stomach faster than any other. As it is not proven, there is no real reason for medical use. Keep the child in their normal diet, as the child takes the food and the situation is obliged to bottom, is an entirely acceptable.

Probably the best choice is to the child in the daily diet first, but the Brat diet into account. The simple, bland, the taste may be familiar with what the doctor is when a child feels not good if the diarrhea or the flu.

Work up to Brat

Nausea nutritional needs even simpler than the regime Brat. When the toasted bread and rice does not stay down, try the rest of the stomach full for a few hours. And start with the thin liquids such as water, soda with ginger, broth, or a sports drink mixed with water. Swallowing rather too small, so larger swallowing.

Once the liquid is well tolerated (not to induce vomiting), try using individual Brat slow or other food, feed pale. If liquids still vomiting, consult a doctor. The drainage is dangerous, especially in children. May they need to go to the hospital, where intravenous fluids can be?

Food

Some foods may diarrhea worse. As sugar by the digestive, which attracts more water and makes the chair runnier.

Drinks for athletes, for example, can be interesting, if you have nausea, because the flavor and contain electrolytes that your body needs. But most drinks for athletes are too heavy on the sugar. They must be diluted with at least the same amount of water will be offered before a person with diarrhea.

* Drinks with caffeine, as diuretics (for the cause increased urination). Maintains moistened is important if you are ill, especially with diarrhea. Drinks containing caffeine are not really the dehydration, but not so effective the moisture no drinks with caffeine. Caffeine also acts as a laxative, and not what you want, if you have diarrhea!
* The milk and dairy products, but only if they seem to diarrhea worse. Some people are sensitive to lactose in the milk, which can cause diarrhea. Others have this issue not for everyone.

If you call the doctor

The Brat diet is mild to moderate cases of diarrhea and nausea, not because of a serious illness. Reasons to medical care include:

* The signs of dehydration. It is especially not to urinate (young children must be at least once in eight hours), crying without tears, and with a dry mouth research or the low-lying eyes. Drainage, especially in young children is a basic, head of the emergency room.
* Diarrhea will not disappear. Diarrhea to improve, it should in a few days.
* Blood in the stool. A bloody diarrhea is a reason to call a doctor.
