Treatment for Chronic Diarrhea in Toddlers

If your toddler is consuming foods that are high in carbohydrate content and low fat, then he/she may be at a risk from chronic diarrhea. Manipulating your toddler’s diet is an effective method of treating chronic diarrhea in toddlers. Since it is not easy to detect any direct like between food and the diarrhea symptoms of your toddler, you must give him/her foods that are easy on the stomach and that help control diarrhea. You should reduce your child’s intake of carbohydrates and increase fat consumption. Including foods that are high in fiber in your child’s diet will help regulate chronic diarrhea. Breads, fruit, cereals and beans are high in fiber and will help treat chronic diarrhea.

Bananas are an effective way to cure chronic diarrhea in toddlers. Bananas help bind the stomach and will help curb diarrhea. Reduce your toddler’s consumption of juice as this frequently causes chronic diarrhea in toddlers.

You can perhaps try to change the kind of juice your toddler drinks. Excessive sweet in the juice your toddler drinks may lead to chronic diarrhea.

Try switching apple juice with orange juice as orange juice has more pulp and fiber than apple juice. More significantly, orange juice contains less sugar and this is good for binding the stomach. You can also try to remove lactose and lactose containing foods from your toddler’s diet to prevent chronic diarrhea. If your toddler’s chronic diarrhea does not respond to this, then you can put him/her back on the lactose. You can substitute, for instance, milk with soy milk to help treat loose stools. If your child’s diarrhea does not respond to any of these measures, consult a doctor immediately.
