A member asked:

When should infants go back to normal diet after recovering fm dierehea viral, bacterial , or amoebic? is it when stool firms up again.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: Regardless of cause of Diarrhoea the decision to start regular food depends if there is associated fever,nausea &,vomiting. In the vast number of cases I find only Diarrhoea with minimal discomfort. Therefore I usually advise that the child be given normal foods in smaller amounts more frequently. It has been found that normal food leads to less nutritional imbalance & quicker healing.
