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.
