Taking care of your family is a full-time job. Unexpected things can happen at any time. Some of the most common problems are stomach issues. Whether they’re babies or teenagers, here are some natural home remedies to relieve all kinds of stomach issues.
Note, if diarrhea persists over 24 or 48 hours, you must take the child to an urgent care cent or laboratory to get a culture. There is a very vicious strain of E. coli that can be deadly in children.
Again, if nausea and vomiting persists over 24 hours, one should go to the urgent care center.
Also tell your children not to “hold it in” as it may lead to fecal impactions. Also avoid harsh laxatives.
It is best to avoid things high in sugar as they will be metabolized by the bacteria in the colon and turned into gas. These include “white” foods like white rice, white bread, and white pasta. Also avoid using straws and chewing gum as it may cause them to swallow air.
