is milk good in diarrhoea?

Answer 1

Food for Diarrhoea patients - Milk is not good as the lactose contents is the sugar commonly found in cow’s milk based formulas will not control loose motion. For breast feeding babies however it can be continued, since it is their main food. Others can have food as under-

High energy foods such as fats, yogurt and cereals are quite well absorbed during diarrhoea. Small, frequent feeds of energy-rich local foods familiar to the child should be given. A little vegetable oil can be added to foods such as millet or rice to increase the energy content.
Foods high in potassium are important to restore the body's essential stores depleted during diarrhoea. Such foods include lentils, bananas, mangoes, pineapples, pawpaw and citrus fruits.

Certain foods should be avoided during diarrhoea, for example those containing a lot of fibre such as coarse fruits and vegetables, whole grain cereals and spicy foods.
It is very important to continue feeding a person with diarrhoea. Give soft, easy-to-digest foods, like khichri, watery dal, idlis, curd, bananas etc.

You should also give plenty of other fluids, like lemonade], rice kanji, lassi, coconut water, weak tea etc. If the baby is being breast-fed, continue to give her mother's milk.

Give an extra meal a day, after the diarrhoea stops, to help the body get strong again-.

Not having tried it, I wouldn't be the one to ask about this.

If you have diarrhea, I wouldn't be drinking much milk until it settles down. There are things in milk that build mucous and upset the gut if it is not working right to begin with.

Answer 4

No, but probiotic yogurts (e.g. Yakult) are good, because they replace the intestinal flora that the diarrhoea has flushed out. Use sparingly though, and drink lots and lots of water.

Answer 5

Milk or any dairy product should be avoided when you have diarrhea.
