Fermentation dyspepsia in children( babies)

1 Causes of

Dyspepsia or indigestion most often occurs due to excessive intake of carbohydrates, namely:

• fruit containing a large number of coarse plant fibers;
• vegetables containing a large amount of starch and fiber;
• sweet berries containing a large amount of organic acids;
• green peas and dairy corn;
• flour products;
• sweet fizzy drinks;
• milk;
• kvass;
• honey.

With the simultaneous ingestion of an excessive quantity of sugars and fiber in the child, the motor function of the intestinal walls increases, as a result of which the enzymes of the pancreas do not have time to process all the carbohydrates. Because of this, the cecum starts fermentation processes. When fermenting poorly digested food, a large amount of gases and organic acids are released, which further stimulate the motility of the gastrointestinal tract and increase the secretion of the intestinal secretion.

At the beginning of a pathological process, gases cause discomfort in the abdomen. Then, the secretion of large intestinal secretions provokes diarrhea. Diarrhea, in turn, leads to dehydration of the body.

With prolonged presence in the gastrointestinal tract of fermentation products in a highly acidic environment, there is a rapid growth of the intestinal microflora, including conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, which produce toxic substances for humans. With dehydration, the period of excretion of toxins from the body slows down, because of this there is a general intoxication.

In newborn infants, indigestion often occurs due to an inadequately formed digestive system. Pancreas crumbs in the first weeks of life often simply does not produce the necessary amount of digestive enzymes. That's why it's important not to overfeed babies.

2 Therapeutic measures

Treatment of dyspepsia, not complicated by intoxication, is performed at home under the supervision of a pediatrician.

Because the disease most often occurs due to overeating, the most important role in the treatment of indigestion in children is diet.

When the first symptoms of dyspepsia are given to infants, dill water is prescribed, the incidence of breastfeeding decreases 2-3 times, and the lure is canceled before the symptoms disappear. In the event of vomiting, fever, or severe dehydration, hospitalization occurs. In the hospital if necessary, patients are assigned:

• antibiotics;
• adsorbents;
• antacids;
• pancreatic enzymes;
• prokinetics;
• glucose;
• saline solutions.

Excess gases are discharged through the gas pipe.

For children weaned from the chest, with colic and discomfort in the abdomen,

• daily fasting is prescribed;
• adsorbents;
• green tea without sugar.

To stop diarrhea, after unspecified fasting, unsalted, gluten non-dairy rice porridge is prescribed.

After the disappearance of the symptoms of the disease in the diet of the baby light protein products are introduced, in addition, within a week, the use of products containing vegetable fiber and causing fermentation is limited.
