The use of spoiled, overdue, low-quality food causes food poisoning. Entered with food poisonous substances cause inflammation in the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, which leads to a violation of the composition of the intestinal microflora. These disorders are manifested in the form of symptoms such as intestinal colic, vomiting and diarrhea, it is also possible to increase the temperature.
What can be given after poisoning? Nothing, as long as there is a "cleansing" of the body. The stomach needs to rest and recover after such an unpleasant disease, and do not waste energy on digesting food. But the drink should be abundant. For example, it can be unsweetened green tea.
After the symptoms of poisoning decrease or even completely pass, the body itself will give a signal that it is ready to start eating. You need to start with easily digestible dishes that are prepared with a liquid or semi-liquid consistency, and then, when the condition improves, you can switch to normal nutrition.
So, for example, vegetables and cereals should be cooked until they are not boiled and they will be easy to wipe. But meat, poultry and fish are recommended to be consumed only in the form of a souffle. The optimal and less labor-intensive option is the use of ready-made, purchased meat and vegetable canned food for baby food, as they are suitable for all the above parameters.
It is recommended to eat small portions, but at least six times a day. Such a meal will quickly restore the intestine. In no case should you be forced to take food. If there is no appetite, then the body is not yet ready to eat.
To fill the needs of the body in lost vitamins, as well as mineral substances, it is desirable to drink a vitamin complex containing vitamins B, C and A, thus improving metabolic processes and increasing the body's resistance.
When preparing dishes for a sick child, it is necessary to take into account that the amount of edible fats is limited and fed only to the prepared dish, in pure form, to exclude (for example, a sandwich with butter).
There should not be a high carbohydrate component in the diet, especially in the acute period of the illness, while maintaining a high temperature and not stopping vomiting, as it intensifies the fermentation processes in the intestinal tract.
The optimal product for babies is mother's milk. Older children already transferred to basic foodstuffs are first introduced to rice or buckwheat porridge in milk, diluted in half with water, after a few days it is possible to add a tablespoon of baby cottage cheese, then you can start eating vegetable purees and drinking fruit juices. For older children, when improving the general condition, you can add vegetable purees, half of egg yolks to the porridges, and in a few days you can switch to vegetable soups and low-fat meat products.
After the illness, such a sparing diet should be followed for 1-3 weeks, naturally, watching and regulating the diet, based on the general condition of the patient, his appetite and the quality of the stool. To prepare dishes from this menu, it is recommended to follow the following recommendations: all dishes are steamed or boiled, and the consistency of these dishes must first be liquid (semi-liquid). Necessarily, the food should be warm and not contain foods that irritate the gastric mucosa (excludes spicy and acidic sauces, additives and spices, fresh black bread, raw vegetables and fruits, millet and pearl barley, juices).
In conclusion, it may be recalled once again that in order to prevent such an unpleasant disease as food poisoning, one should not forget about elementary rules and hygiene rules.
