Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the foundation of acquired, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the foundation of children's resistance. However, children's spleen is often insufficient, and their spleen and stomach functions are relatively weak. Children are easy to accumulate stagnation, which will further damage the spleen and stomach and damage their resistance. So the most important thing is to regulate their physique and help them accumulate food and digest.
How to judge whether a child has accumulated food?
1, look at the child's tongue coating. Thick, white and even yellow tongue coating can basically judge the accumulation of food.
2. Smell the breath. Let the child gargle after breakfast. If the child's breath is sour and smelly at this time, it is likely that food is piled up.
Professor Xu from the Department of Pediatrics of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine suggested that children should be vegetarian once a week to help digestion. When digesting, use Radix Pseudostellariae to replenish the spleen and stomach.
Food accumulation is generally caused by improper diet, mostly in infants and young children. The main manifestations are abdominal fullness, dry and smelly stool, white and thick tongue coating or restless sleep. If the long-term food accumulation is not alleviated, it will cause malnutrition, which is not conducive to the baby's growth and development.
How to digest food? 1: Correct and scientific diet controls food intake. Try not to let the baby eat too much, and develop the habit of eating less and eating more meals. In addition, the diet should be kept light and don't eat too much, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach.
2. Take your baby outdoors for outdoor sports, which can not only exercise, enhance resistance, but also promote digestion and absorption.
3: Conditioning the stomach If you have time, you can use hawthorn slices, dried tangerine peel, malt, rice sprouts, chicken gizzard-membrane and other stomach-invigorating and digestion-promoting drugs to boil water for your baby to drink. You can also help digestion through massage (specific massage techniques can be searched online)
The topic of baby food accumulation is a cliche. Every family with a baby will face this problem. In the process of baby's growth and development, such problems will also occur. Food accumulation is the most common problem after eating complementary food.
I have also experienced the problem of children accumulating food. When the child is about two and a half years old, he can eat it for a while. He eats complementary food three times a day and drinks a lot of formula milk, up to 1, 200 ml. He eats fruits and snacks as usual, and his stool is normal every day. Suddenly one afternoon, his spirit was obviously different. He doesn't like running and jumping. He doesn't play with toys, so he wants to ask me for a hug. When I looked at it, when I took my temperature, I really had a fever of 38.6. Looking back on the previous situation, I feel that he has accumulated food. In the evening, he stopped the complementary food, only gave him a bedtime milk powder, and gave him complementary food (light vegetable porridge) for the next two days. During the period, the formula powder is supplemented, and fruits and snacks are not eaten. At noon the next day, his fever dropped, and he continued to observe for several days to confirm that the child was fine.
What is food accumulation? The baby eats too much milk or complementary food, resulting in damage to the spleen and stomach, so that milk or food stays in the stomach and intestines, which will lead to long-term malnutrition of the baby and ultimately affect the baby's growth and development.
What are the symptoms of food accumulation? 1, the baby doesn't sleep well. After falling asleep, he keeps tossing and turning, and sometimes he grinds his teeth.
2, the baby doesn't eat well, and suddenly feels that the appetite is getting smaller and the appetite is poor.
3, the baby often says that the stomach hurts and the stomach is uncomfortable; If you don't talk, the baby will cry.
4, the baby's nose is blue on both sides, the tongue coating is white and thick, and there is sour taste in the mouth.
5, the baby's digestive function is not good, easy to abdominal distension, constipation or diarrhea.
6, low immunity, often repeated colds, coughs, and even cause pneumonia.
How should the baby accumulate food and recuperate? 1, reduction method
The baby's normal diet frequency is reduced, the daily complementary food quantity is reduced, and the daily milk quantity is also reduced accordingly. Complementary food should be light, a small amount of warm water should be taken many times, and fruits and snacks should be relatively reduced.
2, massage massage method
3. Diet therapy
Function: regulating spleen and stomach, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production.
Practice: yam100g, rice or millet100g, and appropriate amount of sugar (omitted by the baby). Wash rice or millet, put it in a pot with yam, add some water and cook it into porridge.
Function: opening the chest to benefit qi, invigorating the stomach, relieving the baby's indigestion, which is very effective in relieving abdominal distension.
Practice: white radish 1 root, 50 grams of rice, and appropriate amount of sugar. Wash white radish and rice separately. Slice the radish, cook for 30 minutes first, then add rice (if you don't eat radish, you can take it out and add rice), cook until the rice soup is thick, and then cook it.
4, drug treatment methods
Accumulated food is the name of Chinese medicine, and western medicine has never said it! Some western doctors get annoyed when they hear the word "accumulated food". What accumulated food does not accumulate food! No diagnostic criteria, no treatment!
Different theories, don't worry too much, as long as the child's illness can be cured, don't care about the title.
From the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is reasonable to cause disease by accumulated food.
First of all, the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients to the whole body to maintain the normal operation of the human body are related to the function of the spleen and stomach.
The spleen and stomach are in the middle jiao, and the meridians are mutually collateral, which has an exterior-interior relationship. Spleen governs the transport and transformation of Shui Gu, stomach governs the decline, spleen governs the rise and fall, and completes the digestion, absorption and distribution of diet, which is the source of qi and blood biochemistry and the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Spleen also has the function of regulating blood and controlling the muscles of limbs.
Due to the weakness of the spleen and stomach, improper diet and other reasons, the function of the spleen and stomach decreases, the diet entering the stomach cannot be decomposed, and no or a small amount of nutrients enter the human body, resulting in a series of pathological manifestations, which is called food accumulation.
1. Manifestations of gastric dysfunction: vomiting, belching, hiccups, thick tongue coating, white coating due to cold, yellow coating due to heat and heavy breath.
2. The main manifestations are spleen dysfunction: anorexia, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loose stool, edema, constipation and emaciation.
3. The manifestations of the two, and the symptoms related to other six evils.
In short, food accumulation is actually a series of symptoms caused by spleen and stomach weakness and improper diet.
The function of spleen and stomach is impaired, and nutrients can't nourish the whole body, so all diseases will be born.
First of all, we must protect the child's spleen and stomach function. If you want your child to be safe, you should be hungry and cold. Children's internal organs are delicate, gastrointestinal peristalsis is insufficient, and digestive function is easily damaged. Therefore, infants and young children can only eat seven points full, which is very good for children and is not easy to damage the function of the spleen and stomach.
Secondly, children's self-control ability is poor, some children are not satisfied, and they can only rely on their parents to control them. They can't eat greasy, spicy and cold products, especially children with weak spleen and stomach.
Children suffering from dyspepsia are actually not only children but also adults. There is a saying in traditional medicine that "all diseases begin with food", so what can be done to make children eliminate food accumulation and improve their immunity?
First of all, we should correctly understand children's food accumulation, which is also called "food accumulation". It is the name of a disease syndrome in traditional medicine, which refers to the spleen-stomach disease formed by internal injury of milk, stagnation of middle energizer, accumulation without transformation and stagnation of qi in children. In short, it is a disease of the spleen and stomach caused by excessive food intake or weakness of the spleen and stomach and poor digestive function.
The clinical features are also obvious, such as children suddenly dislike breast milk or other foods, abdominal fullness, persistent belching and sour taste, and obvious solids or constipation in water samples, all of which indicate that children may accumulate food.
Secondly, it is necessary to make clear the reasons for children's food accumulation (1) and milk food accumulation.
Children's daily constitution is normal. If they occasionally accumulate food, there will be many manifestations, such as children's sudden dislike of breast milk or other foods, acid regurgitation or vomiting, abdominal fullness, feeling pain and refusing to be pressed by adults, acid stool or constipation, insomnia at night, stomach fever, palms and soles fever.
2), spleen and stomach weakness
The child has weak spleen and stomach due to physical reasons. The symptoms at this time have two characteristics: one is a long time, and the other is obvious systemic performance.
Children with long-term spleen and stomach weakness are prone to food accumulation. At this time, children are prone to sallow and emaciated body, listlessness and weakness of limbs, all of which are manifestations of long-term indigestion. Similarly, there will be people who don't like to eat. If they eat a little, they will feel full, and they like to press it with their hands. The stool is thin and there are residues that can't digest food.
Third, the solution of children's food accumulation is 1. Children's physique is normal, and occasional food accumulation can be solved by helping children promote food digestion.
For example, children's digestion tablets, appetizing hawthorn pill, Simotang oral liquid and other Chinese patent medicines are taken to help improve children's digestive function.
2, children with long-term spleen and stomach weakness can use spleen to promote their food digestion. For example, taking Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets, Jianpi pills, Kaiwei Jianpi pills and other Chinese patent medicines, combined with massage, can improve the digestive function of the spleen and stomach.
Finally, suggestions to prevent children from accumulating food 1, and pay attention to diet.
Children have poor self-control and are prone to overeating when they meet something they like to eat. Parents need to pay attention to diet control and help their children develop good eating habits. Diet should be regular and quantitative. The food should be digestible and nutritious. Don't eat or eat snacks as little as possible, and correct children's bad habits such as partial eclipse and picky eaters.
2. The complementary food is added orderly and made reasonably.
Children's complementary food must be added gradually, and it is not allowed to add too much or too much at a time. In the process of making complementary food, don't make fried food because of children's preferences, which will make children eat too much oil and cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
3, keep the stool unobstructed
According to the law of children's growth and development, gradually help children develop the habit of defecation every day. By observing the characteristics of defecation, it is convenient to adjust the child's diet and water consumption in time to ensure that the child defecates normally every day.
Children's food accumulation is largely due to improper feeding by parents. Helping children develop good living habits and eating habits can reduce the occurrence of food accumulation in children. When a child's digestive function is normal, his natural immunity will be improved and his body will be healthier.
As long as it is accumulated food, it means that the child is partial to food. If it is a partial eclipse, the constitution is not good and the immunity is not good. Let's start with three meals a day
You can trust me privately if you don't understand!
Children are small, so the body organs are not fully developed. Parents are always worried that their children are hungry, so improper feeding leads to food accumulation and spleen and stomach weakness. The two are mutually causal. This situation should be discussed from two aspects. First, adjust the children's diet, don't eat too much, be sure to feed them according to their needs, and don't let them eat cold drinks, too sweet, too greasy meat and heavy taste, because these will be. The diet is light and easy to digest! The second is to regulate the spleen and stomach: you can regulate the child's spleen and stomach through massage. You can learn some basic skills by yourself, and often do it, that is, regulate your spleen and stomach through diet therapy. Don't take medicine until you are ready. Medicine is cold and hurts your spleen and stomach, but it can't be used as an indicator. You can recuperate your child through diet therapy! You can send me a picture of your tongue, child's problem.
First, you need to adjust your baby's diet. Because children's gastrointestinal system is fragile, we can give them more digestible food with light taste and balanced nutrition.
In normal life, it is very beneficial for children to promote digestion and enhance immunity through exercise.
When children accumulate food, children who don't like taking medicine can go to a professional children's massage center for massage, which is also a good physical therapy.
Once the child has indigestion, it is necessary to take some Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets in time, which can also help digestion to a certain extent.
Many children may be picky about food, they can't control what they like, and they won't eat anything they don't like. Parents must find ways to overcome this situation, and it is necessary to control their children's food intake.
If children often accumulate food, it will easily lead to malnutrition, affect development, and bring all kinds of pain to children, so parents must be able to deal with it in time.
You know, the most important thing to eliminate food accumulation is to control the source, that is, eating habits. Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and the righteousness it produces is to protect our skin from external evils. Changing eating habits is fundamental. If there is food accumulation, you can use fried chicken gizzard-membrane or Jiao Sanxian to solve it!
It is said that children are ill from food accumulation, so what can be done to eliminate food accumulation and improve immunity?
There is a disease called: I think you are ill. In fact, this disease is not that the "patient" feels sick. The patient doesn't feel sick or anything. Is that people think you're sick. This other person refers to family, parents, grandparents and doctors.
For example, parents, grandparents feel that their children are hungry, and they always try their best to pick up vegetables, send meals, send snacks and send fruits to their children in various ways. For fear that their children are hungry, they turn around and feed them everywhere. Over time, children will not want to eat, and anorexia and stagnation will appear.
Isn't the child hungry? Absolutely not hungry. A child's stomach doesn't even have a fist, it's half as big as a fist. How much food can it hold? Not much is enough, that is, adults are full after a few bites. With such a big belly, parents and grandparents always let them eat, and they are also afraid of being hungry. Think about it, such a big belly is always bulging, and the new one goes down before it is digested. The children don't know that they are hungry. Over time, the gastric motility will be exhausted, and some foods will not be digested and will remain. As the saying goes: the disease enters from the mouth. Stagnation is what you eat.
We know the cause of the disease, so we must start with the cause to cure it. The cure for food stagnation is simple: control children's diet, don't let them eat unrestrained, eat food, snacks and fruits. Let the child's stomach have a rest time, let the child's stomach recover its function, and let the child's stomach have time to empty. Otherwise, what medicine you take is a drop in the bucket, which can only be solved temporarily and will happen again soon. The vicious circle will also lead to many diseases, such as gastrointestinal ulcer, anemia, malnutrition and so on. At the same time, this is also the best way to improve children's own immunity.
Drugs can only solve the problem temporarily, and diet should be controlled for a long time to give full play to gastrointestinal function and effectively digest and absorb food. This is the root of solving the problem. Of course, the first thing to overcome is the psychological problems of parents and grandparents. Don't always think that the child is hungry and chase after the ass. You know, if children are not hungry, a little hunger will not destroy them, but also improve their immunity.
