Subsequently, their emissions can be spaced several days elapse between them. It is normal to do so. It is not constipation and should not be given laxatives.

Its cause is that the digestive process of breast milk leaves very little residue, requiring several days to accumulate enough for disposal stool, stools, on the other hand, remain soft. The lactose is digested in small quantities, reaches the end of digestion without having undergone any alterations, making the stools more fluid because they retain water.

Diarrhea Disease

1. What do we know for Diarrhea?

Diarrhea is not itself a disease but a symptom characterized by an increase in the amount, fluency or frequency of bowel movements.

This results in a decreased absorption of water, nutrients and electrolytes into the intestine, which are lost in the feces, which gives rise to a series of characteristic symptoms such as abdominal pain (spasms or cramps), nausea, vomiting, weakness, chills , fever, loss of appetite or feeling of malaise.

Diarrhea is often an acute process and self-limiting, i.e., lasts one to three days and heals itself, with or without treatment.

Other times it is a chronic process, lasts several days to appear at short intervals. This sometimes is a symptom more serious disease.

When it occurs in children, elderly and is especially important to monitor that they are well hydrated.

There are many causes of diarrhea and generally cause both boxes gastroenteritis.

The most common is due to eating some spoiled food or water contaminated (Traveler’s diarrhea) and cause toxic, bacteria (Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, salmonella, shigella, etc.) or parasites. It can also arise with virus infections.

Partly because drugs (Including antibiotics that alter the intestinal flora) chronic diseases which hinder the absorption of nutrients (celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, etc.) abdominal surgery, stress, Etc.

3. Treatment

Treatment of diarrhea as a symptom is equal to that of gastroenteritis. We must also identify the cause and, as it may be added the most appropriate treatment in each case.

Treatment consists primarily of maintain adequate hydration drinking plenty of fluids and replenish electrolytes that are lost in the stool and vomiting that often accompany diarrhea.

These liquids must be:

- Water: In mild cases, because water alone does not reset the loss of electrolytes

- Juices

- Alkaline Lemonade1 liter of boiled water to let cool, 1 cup lemon juice, 4 tablespoons sugar, 3 / 4 of a teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda. In addition to liquids, provide electrolytes (salts and minerals), and be at room temperature and sips. It must take at least a liter a day.
