Gastroenteritis (Stomach Flu) (for Parents)

What Is Gastroenteritis?

Gastroenteritis, often called the stomach flu, is a common illness that causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and belly cramps. It usually lasts a few days and isn't serious. Most kids get better at home by resting and drinking plenty of liquids.

What Causes Gastroenteritis?

Gastroenteritis (gass-troh-en-teh-RYE-tis) happens when germs (viruses, bacteria, or parasites) infect the stomach or intestines, causing inflammation.

In kids, viruses are the most common cause of gastroenteritis. Rotavirus causes many cases of stomach flu in children, but the rotavirus vaccine can help prevent them.

Many of the germs that cause gastroenteritis spread easily. So someone can get sick if they:

Touch something contaminated and then touch food or their mouth.
Share food or drinks with someone who is sick.
Live with someone who’s infected, even if that person isn’t sick.

What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Gastroenteritis?

The most common signs of gastroenteritis are vomiting and diarrhea. Many children also have a fever.

When kids have diarrhea or vomiting, they lose lots of fluid in their poop or vomit. This can lead to dehydration (not having enough water in the body). If that happens, the body can have trouble working as it should.

How Is Gastroenteritis Diagnosed?

Doctors usually can tell if someone has stomach flu by hearing about the symptoms. Usually, no tests are needed. If a child is very sick or has blood or mucus in the poop, doctors might order a stool (poop) test, urine (pee) test, or blood test to check for dehydration and to see what’s causing it.

How Is Gastroenteritis Treated?

There is no specific treatment for gastroenteritis, and most kids can be treated at home. Keep your child hydrated by offering plenty of liquids. Kids with more severe dehydration may need treatment in the ER or hospital.

Mild dehydration is treated with oral (by mouth) rehydration. This usually includes giving oral rehydration solution (such as Pedialyte, Enfalyte, or a store brand). It has the right amounts of water, sugar, and salt to help with dehydration. You can buy it without a prescription at drugstores or supermarkets. If you can’t get oral rehydration solution, talk to your doctor.

If your child has mild dehydration and your doctor says it’s OK to start treatment at home:

Give your child an oral electrolyte solution as often as possible. If your child throws up, start with small sips, about 1 or 2 teaspoons every few minutes.
Babies can continue to breastfeed or take formula as long as they are not throwing up repeatedly.
Don't give babies plain water instead of oral rehydration solution. It doesn't have the right nutrients for babies with dehydration.
Older children can have frozen electrolyte popsicles.
Do not give your child full-strength juice (undiluted), soda, or sports drinks. These have a lot of sugar, which can make diarrhea worse.

When your child stops vomiting, you can offer small amounts of solid foods, such as toast, crackers, rice, or mashed potatoes. Yogurt, fruits, vegetables, and lean meat, like chicken, are also OK.

A child who isn’t throwing up can eat a regular diet, if they feel up to it. It may take time for them to feel like eating. There's no need to avoid dairy unless it makes the vomiting or diarrhea worse. Avoid fatty foods, which can make diarrhea worse.

To help your child feel better, let your child rest as needed. You can give medicine for fever or pain, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen (do not give ibuprofen to babies under 6 months old), if your doctor says it’s OK. Follow the package directions for how much medicine to give and how often. Don't give aspirin to your child or teen. It's linked to a rare but serious illness called Reye syndrome.

Don't give medicines for diarrhea or vomiting unless your doctor tells you to.

Keep your child out of school or childcare until 24 hours without vomiting or fever and diarrhea has improved. Your child also should stay out of swimming pools until all symptoms have stopped.

When Should I Call the Doctor?

Call the doctor if your child:

can’t drink for several hours
is peeing less often (more than 4–6 hours for babies and 6-8 hours for older children)
has signs of dehydration, such as crying with few or no tears, having a dry mouth or cracked lips, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, acting very sleepy or less alert
has a high fever
has blood in their poop or vomit
is vomiting for more than 24 hours or the diarrhea doesn’t get better after several days

Can Gastroenteritis Be Prevented?

Germs that cause gastroenteritis are contagious. The best way to avoid the illness is to keep the germs from spreading:

Teach all family members to wash their hands well and often. They should wash for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. This is especially important after using the bathroom and before preparing or eating food.
Clean tabletops, doorknobs, and other surfaces that get touched a lot with a cleaner that kills viruses.
Follow food safety guidelines to prevent bacteria and viruses from getting into food and drinks (food poisoning).
Make sure your kids get all recommended immunizations on time.

Symptoms and Treatment for Stomach Flu

What causes vomiting and diarrhea?
Vomiting (throwing up) and diarrhea (frequent, watery bowel movements) can be caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites. Foods that are hard to digest (such as too many sweets) and undercooked (still partially raw) meat or fish can also cause vomiting and diarrhea.

Can vomiting and diarrhea be dangerous for children?
Vomiting and diarrhea can be harmful because they can cause dehydration. Dehydration occurs when you lose too much fluid. Young children can become dehydrated quickly, but dehydration can occur at any age.

Stomach flu and dehydration

How can I prevent dehydration?
If your baby or child has had several bouts of vomiting or diarrhea, he or she will need to replace lost fluids and electrolytes.

If you are breastfeeding, continue to give your baby breastmilk. Breastmilk has fluids and electrolytes needed to prevent dehydration. Your doctor may also want you to give your baby an oral rehydration solution (ORS).

If you feed your baby formula, try switching to one that is lactose free while your baby is sick. Lactose can make diarrhea worse. Your doctor may also suggest switching from formula to an ORS for 12 to 24 hours, and then switching back.

For toddlers and young children, use an ORS, which contains the right mix of salt, sugar, potassium and other nutrients to help replace lost body fluids. Children older than 1 year may also have clear soups, clear sodas or juice mixed with water to help prevent dehydration. You should avoid giving your child plain water and dark sodas. Water alone does not contain enough salt and nutrients to help with dehydration. Dark sodas are typically very high in sugar and can irritate your child’s stomach.

Signs of dehydration

Little or lack of urine, or urine that is darker than usual
Urinating less frequently than usual (fewer than 6 wet diapers a day for infants and 8 hours or more without urinating for children)
Thirst (babies may show thirst by crying, being irritable and eager to drink when something is offered)
Irritability
Not eating as well as usual
Weight loss
Dry mouth
No tears when crying
In babies who are younger than 18 months old, sunken soft spots on the top of their heads
Skin that isn’t as springy or elastic as usual
Sleepiness

What is an ORS?

An oral rehydration solution, or ORS, is a great way to replace fluids and nutrients lost through vomiting and diarrhea. An ORS is safe for babies and older children. An ORS can come in several forms, including a powder that you mix with water, a liquid that is already mixed and as frozen popsicle

Brands of ORS include Pedialyte, Ricelyte, Rehydralyte and the World Health Organization’s Oral Rehydration Solution (WHO-ORS). You can purchase these at most grocery stores and drugstores. If you don’t have access to store-bought ORS, you can mix 8 teaspoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt in a quart (4 cups) of water. This mixture lacks potassium but is otherwise a good ORS. You can supply some potassium by adding a cup of orange juice to your homemade ORS or feeding your child some banana.

If your child is vomiting, try giving him or her small amounts of an ORS often, such as 1 teaspoonful every minute. When your child is able to keep the drink down, slowly increase how much you give.

If your child keeps vomiting, wait 30 to 60 minutes after the last time he or she vomited, and then give him or her a few sips of an ORS. Small amounts every few minutes may stay down better than a large amount all at once.

When your child stops vomiting, you may increase how much of the ORS you give each time and add clear broths or clear sodas. Remember, small amounts are less likely to upset your child’s stomach.

If your child has diarrhea and isn’t vomiting, give him or her an ORS and other liquids. Your doctor may ask you to keep track of how much your child drinks. You can use a dropper, a spoon or a measuring cup to help you keep track.

Should I feed my child when he or she has diarrhea?

Yes. Older children should begin eating within 12 to 24 hours after starting to take an ORS. Avoid foods with a lot of sugar and fat, such as ice cream, gelatin, pudding and fried foods. These may irritate your child’s stomach and digestive tract. It’s best to avoid dairy products for 3 to 7 days.

Your doctor may recommend that you give your child bland foods for the first 24 hours. Bland foods include bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, saltine crackers and unsweetened cereals. If your child does well with these foods, you can add other foods over the next 48 hours.

Most children can return to their usual diet about 3 days after the diarrhea stops. If your child has been vomiting, wait 6 hours after the last time he or she vomited before offering food. Try offering small amounts of bland foods. Do not force your child to eat. Your child may not feel very hungry for a few days after vomiting.

Should I give my child medicine to stop diarrhea?

Probably not. Diarrhea usually doesn’t last long. If it’s caused by an infection, diarrhea is a way for the body to get rid of the infection. Giving medicines that stop diarrhea may actually interfere with the body’s efforts to heal. Antibiotics are usually not necessary either. Talk to your family doctor if you think your child needs medicine.

Will my child need to go to the hospital?

Probably not, unless dehydration becomes severe. In this case, your child may need to be given fluids intravenously (through an IV) to replace fluids lost through vomiting or diarrhea. Call your doctor if you notice any of the signs in the box below.
Call your doctor if your child is vomiting or has diarrhea and:

Is younger than 6 months old.
Is older than 6 months old and has a fever higher than 101.4°F.
Has signs of dehydration (see box above).
Has been vomiting longer than 8 hours or is vomiting with great force.
Has blood in his or her stools.
Has blood in his or her vomit.
Has not urinated in 8 hours.
Might have swallowed something that could be poisonous.
Has a stiff neck.
Is listless or unusually sleepy.
Has had abdominal pain for more than 2 hours.

Can I help prevent vomiting and diarrhea in my children?

Vomiting and diarrhea may be caused by foods that are hard for your child to digest (such as sugar or by bacteria in undercooked meat). Make sure your child eats a healthy diet.

Most infections that cause diarrhea are caused by a virus found in feces. Help prevent infection by disposing of dirty diapers properly and by washing your hands after changing a diaper or going to the bathroom. Make sure your child washes his or her hands frequently, especially after going to the bathroom.

Feeding a sick child

Publication date: 12/15/2016 08:22

April 22nd, 2016 Olga.

While the child grows up, he will be ill with various diseases more than once. About 80% is accounted for by SARS. Any disease (we are now talking about the flu, SARS) is characterized by poor health of the child - malaise, cough, runny nose, weakness, and maybe intestinal upset. And all this affects the appetite of the child. If a child has caught a cold, mothers always ask themselves the question: how to feed him properly? Proper nutrition of a sick child will help to quickly cope with the disease.

During an illness, the baby always has a poor appetite. There are physiological reasons for this:

at elevated temperatures, blood circulation in the stomach slows down. because the body sends blood to vital organs: the heart and lungs. The process of digestion and assimilation of food slows down and the child needs less food than usual;
during an illness, the liver actively fights toxins, the products of the vital activity of viruses and the decay of damaged cells, so a large amount of food carries an additional burden;
the toxins themselves poison the body and the child, when he feels bad, not at all before eating;
blocked nose, sore throat, difficult to swallow.

Nutrition should be appropriate for the child's age;
during illness, do not introduce new foods into the diet;
food should be sparing - liquid or semi-liquid;
make small meals if the baby does not want to eat, and the number of feedings can be increased;
if the child refuses to eat, let him drink more fluids (water, compote, fruit drink, rosehip broth).

From the diet during illness should be excluded:

Hard-to-digest foods - fatty meat, whole grain cereals, fresh vegetables and fruits.
Foods harmful to the liver - fatty dairy products, chocolate, vegetable oil, lard, confectionery.
Rough, which can damage the mucous membrane - nuts, seeds, crackers, cookies.

Useful menu

During an illness, a child needs food that is well absorbed by a weakened body. Therefore, chicken broth, vegetable soups, stewed and boiled vegetables are perfect for feeding a child during SARS.

To avoid mechanical irritation of the stomach, choose foods that are low in fiber. What foods are low in fiber? These are potatoes, cauliflower, pumpkin, rice and semolina, animal products.

Potatoes are especially delicate in fiber, so include mashed potatoes in your menu more often. You can cook mashed potatoes with sausage, cheese. Beautifully decorate the dish.

Animal protein must be present in the diet of a sick child, since it is a building material for protective antibodies. They are rich in lean meat - veal, beef, lean pork. For soups, use secondary broths from turkey meat, rabbit, chicken breast.

What else can you feed a child during illness? Yogurt helps out well, especially homemade, with the addition of berries.

Cook porridge for the child: semolina, oatmeal, you can also add berries from jam or defrosted.

A sick child needs vitamins. You can make vitamin drinks from rose hips, berries, cook jelly, dried fruit compote, berry juice. . Such drinks will alleviate the condition of the baby if the throat hurts. But with indigestion, milk should not be given at all.

To increase the appetite of the dish, it is desirable to arrange it beautifully so that the child immediately has a desire to eat it.

Nutrition for a convalescent child

After an acute period of illness, a period of convalescence begins, when the baby is on the mend and nutrition during this period plays an important role. The food of a recovering baby should be rich in energy in order to restore strength, contain minerals and vitamins, the food should be well absorbed.

As soon as the symptoms of the disease subside, do not rush to pounce on a child with enhanced nutrition, it will take a few more days to restore digestion. Continue to follow the diet, adding lean meat and fish, cheese, eggs, boiled vegetables and fruits to it.

Ideal for casseroles, puddings, steamed cutlets, vegetable soups. Introduce fruits and vegetables into the diet and do not forget about sour-milk products that will help restore the disturbed intestinal microflora. Let during this period the food be fractional, the child eat a little. And when the body gets stronger, the child will return to a normal diet.

Choosing tactics

When feeding a sick child, parents should remember that it is impossible to force-feed a child!

We provide a diet with easily digestible products. Some parents find it difficult to feed the baby during illness, he categorically refuses to eat. Psychologists advise not to turn feeding into a circus with musical numbers so that the child eats "well, at least one spoonful. "

If a child refuses to eat once, it will not bring much harm to health. He will not remain hungry, but will ask for something anyway when his appetite wakes up.

And don't scold the baby if he doesn't want to eat. Appetite will be restored.

MOSCOW, December 11 - RIA Novosti. Diet for gastritis provides for a special diet, in which the diet includes foods that are gentle on the gastric mucosa. What you can eat with gastritis with high and low levels of acidity and at the stage of exacerbation of the disease, how to make a menu for a week - in the RIA Novosti material.

What is gastritis?

Gastritis is the general name for a group of acute and chronic diseases associated with inflammation of the gastric mucosa. It is one of the most common ailments of the digestive organs.

October 18, 2021, 12:10

Gastritis: doctors told how to recognize and treat the disease In order for the prescribed therapy to be most effective, it is necessary to correctly determine the form of the pathology.

"There are several classifications of gastritis, since its types differ in terms of causes, time of occurrence and combination with other pathological processes in the body," Regina Shaidullina, a general practitioner, shared with RIA Novosti.

There are four main types of this disease.

24 August 2021, 09:53 Healthy lifestyle

An oncologist told how to distinguish gastritis from stomach cancer in deep ulcers in the absence of favorable conditions for healing. This type of disease most often occurs suddenly, due to trauma or nervous strain. Acute erosive gastritis develops quickly, especially if accompanied by stress. The chronic form is characterized by multiple erosions (harbingers of ulcers) on the gastric mucosa.

Atrophic gastritis

Atrophic gastritis is characterized by a decrease in acid-forming function, a decrease in the number of parietal glands. This form of pathology can lead to atrophy of the stomach tissues with subsequent metaplasia (replacement of differentiated cells of one type by cells of another type) of mucosal areas. This variety is referred to as a precancerous condition: according to the observations of gastroenterologists, in 13% of cases it ends with the development of oncological diseases. Most often, atrophic gastritis is a new stage in the development of a long-term chronic disease.

Lymphocytic gastritis

Lymphocytic gastritis is a rare, little-studied form of stomach disease. Its development is based on immune inflammation, which, without timely high-quality treatment, leads to autoimmune damage to the mucosa and, as a result of changes in the cellular composition, to a precancerous condition. It develops against the background of a pathological disruption of the intestines, in which gluten intolerance is observed.

Hyperplastic gastritis

Hyperplastic gastritis is a rare form of chronic gastric lesion, which is based not on an inflammatory process, but on primary epithelial hyperplasia, that is, excessive growth of tissue cells. This type of gastritis is often characterized by hereditary predisposition. It occurs as a result of malnutrition, with hypovitaminosis (lack of vitamins), metabolic disorders, smoking, chronic intoxication of the body.

Causes of damage to the gastric mucosa

—
Various damaging factors contribute to the occurrence of a gastroenterological disease. The main ones are:
-
Infections. Acute gastritis can be caused by infectious agents such as E. coli, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus, etc.
-
Viruses. Syphilis, tuberculosis, candidiasis - against their background, this disease rarely develops, but there are still cases of stomach damage.
—
Poisoning with sublimate, alkalis, salts of heavy metals and other chemical effects can also cause an acute form of pathology, as aggressive substances enter the stomach.
—
Frequent stressful situations. Imbalance of the nervous system can cause the formation of erosions. It is accompanied by prolonged vasospasm and insufficient blood supply to the mucosa.
—
Uncontrolled intake of medications, including non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs.
—
Unhealthy diet: poor diet, eating disorders, frequent use of spicy, fatty, refined foods, lack of plant fiber, vitamins and other useful substances necessary for the body. All this causes irritation of the gastric mucosa and leads to the appearance of gastritis.

Signs of gastritis

Signs of the development of gastroenterological pathology are the following symptoms:

1
Pain in the left hypochondrium or in the pit of the stomach. Appears or increases after eating, especially after eating spicy, sour, salty, fried foods.
2
Sour or metallic taste accompanied by an unpleasant odour.
3
Bloating, which occurs due to the accumulation of gases in the digestive tract.
4
Nausea, feeling of discomfort and fullness, heaviness in the epigastric region.
5
Burning in retrosternal region. Heartburn most often appears after drinking coffee, chocolate, strong tea, alcoholic beverages, etc. Unpleasant sensations are aggravated by bending over, trying to lie down.

If you have one or more points at the same time, you should immediately contact a general practitioner or gastroenterologist.

Russians warned which drinks should not be consumed on an empty stomach0407

Chronic gastritis involves periods of so-called calm and exacerbation. If at the usual time people with a similar disease are advised to follow a special diet, then at the time of the attack it is necessary to do this. Such a nutrition system implies the absence in the diet of those products that irritate the gastric mucosa. It is necessary to refrain from taking fatty and rough foods, fried, spicy, pickled, very cold or too hot dishes, carbonated drinks and alcohol.

Diet options may differ depending on the form of gastroenterological pathology.

Buckwheat with dried fruits and kefir

Diet for acute gastritis

On the first day with acute gastritis, it is only allowed to refrain from drinking warm food (1.5 - 2 liters per day): semi-sweet tea, water with lemon, rosehip decoction. On the second and third day, you can eat liquid food: various non-hot soups, porridge, mashed potatoes. A little butter, weak tea, jelly, honey are allowed. You can not eat fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as meat broths, use highly carbonated drinks, sour-milk products, bakery and confectionery products. Each dish should be prepared with gentle heat treatment: boiled, baked or steamed.

Low stomach acidity occurs with atrophic varieties of gastritis. In this case, a therapeutic diet should be prescribed immediately after going to the doctor. Food should be consumed slightly warm, without substances irritating the gastric mucosa (for example, hot spices and spices are not allowed), it should be eaten in small portions. You must stop drinking alcohol and smoking. Such a nutrition system is aimed at reducing fermentation processes in the intestines and is prescribed for a long period. Its main feature is that it is recommended to use those foods that are food stimulants for the separation of gastric juice: herring, meat, fish and rich vegetable broths.

Diet for patients with different types of gastritis

Regardless of the type of pathology, the diet for gastritis has general rules:

13
It is important to observe the diet. The entire amount of food consumed per day is divided into 4-5 meals. Portions should be small, the diet itself should be fractional and balanced. Snacking should be avoided, as they provoke excessive secretion of gastric juice and reduce its production during breakfast, lunch and dinner.
2
Food should be chewed thoroughly.
3
Dishes should not be overheated or cooled, the temperature should be comfortable.
4
In order not to eat more than the body needs (which is very important in case of gastritis - overeating leads to irritation and stress on the stomach), while eating, you should not be distracted by reading or watching a movie. It is always worth leaving the table a little hungry, as the feeling of fullness will come only after 15-20 minutes.

Diet for children with gastritis

If a child has gastritis, then there is a special diet for him, slightly different from the option for adults.

The children's menu should be particularly well organized: a stable schedule with set times for each meal. When preparing meals, you should try to use as little food additives, salt and sugar as possible. The diet should be as diverse as possible, include products of animal and vegetable origin, so that the child receives all the necessary components. The diet during an exacerbation for children is more gentle, and it is worth observing it for no more than three to four days, that is, only during an attack.
