Pediatrician Fall River MA, Dr. Ali Tural., informs parents that vomiting and diarrhea, either together or alone, can cause dehydration, and in infants dehydration can occur in less than a day. It is essential to include Pedialyte, to optimize absorption and replace the water that was lost to counteract the dehydration caused by diarrhea, by replacing salts and sugar. To stop diarrhea, parents are encourged to feed infants dry carbohydrates; rice, dry cereal, saltine crackers and toast(without butter). Rice cereal can be mixed with formula as an effective intervention. There are also specific formulas designed to stop diarrhea that are usually soy based. If symptoms and discomfort persist, parents are advised to observe the infant and seek a pediatrician to diagnose the cause of the recurring vomiting/and or diarrhea.
