当您处理腹泻时，这不是野餐。

For a few days, you’re keeled over from cramps, you feel nauseous, you go to the bathroom more often than you want — and your bowels are watery and loose, making for an awful mess.

根据严重程度，治疗腹泻可能就像服用诸如帽蛋白酶的pepto-bismol或imodium之类的非处方药一样容易。但是，对于护理人员的妈妈来说，舒缓腹泻症状可能会有些棘手，因为母乳喂养的妈妈需要小心他们服用的药物。

作为经过时间考验的药物的替代方法，以下是一些自然疗法，可以在母乳喂养时治疗腹泻。

Diarrhea is most commonly caused by a virus infecting the bowel, and normally lasts for two to three days. But diarrhea may also occur because of:

  • allergies to certain foods
  • 药物
  • foods that upset the digestive system
  • 细菌感染或其他类型的感染
  • radiation therapy

When you’re dealing with diarrhea, you may experience bloating and cramps, loose and watery stools, urgency to go to the bathroom, and possibly nausea. Symptoms that accompany severe diarrhea include:

  • weight loss
  • 脱水
  • fever
  • 严重的疼痛
  • 凳子上未消化的食物
  • 血液
  • mucus

如果您有上述任何症状，则应联系医生，尤其是在母乳喂养的情况下。

If you’ve chosen to steer clear of over-the-counter medicines to treat your diarrhea while breast-feeding, try these natural treatments.

Become a BRAT for the Next Few Days

修改饮食是母乳喂养时最简单，最自然的腹泻方法。医生通常会推荐流行的小子饮食，该饮食代表：

  • 香蕉
  • 米（白色）
  • applesauce
  • 吐司

小吃的食物是平淡的食物，对于更多患有腹泻的人来说，通常耐受性且易于消化。该方案的蛋白质较低，脂肪含量低，这使您的消化系统受益。小子饮食纤维也很低，这将有助于您的身体坚固脚凳。

此外，在腹泻的回合期间，香蕉将取代许多维持细胞和电气功能所需的钾。避免糙米，因为纤维含量更高。

BRAT Diet Variations

Some other versions of the popular bland regimen are BRAT-T, which adds tea, or BRAT-Y, which adds yogurt, rich in probiotics. Other semisolid and low-fiber foods that are good to eat include:

  • soda crackers
  • 蛋
  • chicken or turkey without skin
  • 土豆
  • noodles
  • 平滑花生酱
  • 白面包
  • 干酪
  • 鱼
  • 牛油果
  • white beans

You should avoid:

  • greasy foods
  • fatty and fried foods
  • 大多数乳制品
  • 生的蔬菜
  • 原始水果
  • strong spices
  • 全麦面包
  • 全麦谷物

吃酸奶或开菲尔等益生菌食品

某些类型的乳制品适合腹泻和胃部不适。Living bacteria, known as probiotics, found in yogurt and kefir (a fermented milk drink) can replace healthy bacteria normally found in your digestive tract that is lost because of diarrhea.

益生菌含有类似于与系统中发现的细菌的有益细菌相似的活细菌。注意：确保开菲尔或酸奶的糖分低，因为高糖的食物会恶化腹泻症状。

喝舒缓的洋甘菊茶

Chamomile tea is a great way to soothe an upset stomach. The Mediterranean herb is thought to help relieve cramping and inflammation by relaxing the muscles and lining of the intestines. This may make chamomile useful for treating mild to moderate diarrhea, and is a good way to stay hydrated.

尝试一汤匙天然苹果醋醋

尽管没有医学证据，但有人说苹果醋可以帮助阻止腹泻症状，并取代镁和钾。建议每小时服用1汤匙醋，直到腹泻消失。

Stay Hydrated

Of course, when treating any sickness, make sure you drink lots of liquids, like water, broth, and sport drinks. This will help ease symptoms and prevent dehydration. Try to avoid natural diuretics like alcohol and caffeine, including coffee, chocolate, some sodas, and certain teas.

腹泻尤其如此，因为在整个疾病过程中可能会丢失大量液体和营养，并且可能导致严重的并发症。克利夫兰诊所recommends sipping fluids in small amounts throughout the day. If tolerable, increase the amount of fluids to 2 to 3 liters or quarts daily.

Speaking of water, if you’re experiencing rectal discomfort — like itching, pain, or burning — try sitting in a few inches of warm water in the bathtub, and then dry the area by patting it with a soft, clean towel. If need be, you can also apply some hemorrhoid cream or petroleum jelly to the sore area.

腹泻只能持续两到三天。如果您的腹泻症状持续时间比那个时候，或者发烧超过24小时，则应立即与医生交谈。致电医生的其他原因包括您是否经历了脱水的迹象，例如黑暗尿液，快速心率和易怒。严重的腹泻可能标志着更严重的疾病。
