Three and a half years old boy Yangyang is the pistachio of the family, but recently Yangyang parents can often frown, the reason is that Yangyang constipation, vegetables also eat water to drink, is not alleviated, and finally can not take Yangyang to the pediatric digestive clinic for help doctors, waiting time with parents to chat only to find that the children who come to the clinic are constipated but account for the majority, Yangyang mother wonders: Is it not diarrhea more likely to occur?
Yangyang mother's doubts are actually not surprising, the mainland Liaoning Shenyang research data show that the incidence of constipation in infants under three years old is 9.2%, the incidence of constipation in children aged 3-5 years in Hong Kong, China is as high as 30%, while 3.3 children in the United Kingdom have a history of constipation, and in the United States in 10 years, the incidence of constipation in children has increased by 1 times (Chinese Journal of Practical Pediatrics 2021 China Integrative Pediatrics, 2012, AdvNutr. 2012, from this set of figures we learned that constipation in children is common around the world.
The data of the digestive clinic of Chongqing Children's Hospital is more telling, among the children in the digestive clinic, functional constipation accounted for 49.04%, followed by infantile difficulty defecation 22.96%, infant reflux 14.00%, functional diarrhea 10.76%, infant colic 2.58% (Chinese Journal of Practical Pediatrics August 2021).
This set of data means that nearly half of infants and young children see a doctor because of constipation, and diarrhea accounts for much less than constipation, which is the opposite of the general idea. In addition to the high incidence, it was also associated with difficult treatment of constipation in children and a high recurrence rate (40%) (AmFam Physician. 2014）
Such a high proportion of patients is directly related to the adverse results that constipation may bring, such as the 2017 World Chinese Journal of Digestion recorded that constipation is not only the pain visible to the naked eye during the stool, dry stool, crying, but also may cause more serious consequences, such as gastrointestinal discomfort and lesions (bloating, abdominal pain, fissure), affect children's intellectual development, affect children's memory, affect children's growth and development, but also remind parents that diarrhea and constipation is more likely to occur in infants and children than diarrhea and children. Attention, positive detection and prevention are needed.
With such a high incidence of constipation worldwide and in groups of children in need of protection, how to prevent and treat constipation in children has become a topic that the medical community has not stopped studying. The North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition recommends that dietary changes, in particular increasing intake of fluid and absorbable and non-absorbable carbohydrates (fiber), be used as a means of softening stools. This recommendation provides parents with scientifically based methods for preventing and solving constipation, especially the intake of fiber, which has a scientifically confirmed and clear effect on the prevention and mitigation of constipation. How to choose more effective and safe fibers for babies has become a new topic for parents to learn.
When choosing fiber for your baby, it's important to pay attention to the following three elements:
1. Safety
Safety is undoubtedly the primary factor in the selection of products for infants, toddlers and children.
2. Effective
Once a group of children develops gut-related problems, they need to be resolved quickly to prevent more serious consequences of procrastination
3. No additives
Infants and children should choose products with simple ingredients and no additives, and eliminate the addition of dextrin, flavors and fragrances
