Other than water, what can I give my daughter that would be a good way of

keeping her from dehydration. She has diarrhea and is now vomiting. Would

ginger tea be good? I'd like her to eat because she is so thin and has had

so many sickness due to many things... It is ridiculous. This is her first

year at school and I know that has a lot to do with it. I try my best to

feed her right.

 

Anyway thanks for input.

If the child is very deficient, even diluted apple juice might be too

cooling for her system.

For most immediate care she needs to have her electrolytes put back

into balance.

 

There's a drink sold in the drug stores specially for doing this in

infants and children. Its been years since I've been in one of those

places and I haven't a clue what the exact ingredients are. I imagine

there are some " artificial " flavorings etc.

 

Perhaps there's a healthier product to be found in health food stores

for rebalancing an infant or child's electrolytes?

 

What my grandmother would have fed us would be salty warm chicken

broth, very simple with no additional flavorings to upset our

stomach.

As the child gains her strength nutritive herbs like seaweeds can

be added.

 

Grandmothers from another culture might suggest a simple miso soup.

There are many varieties of miso. Mugi miso is made of barley,

soybeans, sea salt, water, and a bit of miso bacteria starter. Its a

good one to eat during the winter or during an illness but I imagine the

best miso would be the one you can find.

It depends upon how severely dehydrated they are. If the child

simply doesn't like water, diluted apple juice is a good way to get

fluids into them. About the Miso - I'd be careful feeding a child

soy. The chicken broth sounds like a good approach.

How so?

Allergies?

 

In miso the protease inhibitors of soy have been

dealt with by fermentation.

I agree that fermented soy is better than any other variety. From

what I have been reading, the oriental cultures consume far less soy

than we have heard they do. I've also read that their soy products

are developed differently than from what is available in the U.S.

Most likely even the fermented soy in the miso is genetically

modified. On a small scale, no problem, but if is to be used long-

term to help with dehydration (as a regular substitute for water)

then personally, I would prefer to find another option.
