The use of enzyme preparations for digestive disorders in children

Healthy digestion is the key to strong immunity, harmonious growth and development from the first minutes of a baby's life. In the first months of life, the digestive system is just being formed, so mothers may experience colic and other problems with the baby's tummy. Digestive problems can also be common during adolescence.


 


HOW THE DIGESTION IS ORDERED IN CHILDREN


The digestion process is a complex, multicomponent mechanism that depends not only on the state of the gastrointestinal tract organs, but also on food habits.


 


The main causes of problems with food digestion in children and adolescents can often be:


- improper nutrition,


- food allergic reactions,


- intestinal infections


- food poisoning.





DIGESTION FOR BABIES


In the first months of life in children, digestive disorders can often occur due to the malfunctioning of enzymes, including the pancreas, which is responsible for the production of special substances - enzymes that help break down and digest food components. This can lead to colic, bloating, undigested food particles in the stool, and baby discomfort.


Allergic reactions with the introduction of complementary foods into the diet can be another cause of digestive disorders in babies. Redness and allergic skin rashes can be accompanied by inflammation in the intestines, leading to the destruction of digestive enzymes, a decrease in their production and, as a result, digestive failure5.


 


Inflammation that occurs in the intestines during food poisoning or intestinal infections can also lead to increased destruction of enzymes, a decrease in their production and, as a result, a violation of the breakdown and absorption of food. Even after defeating the infection itself from the gastrointestinal tract, unpleasant symptoms may persist: bloating, seething, discomfort, stool disturbances (usually diarrhea), etc.


 


Enzyme preparations can be used to treat the unpleasant symptoms associated with a lack of digestive enzymes.


 


The best choice for infants would be digestive enzymes for infants. The preparation contains digestive enzymes identical to those produced by the body
