Bananos (plátanos) y el malestar estomacal - Overview

Nombres alternativos

Dieta BRAT

Información:

Los bananos (plátanos) son parte de la dieta BRAT, una dieta que muchos médicos y enfermeras recomiendan para niños que se están recuperando de problemas gastrointestinales, particularmente diarrea. La sigla BRAT representa los distintos componentes (por su nombre en inglés) que integran la dieta:

  • Bananos
  • Cereal de arroz
  • Compota de manzana
  • Tostadas

Estos son alimentos compactadores que pueden ayudar a endurecer las deposiciones. NO le dé estos alimentos a bebés pequeños, a menos que el médico lo indique.

Los bananos (plátanos) y otros alimentos sólidos generalmente no se recomiendan para una persona que está vomitando enérgicamente. Siga una dieta líquida absoluta en ese momento. Una vez que usted o su hijo estén listos para comenzar a ingerir alimentos sólidos de nuevo, es mejor comenzar con alimentos suaves, como los bananos, al igual que:

  • Las sopas claras
  • La tostada seca
  • La gelatina

Los bananos también son ricos en potasio, un electrolito que se puede perder debido al vómito y la diarrea.
