Does eating persimmons make your farts smell bad?

Nowadays, many parents often give their children some nutritious fruits that can promote intestinal lubrication. At this time, everyone will think of persimmons, which have a very sweet taste and high nutritional value. Eating persimmons helps digestion, promotes absorption, and increases intestinal peristalsis. However, it is also found that many children will have smelly farts after eating persimmons. Does this have anything to do with persimmons?

Why do babies’ farts smell bad?

The gastrointestinal development of infants is not yet complete, and intestinal motility is not coordinated, making them more prone to intestinal bloating and flatulence, and sometimes frequent crying. This phenomenon is medically known as infant colic, which usually occurs 2-3 weeks after the baby is born and usually gradually improves after the baby is 3-4 months old. Parents need to understand this developmental problem in their baby and try to keep their baby in a comfortable position to help them expel gas.

Parents should also be reminded that if babies fart constantly with a sour and smelly gas, it is a sign of indigestion. Parents should reduce the amount of milk their babies eat. They can continue to eat the same complementary foods, but in smaller amounts. Do not add new types of complementary foods and reduce the amount of foods high in protein and fat. You can make the food you eat thinner and eat less gas-causing foods. Once the baby's digestion gradually returns to normal, you can slowly return to the previous amount of milk and complementary food.

If improving the baby's diet is ineffective, parents can let the baby take some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting medicine, or give the baby some probiotics to promote the baby's digestion and absorption of food.

If a baby farts intermittently but there is no bad smell, it is mostly because the baby is hungry, causing the intestines to move faster. At this time, parents should feed the baby in time. If your baby farts and has a lot of feces, it means he has eaten too much starchy food. You should reduce the amount of high-starch food and increase the amount of protein and fat food appropriately to avoid affecting the baby's physical development.
