Most mothers know that biliary dyskinesia in children is quite common, but not all parents understand the causes of this symptom complex.
To begin with, you need to know what kind of disease. Dyskinesia is a violation of the motor and evacuation function of an organ. In other words, a malfunction in one of the body systems.
Colon dyskinesia is a change in the movement of feces in the colon, resulting in constipation or diarrhea. As for the gallbladder, a violation of the evacuation of bile from it can lead to more serious consequences than constipation or diarrhea.
Biliary dyskinesia in children can occur even at a very young age. This is due to the structural features of the child's body. The gall bladder is not yet sufficiently developed, bile also has an incomplete composition. However, it must be understood that dyskinesia occurs in very young children only through the fault of the parents (as a result of improper feeding). After all, when a baby eats breast milk, the process of splitting nutrients occurs normally. But when the child is fed too early or fed with non-adapted mixtures, and even worse with cow or goat milk, then the problems begin.
Some anomalies in the development of the bile-forming system also provoke the formation of a violation of the outflow of bile. As a result, biliary dyskinesia occurs in young children, which, with proper feeding, can be asymptomatic for a long time. And during the introduction of complementary foods or the transition of the child to general nutrition, symptoms of the disease may occur.
The main manifestation of dyskinesia of any localization can be called pain and dyspeptic symptoms. Pain usually occurs after eating food. It can be localized and generalized. At the very beginning of the disease, pain occurs in the right hypochondrium, and then can spread to the epigastric region and abdomen.
Diagnosis of this disease is based on clinical complaints and the results of a coprogram in which undigested dietary fiber and an admixture of bile are determined. Ultrasound only confirms the diagnosis.
Today, retrograde cholangiography is widely used as a method for studying the biliary tract and bladder.
FGDS research is most often carried out with a differential purpose, in order to exclude another pathology. For a child diagnosed with biliary dyskinesia, a diet will be one of the best treatments. In some situations, this is enough so that the disease no longer bothers your child. Parents need to explain to the child that proper nutrition is a way of life, and life without disease.
The first step should be the daily routine. The child should receive writing at the same time daily. Thus, it will be possible to "accustom" the gall bladder to secrete bile in equal portions at a time.
Food should be sparing, i.e. not too cold and not too hot. It is unacceptable to use chips, crackers, carbonated drinks, chewing gum and other "children's joys."
You can allow your child a few slices of natural chocolate as a dessert. But it is best to give preference to fruits and cottage cheese goodies.
It is necessary to consume soups daily, but on vegetable and non-rich broths. Fatty, fried and salty foods are harmful even for an adult organism, not to mention children's.
Include more cereals, steamed dishes and mashed soups in the daily diet of the household - this will help digestion and biliary dyskinesia in children will weaken their manifestation.
