A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

It is not uncommon to gain some weight during menopause due to hormonal changes. To promote weight loss and lessen your symptoms, introduce a balanced diet. Incorporate as many fruits, greens, whole grains, and lean proteins as possible into your diet. And don't forget to refrain from drinking sugary drinks and eating foods high in saturated fats. In addition, water helps keep your body hydrated and exercise is a normal part of every day. This, in turn, can also contribute to keeping a healthy weight and stopping menopause symptoms.

Getting a baby to gain weight is not always safe. However, if you decide to use a baby food syrup, remember that one specifically designed for infants is always safer. The one choice is the multivitamin syrup that pediatricians tend to recommend. It is the one that will be able to help him grow healthy. Be sure to give the treatment at the amount suggested by the label. Be careful because the weight may increase too fast and be unhealthy.

Dr. Babita Goel

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 17th July '24

She cannot digest gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. If she consumes gluten, she may experience stomach pain, rashes, and diarrhea. However, there are plenty of nutritious and tasty foods she can enjoy, such as rice, quinoa, fruits, vegetables, beans, meats, and fish.

Some meal ideas include a rice and vegetable stir fry, a fruit and yogurt parfait for breakfast, or a turkey and vegetable sandwich on gluten-free bread for lunch. Always read labels carefully to ensure products are gluten-free. While starting a gluten-free diet might seem challenging, with time and creativity, she can enjoy a healthy and delicious diet without issues.

Dr. Babita Goel

Dr. Babita Goel

General Physician

Answered on 17th July '24

To help your mom's osteoporosis, eat foods with calcium and Vitamin D, such as milk products, leafy vegetables, and fish. The consumption of such nutrients strengthens bones. Steer clear of caffeinated drinks and alcoholic drinks, as they will harm your bones. Consistent exercise, for example, walking and lifting light weights, can keep a good level of bone health. A healthy diet and sufficient activity are not possible without which our bones will be much weaker.
