Diarrhea is the leading cause of malnutrition, affecting the growth of children. Diarrhoea is a global health problem, the economic burden for developing countries.

To shorten the duration of diarrhea, reduce the rate of malnutrition and mortality, the enrichment of water and electrolytes by mouth and reasonable diet plays an important role. Nurturing work promoting early recovery intestinal mucosa, pancreatic function and the production of enzymes in the microvilli charidase disac makes digestive function, nutrient absorption rebounded.
Diarrhea is children starting acute diarrhea, loose stools or splashing, days> 3 times, lasting no longer than 14 days (usually less than 7 days).
