&lt;br /&gt;
Persons suffering from [[peripheral neuropathy]] experience [[numbness]] and [[tingling]] in their hands and feet.  This can cause difficulty in walking, climbing stairs and maintaining [[balance]].  Gait abnormality that results from [[chemotherapy]] is generally temporary in nature, though recovery times of six months to a year are common.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Specific abnormalities and examples of causes==&lt;br /&gt;
===Antalgic gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;User favors certain motions to avoid acute pain. [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=671481857]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Physical trauma|Trauma]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Osteoarthritis]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pelvic girdle pain]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Drunken gait/Cerebellar ataxia===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Reeling in a style like that of an intoxicated person. [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=-972685307&amp;amp;linkID=203&amp;amp;cook=yes]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ataxia]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Cerebellar lesion]]s&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Cerebellar degeneration]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Intoxication]]s&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Festinating gait/Parkinsonian gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Patient moves with short, jerky steps. Term derives from Latin &amp;quot;festino&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;to hurry&amp;quot;. [http://www.medfriendly.com/festinatinggait.html] [http://physicaltherapy.about.com/od/abbreviationsandterms/g/Gait.htm] [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=610992140&amp;amp;linkID=206&amp;amp;cook=yes]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Parkinson&#039;s disease]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pigeon gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Torsional abnormalities. [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=1590689848]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hip dysplasia]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Propulsive gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Stiff, with head and neck bent. [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003199.htm] &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Carbon monoxide poisoning]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Parkinson&#039;s disease]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Steppage gait/High stepping gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Toes point down. [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003199.htm] [http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=22477] [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=1966407688&amp;amp;linkID=205&amp;amp;cook=yes]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Polio]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Multiple sclerosis]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Scissor gait===&lt;br /&gt;
Legs flexed slightly at the hips and knees, giving the appearance of crouching, with the knees and thighs hitting or crossing in a scissors-like movement. Often mixed with or accompanied by spastic gait, a stiff, foot-dragging walk caused by one-sided, long-term muscle contraction. Most common in patients with spastic cerebral palsy, usually [[spastic diplegia|diplegic]] and [[spastic paraplegia|paraplegic]] varieties. The individual is forced to walk on [[tiptoe]] unless the [[Tibialis anterior muscle|dorsiflexor]] muscles are released by an orthaepedic surgical procedure. Muscle contractures of the [[adductor]]s result in thighs and knees rubbing together and crossing in a manner analogous to scissors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These features are typical, and usually result in some form and to some degree regardless of the mildness or severity of the spastic CP condition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*rigidity and excessive adduction of the leg in swing&lt;br /&gt;
*plantar flexion of the ankle&lt;br /&gt;
*flexion at the knee&lt;br /&gt;
*adduction and internal rotation at the hip&lt;br /&gt;
*contractures of all spastic muscles&lt;br /&gt;
*complicated assisting movements of the upper limbs when walking [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003199.htm].[http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=-120586227&amp;amp;linkID=208&amp;amp;cook=yes]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*weakness of the [[abductor]] muscles of the lower limb, principally [[gluteus medius]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Waddling/Myopathic gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Walking like a duck. [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003199.htm] [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=147849232&amp;amp;linkID=209&amp;amp;cook=yes] &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pregnancy]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Magnetic gait===&lt;br /&gt;
Feet seem attached to floor as if by a magnet.  In magnetic gait, each step is initiated in a &amp;quot;wresting&amp;quot; motion carrying feet upward and forward.  Magnetic gait can be visualized in terms of a powerful magnet being forcefully pulled from a steel plate.&lt;br /&gt;

Persons suffering from [[peripheral neuropathy]] experience [[numbness]] and [[tingling]] in their hands and feet.  This can cause difficulty in walking, climbing stairs and maintaining [[balance]].  Gait abnormality that results from [[chemotherapy]] is generally temporary in nature, though recovery times of six months to a year are common.&lt;br /&gt;

===Scissor gait===&lt;br /&gt;
Legs flexed slightly at the hips and knees, giving the appearance of crouching, with the knees and thighs hitting or crossing in a scissors-like movement. Often mixed with or accompanied by spastic gait, a stiff, foot-dragging walk caused by one-sided, long-term muscle contraction. Most common in patients with spastic cerebral palsy, usually [[spastic diplegia|diplegic]] and [[spastic paraplegia|paraplegic]] varieties. The individual is forced to walk on [[tiptoe]] unless the [[Tibialis anterior muscle|dorsiflexor]] muscles are released by an orthaepedic surgical procedure. Muscle contractures of the [[adductor]]s result in thighs and knees rubbing together and crossing in a manner analogous to scissors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These features are typical, and usually result in some form and to some degree regardless of the mildness or severity of the spastic CP condition.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Persons suffering from [[peripheral neuropathy]] experience [[numbness]] and [[tingling]] in their hands and feet.  This can cause difficulty in walking, climbing stairs and maintaining [[balance]].  Gait abnormality that results from [[chemotherapy]] is generally temporary in nature, though recovery times of six months to a year are common.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Specific abnormalities and examples of causes==&lt;br /&gt;
===Antalgic gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;User favors certain motions to avoid acute pain. [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=671481857]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Cerebellar lesion]]s&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Cerebellar degeneration]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Intoxication]]s&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Festinating gait/Parkinsonian gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Patient moves with short, jerky steps. Term derives from Latin &amp;quot;festino&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;to hurry&amp;quot;. [http://www.medfriendly.com/festinatinggait.html] [http://physicaltherapy.about.com/od/abbreviationsandterms/g/Gait.htm] [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=610992140&amp;amp;linkID=206&amp;amp;cook=yes]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Hip dysplasia]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Propulsive gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Stiff, with head and neck bent. [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003199.htm] &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Carbon monoxide poisoning]]&lt;br /&gt;

===Steppage gait/High stepping gait===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Toes point down. [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003199.htm] [http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=22477] [http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=1966407688&amp;amp;linkID=205&amp;amp;cook=yes]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Polio]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Multiple sclerosis]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Scissor gait===&lt;br /&gt;
Legs flexed slightly at the hips and knees, giving the appearance of crouching, with the knees and thighs hitting or crossing in a scissors-like movement. Often mixed with or accompanied by spastic gait, a stiff, foot-dragging walk caused by one-sided, long-term muscle contraction. Most common in patients with spastic cerebral palsy, usually [[spastic diplegia|diplegic]] and [[spastic paraplegia|paraplegic]] varieties. The individual is forced to walk on [[tiptoe]] unless the [[Tibialis anterior muscle|dorsiflexor]] muscles are released by an orthaepedic surgical procedure. Muscle contractures of the [[adductor]]s result in thighs and knees rubbing together and crossing in a manner analogous to scissors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These features are typical, and usually result in some form and to some degree regardless of the mildness or severity of the spastic CP condition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* rigidity and excessive adduction of the leg in swing&lt;br /&gt;
* plantar flexion of the ankle&lt;br /&gt;
* flexion at the knee&lt;br /&gt;
* adduction and internal rotation at the hip&lt;br /&gt;
* contractures of all spastic muscles&lt;br /&gt;
* complicated assisting movements of the upper limbs when walking [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003199.htm].[http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=-120586227&amp;amp;linkID=208&amp;amp;cook=yes] &lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lacy Gabbard Crowell 2011 pp. 729–39&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last=Lacy | first=BE | last2=Gabbard | first2=SL | last3=Crowell | first3=MD | title=Pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of bloating: hope, hype, or hot air? | journal=Gastroenterology &amp;amp; hepatology | volume=7 | issue=11 | year=2011 | issn=1554-7914 | pmid=22298969 | pmc=3264926 | pages=729–39}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Malagelada Accarino Azpiroz 2017 pp. 1221–1231&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last=Malagelada | first=Juan R | last2=Accarino | first2=Anna | last3=Azpiroz | first3=Fernando | title=Bloating and Abdominal Distension: Old Misconceptions and Current Knowledge | journal=The American journal of gastroenterology | publisher=Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) | volume=112 | issue=8 | year=2017 | issn=0002-9270 | pmid=28508867 | doi=10.1038/ajg.2017.129 | pages=1221–1231}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lacy Gabbard Crowell 2011 pp. 729–39&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last=Lacy | first=BE | last2=Gabbard | first2=SL | last3=Crowell | first3=MD | title=Pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of bloating: hope, hype, or hot air? | journal=Gastroenterology &amp;amp; hepatology | volume=7 | issue=11 | year=2011 | issn=1554-7914 | pmid=22298969 | pmc=3264926 | pages=729–39}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Malagelada Accarino Azpiroz 2017 pp. 1221–1231&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last=Malagelada | first=Juan R | last2=Accarino | first2=Anna | last3=Azpiroz | first3=Fernando | title=Bloating and Abdominal Distension: Old Misconceptions and Current Knowledge | journal=The American journal of gastroenterology | publisher=Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) | volume=112 | issue=8 | year=2017 | issn=0002-9270 | pmid=28508867 | doi=10.1038/ajg.2017.129 | pages=1221–1231}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lacy Gabbard Crowell 2011 pp. 729–39&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last=Lacy | first=BE | last2=Gabbard | first2=SL | last3=Crowell | first3=MD | title=Pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of bloating: hope, hype, or hot air? | journal=Gastroenterology &amp;amp; hepatology | volume=7 | issue=11 | year=2011 | issn=1554-7914 | pmid=22298969 | pmc=3264926 | pages=729–39}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Use of [[probiotics]] can help reduce [[bloating]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Antidepressants can help to reduce the symptoms of [[IBS]] but the data is unclear over the reduction of bloating.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hypnotherapy]] has been reported to be useful in reducing symptoms of bloating.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bowel training and [[diaphragmatic breathing]] have been useful in the management of [[bloating]] however the data is unclear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Don&#039;ts==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Artificial sweeteners containing [[sorbitol]], [[mannitol]], [[xylitol]] should be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;
*Medications ([[anticholinergics]], [[opiates]], [[calcium channel blockers]], antidepressants) should also be avoided as they have an effect on [[bloating]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Twenty percent of [[carbohydrates]] in baked beans and 7–10% in [[wheat]], oats, potatoes, and corn, and 1% in white rice are not absorbed well in the [[intestine]] and they can produce [[bloating]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lacy Gabbard Crowell 2011 pp. 729–39&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last=Lacy | first=BE | last2=Gabbard | first2=SL | last3=Crowell | first3=MD | title=Pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of bloating: hope, hype, or hot air? | journal=Gastroenterology &amp;amp; hepatology | volume=7 | issue=11 | year=2011 | issn=1554-7914 | pmid=22298969 | pmc=3264926 | pages=729–39}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lacy Gabbard Crowell 2011 pp. 729–39&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last=Lacy | first=BE | last2=Gabbard | first2=SL | last3=Crowell | first3=MD | title=Pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of bloating: hope, hype, or hot air? | journal=Gastroenterology &amp;amp; hepatology | volume=7 | issue=11 | year=2011 | issn=1554-7914 | pmid=22298969 | pmc=3264926 | pages=729–39}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lacy Gabbard Crowell 2011 pp. 729–39&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last=Lacy | first=BE | last2=Gabbard | first2=SL | last3=Crowell | first3=MD | title=Pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of bloating: hope, hype, or hot air? | journal=Gastroenterology &amp;amp; hepatology | volume=7 | issue=11 | year=2011 | issn=1554-7914 | pmid=22298969 | pmc=3264926 | pages=729–39}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*Medications ([[anticholinergics]], [[opiates]], [[calcium channel blockers]], antidepressants) should also be avoided as they have an effect on [[bloating]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Twenty percent of [[carbohydrates]] in baked beans and 7–10% in [[wheat]], oats, potatoes, and corn, and 1% in white rice are not absorbed well in the [[intestine]] and they can produce [[bloating]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Artificial sweeteners containing sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol  should be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bloating]] is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints that is attributed by the patient as the subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess [[gas]]. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as a single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mention the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with [[antispasmodic]] along with [[peppermint oil]] in [[randomized controlled trials]]. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions, [[microbiome]] modulation, and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Bloating is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaint that is attributed by the patient as subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess gas. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastro-intestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mentions the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with antispasmodic along with peppermint oil in randomized controlled trials. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions,microbiome modulation and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Bloating is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaint that is attributed by the patient as subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess gas. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastro-intestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mentions the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with antispasmodic along with peppermint oil in randomized controlled trials. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions,microbiome modulation and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Bloating is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaint that is attributed by the patient as subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess gas. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastro-intestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mentions the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with antispasmodic along with peppermint oil in randomized controlled trials. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions,microbiome modulation and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Bloating is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaint that is attributed by the patient as subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess gas. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastro-intestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mentions the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with antispasmodic along with peppermint oil in randomized controlled trials. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions,microbiome modulation and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Bloating is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaint that is attributed by the patient as subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess gas. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastro-intestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mentions the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with antispasmodic along with peppermint oil in randomized controlled trials. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions,microbiome modulation and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Bloating is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaint that is attributed by the patient as subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess gas. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastro-intestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mentions the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with antispasmodic along with peppermint oil in randomized controlled trials. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions,microbiome modulation and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Bloating is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaint that is attributed by the patient as subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess gas. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastro-intestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mentions the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with antispasmodic along with peppermint oil in randomized controlled trials. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions,microbiome modulation and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of abdominal bloating are numerous and are managed according to the etiology.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Bloating is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaint that is attributed by the patient as subjective sensation of incorrectly perceived excess gas. There are multiple non-functional etiologies of abdominal bloating and distention. Primary functional abdominal distention (FABD) should be diagnosed as single entity and it doesn&#039;t overlap with other functional gastro-intestinal disorders. Rome IV diagnostic criteria mentions the co-existence of mild abdominal pain and/or minor bowel movements. FABD can be treated with antispasmodic along with peppermint oil in randomized controlled trials. A stepwise approach is usually needed that counter the dietary interventions,microbiome modulation and medical therapy in the management of FABD.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the [[Lead|leading]] [[causes]] of [[Prevention|preventable]] death in developing countries, especially among [[children]] under 5 [[Year|years]] of [[age]]. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of [[stools]] such as more than three [[Bowel movement|bowel movements]] each day or the [[Presenting symptom|presence]] of [[loose stools]] comparative to [[normal]] [[stool]] [[Consistency (statistics)|consistency]]. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total and it is [[chronic]] when it lasts longer than three weeks. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of [[pediatric]] [[diarrheal]] [[illness]]. The [[RiskMetrics|risk]] of [[dehydration]] due to [[fluid]] and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] is inversely proportional to the [[child]]&#039;s [[age]] hence, the younger the [[child]], the greater is the [[RiskMetrics|risk]] of [[dehydration]]. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. [[Fluid loss]] due to [[diarrhea]] and [[vomiting]] can be life-threatening if it is as high as three times the [[Circulation|circulating]] [[blood volume]] (80–125–250 mL per [[Kilogram|kg]] [[body weight]] per day). To keep the [[blood volume]] [[constant]], the [[body]] usually [[Extraction|extracts]] [[fluid]] from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. [[Complications]] and [[hospitalization]] due to [[dehydration]] can usually be [[Prevention|prevented]] by the early and adequate [[oral]] administration of a [[rehydration]] [[solution]] ([[glucose]]-[[electrolyte]] [[solution]]) and [[normal]] [[food]] for the [[child]]’s [[age]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the [[Lead|leading]] [[causes]] of [[Prevention|preventable]] death in developing countries, especially among [[children]] under 5 [[Year|years]] of [[age]]. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of [[stools]] such as more than three [[Bowel movement|bowel movements]] each day or the [[Presenting symptom|presence]] of [[loose stools]] comparative to [[normal]] [[stool]] [[Consistency (statistics)|consistency]]. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total and it is [[chronic]] when it lasts longer than three weeks. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of [[pediatric]] [[diarrheal]] [[illness]]. The [[RiskMetrics|risk]] of [[dehydration]] due to [[fluid]] and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] is inversely proportional to the [[child]]&#039;s [[age]] hence, the younger the [[child]], the greater is the [[RiskMetrics|risk]] of [[dehydration]]. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. [[Fluid loss]] due to [[diarrhea]] and [[vomiting]] can be life-threatening if it is as high as three times the [[Circulation|circulating]] [[blood volume]] (80–125–250 mL per [[Kilogram|kg]] [[body weight]] per day). To keep the [[blood volume]] [[constant]], the [[body]] usually [[Extraction|extracts]] [[fluid]] from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. [[Complications]] and [[hospitalization]] due to [[dehydration]] can usually be [[Prevention|prevented]] by the early and adequate [[oral]] administration of a [[rehydration]] [[solution]] ([[glucose]]-[[electrolyte]] [[solution]]) and [[normal]] [[food]] for the [[child]]’s [[age]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in developing countries, especially among children under 5 years of age. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of stools or the presence of looser stools than is normal, like more than three bowel movements each day. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total. When [[diarrhea]] lasts longer than three weeks, it is considered to be [[chronic]]. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of pediatric diarrheal illness. The younger the child, the greater the risk that fluid and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] will lead to dehydration. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. Fluid losses resulting from diarrhea and vomiting can be as high as three times the circulating blood volume (80–125–250 mL per kg body weight per day) and can be life-threatening.  To keep the blood volume constant, the body usually extracts fluid from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. Complications and hospitalization due to dehydration can usually be prevented by the early and adequate oral administration of a [[rehydration]] solution (glucose-electrolyte solution) and normal food for the child’s age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;

*Reassess the patient every 1-2 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
* If [[hydration]] is not improving, give the IV drip more rapidly as follows.  &lt;br /&gt;
*After six hours  (infants)  or three hours  (older patients),  evaluate the patient using the assessment chart. &lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in developing countries, especially among children under 5 years of age. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of stools or the presence of looser stools than is normal, like more than three bowel movements each day. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total. When [[diarrhea]] lasts longer than three weeks, it is considered to be [[chronic]]. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of pediatric diarrheal illness. The younger the child, the greater the risk that fluid and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] will lead to dehydration. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. Fluid losses resulting from diarrhea and vomiting can be as high as three times the circulating blood volume (80–125–250 mL per kg body weight per day) and can be life-threatening.  To keep the blood volume constant, the body usually extracts fluid from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. Complications and hospitalization due to dehydration can usually be prevented by the early and adequate oral administration of a [[rehydration]] solution (glucose-electrolyte solution) and normal food for the child’s age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of diarrhea can range from life-threatening to mild and self resolving causes. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;WHO&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | title=Diarrhoeal disease | website=WHO | url=https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/diarrhoeal-disease#:~:text=There%20are%20three%20clinical%20types,lasts%2014%20days%20or%20longer. | language=af | access-date=2020-12-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*Reassess the patient every 1-2 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
* If [[hydration]] is not improving, give the IV drip more rapidly as follows.  &lt;br /&gt;
*After six hours  (infants)  or three hours  (older patients),  evaluate the patient using the assessment chart. &lt;br /&gt;
 Then choose the appropriate Treatment Plan (A, B or C) to continue treatment. }}&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in developing countries, especially among children under 5 years of age. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of stools or the presence of looser stools than is normal, like more than three bowel movements each day. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total. When [[diarrhea]] lasts longer than three weeks, it is considered to be [[chronic]]. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of pediatric diarrheal illness. The younger the child, the greater the risk that fluid and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] will lead to dehydration. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. Fluid losses resulting from diarrhea and vomiting can be as high as three times the circulating blood volume (80–125–250 mL per kg body weight per day) and can be life-threatening.  To keep the blood volume constant, the body usually extracts fluid from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. Complications and hospitalization due to dehydration can usually be prevented by the early and adequate oral administration of a [[rehydration]] solution (glucose-electrolyte solution) and normal food for the child’s age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;

*Reassess the patient every 1-2 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
* If [[hydration]] is not improving, give the IV drip more rapidly as follows.  &lt;br /&gt;
*After six hours  (infants)  or three hours  (older patients),  evaluate the patient using the assessment chart. &lt;br /&gt;
 Then choose the appropriate Treatment Plan (A, B or C) to continue treatment. }}&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in developing countries, especially among children under 5 years of age. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of stools or the presence of looser stools than is normal, like more than three bowel movements each day. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total. When [[diarrhea]] lasts longer than three weeks, it is considered to be [[chronic]]. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of pediatric diarrheal illness. The younger the child, the greater the risk that fluid and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] will lead to dehydration. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. Fluid losses resulting from diarrhea and vomiting can be as high as three times the circulating blood volume (80–125–250 mL per kg body weight per day) and can be life-threatening.  To keep the blood volume constant, the body usually extracts fluid from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. Complications and hospitalization due to dehydration can usually be prevented by the early and adequate oral administration of a [[rehydration]] solution (glucose-electrolyte solution) and normal food for the child’s age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Causes==&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of diarrhea can range from life-threatening to mild and self resolving causes. &lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in developing countries, especially among children under 5 years of age. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of stools or the presence of looser stools than is normal, like more than three bowel movements each day. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total. When [[diarrhea]] lasts longer than three weeks, it is considered to be [[chronic]]. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of pediatric diarrheal illness. The younger the child, the greater the risk that fluid and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] will lead to dehydration. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. Fluid losses resulting from diarrhea and vomiting can be as high as three times the circulating blood volume (80–125–250 mL per kg body weight per day) and can be life-threatening.  To keep the blood volume constant, the body usually extracts fluid from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. Complications and hospitalization due to dehydration can usually be prevented by the early and adequate oral administration of a [[rehydration]] solution (glucose-electrolyte solution) and normal food for the child’s age.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in developing countries, especially among children under 5 years of age. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of stools or the presence of looser stools than is normal, like more than three bowel movements each day. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total. When [[diarrhea]] lasts longer than three weeks, it is considered to be [[chronic]]. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of pediatric diarrheal illness. The younger the child, the greater the risk that fluid and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] will lead to dehydration. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. Fluid losses resulting from diarrhea and vomiting can be as high as three times the circulating blood volume (80–125–250 mL per kg body weight per day) and can be life-threatening.  To keep the blood volume constant, the body usually extracts fluid from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. Complications and hospitalization due to dehydration can usually be prevented by the early and adequate oral administration of a [[rehydration]] solution (glucose-electrolyte solution) and normal food for the child’s age.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in developing countries, especially among children under 5 years of age. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of stools or the presence of looser stools than is normal, like more than three bowel movements each day. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total. When [[diarrhea]] lasts longer than three weeks, it is considered to be [[chronic]]. [[Hydration]] status plays an important role in the management of pediatric diarrheal illness. The younger the child, the greater the risk that fluid and [[Electrolyte imbalance|electrolyte losses]] will lead to dehydration. The type of [[dehydration]] whether it is [[isotonic]], [[hypotonic]], or [[hypertonic]] is usually independent of the responsible agent. Fluid losses resulting from diarrhea and vomiting can be as high as three times the circulating blood volume (80–125–250 mL per kg body weight per day) and can be life-threatening.  In order to keep the blood volume constant, the body usually extracts fluid from the [[intracellular]] space which can predispose it to [[dehydration]]. Complications and hospitalization due to dehydration can usually be prevented by the early and adequate oral administration of a [[rehydration]] solution (glucose-electrolyte solution) and normal food for the child’s age.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Diarrhea]] remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in developing countries, especially among children under 5 years of age. [[Diarrhea]] is defined as an increase in the number of stools or the presence of looser stools than is normal, like more than three bowel movements each day. [[Acute diarrhea]] is when [[diarrhea]] occurs for less than 3 weeks in total. When [[diarrhea]] lasts longer than three weeks, it is considered to be [[chronic]]. Hydration status plays an important role in the management of pediatric diarrheal illness. The younger the child, the greater the risk that fluid and electrolyte losses will lead to dehydration. The type of dehydration—isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic—is usually independent of the responsible agent. Fluid losses resulting from diarrhea and vomiting can be as high as three times the circulating blood volume (80–125–250 mL per kg body weight per day) and can be life-threatening.  In order to keep the blood volume constant, the body usually extracts fluid from the intracellular space which can predispose it to dehydration. Complications and hospitalization due to dehydration can usually be prevented by the early and adequate oral administration of a rehydration solution (glucose-electrolyte solution) and normal food for the child’s age.&lt;br /&gt;
