بكتين

Compatible

Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

A polysaccharide which is extracted from plant cell walls (citrus, apple).
With properties such as emulsifier, stabilizer and adsorbent.
Used as adsorbent intestinal with other compounds (kaolin) in the treatment of diarrhea.

Given its zero bioavailability, which prevents intestinal absorption, it is not excreted in breast milk.
Regarded as a prebiotic, it is part of some breast milk substitutes formulas.

Most gastroenteritis do not require medication: just a good hydration.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for بكتين since it is relatively safe.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.

José María Paricio, founder of e-lactancia.
