Kaolin

Compatible

Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

White clay which is composed by hydrated aluminum silicate that is used orally as absorbent for the treatment of Acute Gastroenteritis.
Often associated with other antidiarrheal drugs like Pectin.

Given that its bioavailability is zero, which prevents any absorption through the mother's intestine, it is not excreted into breast milk.

Most Acute Gastroenteritis should not receive any medication: just providing a good hydration.

Alternatives

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

Safe, best option.

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.
