We explored the relationship between vitamin D levels and acute invasive enteritis in young children, a condition often marked by severe diarrhea. Our study involved 82 children, aged 1 to 3 years, diagnosed with enteritis, and a control group of 80 healthy peers.
We found that children suffering from this condition had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to the healthy group. Specifically, the average serum level of 25-OHD in the enteritis group was around 27.95 ng/mL, while the controls had an average of 32.76 ng/mL.
The study revealed that many of the children with enteritis also had lower rates of outdoor activity and less frequent vitamin D supplementation. Among those affected, nearly 20% had vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL, highlighting a concerning trend.
Interestingly, our analysis suggested that regular vitamin D intake, more outdoor time, and exclusive breastfeeding could help decrease the risk of invasive enteritis. These findings encourage us to consider vitamin D’s protective role in intestinal health and the importance of ensuring adequate vitamin D levels in children.

The relationship between vitamin D deficiency and childhood diarrhea is an important area of research. In our review and meta-analysis, we examined a collection of studies to see how low levels of vitamin D might impact instances of diarrhea, particularly in children living in developing countries.
We sifted through thousands of articles and selected those that fit our criteria, ultimately narrowing it down to 12 for a detailed review, with 7 studies suitable for meta-analysis. The findings revealed a notable association: children with vitamin D deficiency had a higher chance of experiencing diarrhea, with an odds ratio of 1.79, suggesting that they were nearly 80% more likely to suffer from this condition.
However, when it came to secondary outcomes—like the duration of diarrhea or recurrence of episodes—we found conflicting information. This indicates that while there is a clear connection between vitamin D deficiency and the occurrence of diarrhea, the exact impact on the severity or recurrences still needs further exploration.
Overall, the results strongly suggest that addressing vitamin D deficiency could be a vital factor in managing diarrhea in children, though more studies are necessary to clarify how effective vitamin D treatments can be in changing these outcomes.

Quick remedy for nausea, diarrhoea, tummy ache, or even flu-like symptoms! This strain of bacteria is particularly beneficial for children experiencing nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or flu-like symptoms. With just a couple of doses, noticeable improvement occurs! It works best when taken on an empty stomach a few minutes before food or drink. The taste is acceptable, even for babies. I can assure you of its quality, as its effects are quite quick. Within 2-3 days of use (as often as needed), my child improved. I once used it on my elderly mother, who had severe gastroenteritis; after one dose, she ceased vomiting. Continuing to take it every few hours helps balance gut bacteria.

Effective for babies
This bottle is rather effective in treating diarrhoea in babies. A baby with acute gastroenteritis recovered well after taking this product. Although the price is somewhat high, taking advantage of a sale to stock up on a few more bottles is advisable. It has a very smooth texture.
