Despite advances in the understanding of disease pathogenesis and treatment, diarrhea remains the primary cause of death among children around the world. Nutrition plays a significant role in treating diarrheal diseases. Malnourished children who have infectious diarrhea are at great risk of developing prolonged and more severe symptoms. The objective of this study was to review the effects of oral nutritional supplements on children with diarrhea. A systematic search for information was conducted using specific keywords in several databases. The results showed that oral food supplements are effective in reducing the symptoms of diarrhea, and the success rate with some formulations reached 100%. The rate of success and failure of formulas of oral nutritional supplements is dependent on the ingredients and foods used: Supplements high in zinc and fiber, as well as the foods yogurt and lactose-free milk, had the greatest impact on the success rate. Oral nutritional supplements are an effective way to reduce the duration and symptoms of diarrhea and can be used to treat diarrhea.
尽管在疾病发病机制和治疗的理解方面取得了进展，但腹泻仍然是全球儿童死亡的主要原因。营养在治疗腹泻疾病中起着重要作用。患有感染性腹泻的营养不良儿童极易出现长期且更严重的症状。本研究的目的是回顾口服营养补充剂对腹泻儿童的影响。使用特定关键词在多个数据库中进行了系统的信息检索。结果表明，口服食物补充剂在减轻腹泻症状方面是有效的，一些配方的成功率达到了100%。口服营养补充剂配方的成功率和失败率取决于所使用的成分和食物：富含锌和纤维的补充剂，以及酸奶和无乳糖牛奶等食物，对成功率的影响最大。口服营养补充剂是缩短腹泻持续时间和减轻腹泻症状的有效方法，可用于治疗腹泻。
