Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current treatments for diarrhea in infants and young children are limited, with existing compositions showing unstable antidiarrheal effects and inadequate addressing of persistent diarrhea caused by milk protein allergy and lactose intolerance, and there is a need for a safe and effective dietary solution that can alleviate symptoms and improve nutritional status.
Innovation Solution
A dietary composition combining taro with specific ratios of vegetables, meats, fruits, nuts, and cereals, such as carrot, broccoli, rice, and jujube, formulated into a powder or puree, which is safe, non-toxic, and suitable for industrial production, providing a stable antidiarrheal effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If high-fiber fruits and vegetables (such as Chinese cabbage and radishes) are used in the composition, then the laxative effect is enhanced, but the antidiarrheal effect becomes unstable and may aggravate diarrhea in infants and young children
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes high-fiber fruits and vegetables (such as Chinese cabbage and radishes) from the composition that cause diarrhea in infants and young children. By taking out these problematic ingredients while retaining other beneficial components, the composition achieves stable antidiarrheal effect without aggravating diarrhea in vulnerable populations.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If common food materials are used to prepare antidiarrheal drugs, then side effects and adverse reactions are reduced, but the treatment effectiveness for persistent diarrhea caused by severe milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance and inflammatory bowel disease is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite food composition combining multiple carefully selected ingredients including rice, wheat gluten, vegetable oil, and specific fruits and vegetables in optimized proportions. This composite approach maintains the safety of common food materials while achieving enhanced treatment effectiveness for persistent diarrhea caused by milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance, and inflammatory bowel disease through synergistic effects of the combined components.
3Loss of time
If a lactose-free diet is implemented, then the course of diarrhea is shortened in children with acute diarrhea, but the nutritional status may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the nutritional parameters of the diet by optimizing the proportions of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates from safe food sources. The composition provides adequate nutrition while maintaining lactose-free status, thereby shortening the course of diarrhea without compromising nutritional status through balanced macronutrient distribution.

AI summary
Disclosed in the present invention is a composition for treating diarrhea, comprising the following components calculated by weight ratio: Colocasia esculenta and antidiarrheal foods. The composition of the present invention has low cost, available raw materials, is safe and non-toxic, and is suitable for industrial production. The antidiarrheal effect of the product is remarkable. The rehabilitation time for the common diarrhea is 24-48 hours, and for the diarrhea caused by rotavirus is 48-72 hours, and the rehabilitation time is shortened by 2.5 days on average. The effective rate for persistent diarrhea within 5 days is 90.16%. For diarrhea of infants with milk protein allergy during the addition of supplementary feeding, six to eight kinds of foods can be added in one month, and thus the composition is especially suitable for infants and young children.
