Abstract (English):	Nutritional management is an important aspect of the treatment of children with acute diarrhea. It has been shown that fasting, malnutrition, and alteration of the intestinal microbiota, decrease: intestinal mass, enzyme activity and cell turnover rate. The fundamental objectives are directed to avoid further deterioration of the health and the progression of the disease towards chronicity. Benefits of continuation of feeding during diarrhoea, coupled with oral rehydration therapy has been demonstrated, since it decreases the deficit of protein and energy, prevents catabolism, stimulates intestinal function and allows the maintenance of digestive enzymes exerting trophic effect on the mucosa of the small intestine, which in turn reduces fecal losses, functional and anatomical hypotrophy associated with the "rest of the intestine". Refeeding should be gradual, timely, early, complete and adequate, in order to provide the necessary contribution of calories, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. The child should continue breastfeeding. In case of receiving milk formula, this requires no dilution or special formulas. Recommended: absorbent or astringent foods that contain polysaccharide with colloidal properties such as pectin and dextrin which decrease number of bowel movements and increase its consistency; avoid consumption of foods high in insoluble fibre; protein source of high biological value and hypoallergenic type; preparation of vegetables and fruit as thick soups, puree, juice or natural jams, and fortify them with corn or rice flours without added sugar.

Abstract (Spanish):	El manejo nutricional es un aspecto importante del tratamiento del niño con diarrea aguda. Se ha demostrado que: el ayuno, la desnutrición y la alteración de la microbiota intestinal, disminuyen: masa intestinal, actividad enzimática y tasa de recambio celular. Los objetivos fundamentales están dirigidos a evitar mayor deterioro de la salud y la evolución de la enfermedad hacia la cronicidad. Está demostrado lo beneficioso de continuar la alimentación durante el proceso diarreico, unida a la terapia de rehidratación oral, ya que disminuye el déficit de proteína y energía, evita el catabolismo, estimula la función intestinal y permite el mantenimiento de enzimas digestivas, ejerciendo efecto trófico sobre la mucosa del intestino delgado para reducir las pérdidas fecales y disminuir la hipotrofia funcional y anatómica asociada con el "reposo del intestino". La realimentación debe ser gradual, oportuna, precoz, completa y adecuada, a fin de ofrecer el aporte necesario de calorías, proteínas, lípidos y carbohidratos. El niño debe continuar con lactancia materna, en caso de recibir fórmula láctea, no se requiere su dilución ni el uso de fórmulas especiales. Se recomiendan: alimentos absorbentes o astringentes que contienen polisacáridos con propiedades coloidales como pectina y dextrina que disminuyen número de deposiciones y aumentan su consistencia; evitar consumo de alimentos ricos en fibra insoluble; consumir fuente proteica de alto valor biológico e hipoalergénica; administrar los vegetales y frutas en sopas espesas, puré, jugos o compotas naturales, y fortificarlos con harina de maíz o arroz sin agregado de azúcar.
