While fruit juice is recommended food, it can upset the stomach of some kids. This is true especially in cases of juices with high amounts of a sugar alcohol called sorbitol. Some children are unable to digest sorbitol, which leads to a bout of diarrhoea.
Apple and Pear juice are high in sorbitol, grape juice contains very little, while orange and lemon juices contain no sorbitol at all.
If a child has a tummy that’s suddenly upset, check for a fruit juice connection and we can spot a remedy easily with the references given in repertories and materia medicas
