Lactose intolerance is defined as maldigestion of lactose as a consequence of intestinal lactase deficiency.<\/p>\n When someone has intestinal lactase deficiency, lactose that is not digested goes to the intestine where it is fermented by the flora, producing water, short-chain fatty acids (acetate, butyrate, lactate) and gas (CO2, methane and hydrogen). This causes intolerance symptoms such as flatulence, abdominal pain, etc.<\/p>\n There are many procedures to diagnose lactose intolerance, such as the presence of reducing substances in stool, quantifying their pH level, the oral lactose tolerance test, and the hydrogen breath test. The diagnosis is confirmed by checking whether symptoms improve after removing milk from the diet. Treatment consists of removing lactose from the diet.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”\u2028How do I know if my baby has any food allergies or intolerances? “]<\/p>\n Food allergy is an illness that is steadily growing in children. Sensitisation to food allergens tends to occur during the first few months of life. It is defined as an immunological reaction to harmless substances that are present in foods. The immune system produces specific antibodies against specific protein structures in the diet. These types of reactions are called allergic reactions.\u2028Basic treatment for food allergies and intolerances is excluding from the patient’s diet the food or foods that are deemed to cause the symptomatology.<\/p>\n In order to prevent food allergies, mothers are encouraged to breastfeed, limit intake of some foods while breastfeeding high-risk children, use highly hydrolysed formulas if breastfeeding is not an option, delay complementary feeding, and ensure that the complementary foods introduced into the diet are non-allergenic. These are the most accepted recommendations to prevent food allergies in high-risk children and decrease, or at least delay, the appearance of allergic symptoms. [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is gluten intolerance? “]<\/p>\n Gluten is a protein found in most grains: wheat, barley, rye, oats, etc. Grains that do not contain gluten are rice and corn.<\/p>\n In genetically predisposed individuals, gluten is the cause of coeliac disease (CD). CD is a permanent intolerance to gluten. CD causes an atrophy of the intestinal villi which leads to maldigestion of nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins. The most common symptoms are: loss of appetite, loss of weight, chronic diarrhoea, abdominal bloating, mood swings, growth retardation in children. Treatment consists of removing gluten from the diet.<\/p>\n If you suspect that your child may have a food intolerance, speak to your doctor.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Why should excessive consumption of sugar be avoided from a young age? “]<\/p>\n Avoiding sugary foods helps prevent tooth decay, among other dental diseases, as well as obesity.

The best way to do it is to gradually substitute breast milk feeds with bottle feeds. This way, the baby will gradually get used to their new type of food. The reason for this is that until that moment your baby’s digestive and renal system is still developing and the amount of mineral salts and proteins in cow’s milk may be excessive.

This is because the formula may cause high levels of motilin, which lead to a faster intestinal transit, contributing to a lower rate of water re-absorption and a higher amount of stercobilinogen (green colour), which due to the decrease in transit time, does not transform into stercobilin (brown colour).

However, baby formulas contain quite low amounts of this protein. This is what makes the amino acid profile in one milk different from another. We must add a higher amount of protein to baby formulas than the amount present in breast milk. This excess of proteins may lead to a high concentration of solutes in the kidney (making the baby’s system work harder, which is counter-productive in a system that is not yet developed). This is why our Nutrib\u00e9n\u00ae<\/sup> Proalpha line contains alpha-lactalbumin, a protein with high biological value. This will provide your baby with the amino acids that are essential for their proper development without the excess proteins. It also contains all the nutrients necessary during each stage to contribute to your baby’s proper development.<\/p>\n To find out more about the Proalpha line, visit our website to view the product sheet.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do Nutrib\u00e9n\u00ae cereals contain sugar? ” _builder_version=”3.0.77″]<\/p>\n Our Nutrib\u00e9n\u00ae<\/sup> cereals are made without added sugar, as recommended by paediatric nutritionists.\u2028We make them using a natural non-chemical process: thermal hydrolysis.

In order to carry out the thermal hydrolysis process and break down the starches, we must first make a wet mixture using a limited amount of starches. Using too much would cause it to thicken and block the cooking equipment.\u2028This is why we have to add fewer grain flours and complete the necessary carbohydrate level by adding sugar and maltodextrin.\u2028Other brands hydrolyse the flours enzymatically before treating and drying them. This allows them to achieve a high level of hydrolysis, obtaining monosaccharides, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides.

Although our cereals have less protein, the difference when compared to other brands is insignificant and cannot be argued to be an advantage.\u2028The amount of proteins in baby cereal is legally regulated, it should be below 5.5 g\/100 kcal.\u2028Furthermore, once the cereal is reconstituted, the main source of protein is milk, as grains barely provide protein in the final reconstitution.

There is no legislation in this regard that obligates brands to specify the texture of the fruit used.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Why is there liquid at the top of the Potitos\u00ae jar when heated? This does not occur with jars from other brands. “]<\/p>\n It is because our potitos\u00ae jars are not as thick as those of other brands. Other brands create thick and lumpy jars (they contain too much starch). Our jars have a smoother and runnier texture. When the jars are heated in the microwave, more heat is concentrated at the top, which is why it turns more liquid. This occurs with our jars as they are not as thick as others.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Why do Potitos\u00ae jars no longer contain salt? “]<\/p>\n Because we follow NAOS recommendations (Spanish Strategy for Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Obesity) provided by the Spanish Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs and those of the AESAN (Spanish Food Safety and Nutrition Agency). Su objetivo es sensibilizar a la poblaci\u00f3n del problema que representa para la salud la obesidad y la hipertensi\u00f3n y la necesidad de promover iniciativas para que tanto adultos como ni\u00f1os adopten h\u00e1bitos saludables.

\nImmunological mechanism adverse reactions to cow’s milk proteins. Sensitisation (development of a reaction) in highly sensitive children occurs during the first contact of foreign proteins with the immune system. Clinical manifestations are classified into immediate, intermediate or delayed according to the time elapsed since intake of cow’s milk proteins and appearance of clinical symptoms. These symptoms may appear in many organ systems, with specific symptoms:<\/p>\n\n
\nAdverse reactions to cow’s milk proteins in which a pathogenic mechanism cannot be established. This term is used in clinical practice to describe clinical reactions normally with digestive symptomatology, caused after intake of cow’s milk, and in which an IgE-mediated mechanism cannot be proven.<\/p>\n
\nOne of the foods that produces the most adverse reactions in early childhood is cow’s milk or formulas that contain intact cow’s milk proteins.<\/p>\n2. BREASTFEEDING<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What are the first foods that I should introduce to my baby’s diet? “]It depends on the baby and your doctor’s recommendation. However, at Nutrib\u00e9n\u00ae<\/sup> we recommend the following:
\nFrom 4 months onwards, the following can be introduced: juices, fruit pur\u00e9es, gluten-free cereals and cereals that gradually introduce gluten.
\nFrom 6 months onwards, the following can be introduced: baby cereals containing gluten, vegetable pur\u00e9es, white meat and\/or beef. Follow-on formula
\nFrom 8-10 months onwards the following can be introduced: white fish pur\u00e9es and\/or pulses.
\nFrom 12 months onwards, the following can be introduced: Nutrib\u00e9n\u00ae<\/sup> breakfast cereals and porridges. Growing-up milk
\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When should I introduce solid foods to my baby’s diet? “]Each case is different, but in general, at around 12 months your baby can eat almost anything, from pur\u00e9es and liquid foods such as soup, to bread and cookies that they can chew. This is when you should stop mashing foods so that your baby gets used to chewing, though some dishes can remain mashed.
\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When can I start feeding my baby cow’s milk? Why is it not recommended early on? “]International baby food experts recommend that introduction of cow’s milk to a baby’s diet should be delayed until they are at least 12 months old, and if possible, until they are 3 years old. Until then, you may feed your baby follow-on formula, or Stage 3\/Growing-up formula.<\/p>\n3. BABY FORMULAS

\nThe Dinner jars may partly substitute the bottle. They contain adapted protein, meaning that they may be used to substitute part of the bottle feed.<\/p>\n
\nTheir objective is to educate the public about the problem posed by obesity and high blood pressure to health, and to promote initiatives so that both adults and children adopt healthy habits. We do our part by removing salt from our jars, so that children do not become used to the salty taste.<\/p>\n
\nOnly one of our EcoPotitos\u00ae<\/sup> jars that is made of meat includes the sentence ‘May contain traces of celery’. This is because a supplier has been unable to guarantee that there are no traces of celery in one of their ingredients. We specify that sentence regarding traces of celery as a temporary measure, and hope to have a solution soon.<\/p>\n
\nThis meat and all other meats we receive are not processed and may be easily traced. Just like the other ingredients, it is cooked in our cookers.<\/p>\n
\nBecause cold cut ham is a processed food and it is more difficult to use due to its salt content and other additives (preservatives, stabilisers…) that are not permitted for this age group. Both our specifications and baby food requirements are very strict. For example, many elements are controlled, such as fat levels, animal feed, non-existence of antibiotics and prohibited substances.<\/p>\n6. JUICES AND INFUSIONS<\/b><\/h4>\n
