Appropriate food for an eight month old child whose large intestine was removed

Appropriate food for an eight month old child whose large intestine was removed

My niece is eight month old. Her large intestine was removed. She cannot eat much. Please suggest appropriate menu for her since she is having underweight.

Thank you.

Ritu1976, it is her surgeon, or registered dietitian that can tell what's appropriate diet for her. This is a serious question, and the answer depends on her original disease...

Seriously, you should be working closely with a dietician and her pediatrician to tell you all you need to know.  This should not be a guessing game, she needs proper nutrition.
