#HappyTummiesmeet – How to manage diarrhoea in children with Enterogermina
Recently I got a chance to attend #HappyTummiesMeet organised by Enterogermina with my son. It was a fun-filled event where we had an ‘Expert Talk’ with Dr Zinal Unadkat a leading paediatrician in Mumbai. She spoke in-depth on how we can manage diarrhoea in children by maintaining good gut health.
Dr Zinal also helped in bursting a lot of myths which concerns a new mom. Her emphasis was on eating healthy for a healthy tummy. She also explained the role of Probiotics in our diet and how maintaining a healthy diet with probiotics like Enterogermina helps manage diarrhoea in children.
During #HappyTummiesMeet Dr Zinal took time to interact with all kids and encouraged them to add green, red and purple in their plate. Surprisingly kids also asked a lot of questions and the doctor happily replied to them in simple terms. The kids had a gala time playing, learning and dancing during the event.

It was indeed one of a kind, unique interactive event. Here not only the moms shared their experiences but the kids too interacted. Together we learnt a lot from the fun games and activities which made kids learn the difference between good and bad food items.
We also saw this fun TVC launched by Team Enterogermina and all kids happily danced on the fun jingle and won many prizes.
Now managing Diarrhoea is easy with Enterogermina in must-have for my kid.
