Gastroschisis - #18408

My nephew was born with gastroschisis, and my family is really worried about his future health. The doctors did surgery right after birth, and they keep telling us that we need to be patient, but we don’t fully understand everything. Since you’re an Ayurvedic doctor, I want to ask if there’s anything natural that can help with his healing process. From what we were told, gastroschisis means his intestines developed outside his belly while he was in the womb. The doctors put everything back in and closed his abdomen, but they said digestion issues are common in gastroschisis babies. He’s on IV fluids because his intestines are not working yet. They told my cousin that it might take days or even weeks before he can start digesting milk. Is there anything in Ayurveda that could support his digestion once he starts eating? Can gastroschisis affect how his gut develops in the long run? One thing that really worries us is that the doctors mentioned problems with nutrient absorption. If gastroschisis causes trouble with absorbing nutrients, does that mean he’ll have lifelong digestion problems? In Ayurveda, is there a way to strengthen the gut from an early age? My cousin is scared that he’ll always have a weak stomach and struggle with food. We have also heard that gastroschisis babies are at risk of infections because of the intestine exposure at birth. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs that can help with healing after gastroschisis surgery? Something to prevent infections and support his immune system? Of course, we don’t want to use anything that could be harmful to a baby, but we are open to gentle Ayurvedic remedies that can help him recover. Once he starts eating, should we avoid certain foods? Are there foods that can help with digestion and nutrient absorption after gastroschisis? Does Ayurveda recommend anything specific for gut healing in infants? My cousin plans to breastfeed him, but if he has trouble digesting breast milk, what should we do? Another thing we’re confused about is whether gastroschisis can cause long-term gut imbalance. Some people say babies with gastroschisis often have food intolerances or sensitive stomachs as they grow. Is there anything in Ayurveda that can help prevent digestive problems from developing later in life? We don’t want to wait until he gets older to start helping his gut. We want to make sure he has the best chance at a healthy life, and since modern medicine doesn’t have many answers beyond surgery, we were hoping Ayurveda could offer some additional support. What would you recommend for a baby recovering from gastroschisis? How can we make sure his digestion is strong and healthy as he grows?
