Can you drink tea if you have a bad stomach?



It is best not to drink tea when the stomach is not good, because tea contains tea polyphenols, theophylline, caffeine and many other components for the gastric mucosa damage.

1. Tea contains many tea polyphenols, which can produce a strong stimulation of the gastric mucosa, leading to spasm and contraction of the smooth muscle in the stomach, which in turn causes stomach pain.

2. Tea contains some theophylline and caffeine, which can stimulate the nervous system excitation, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction, and then bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and other discomforts.

3. Tea can stimulate the gastric mucosa to secrete too much gastric acid, thereby damaging the gastric mucosa, aggravating the condition, especially in the presence of gastric erosion, gastric ulcer patients, should pay special attention.

Therefore, it is recommended that people with poor stomach and intestines do not drink tea, otherwise it may aggravate stomach diseases.
