Gastrointestinal diseases are mostly chronic diseases. The treatment of chronic diseases, three points of treatment, seven points of recuperation. Only treatment, without attention to dietary regimen, gastrointestinal disease is very difficult to cure. But in recent years, the books on diet guidance mixed, many friends face a variety of statements at a loss, there are many “experts” do not start from the clinical, regardless of the body to recommend the same recipe to each eager for health masses, which is very harmful. For this reason, according to the traditional theory of Chinese medicine, combined with a large number of clinical observations, I would like to introduce the dietary considerations of patients with gastrointestinal diseases to all friends. Due to the special nature of gastrointestinal diseases, their diets are different from those of patients with liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, etc. For most patients with gastrointestinal diseases, the dietary considerations are as follows: Beef, mutton, dog meat and most other non-flying animal meat, stomach of various animals (such as pork belly, dog belly, treatment of stomach diseases), intestines of various animals (such as pig intestines, chicken intestines, etc., treatment of intestinal diseases), ginger, pepper. If you have the habit of eating chili peppers, generally do not avoid chili peppers, usually not used to eating chili peppers, it is better not to eat. In addition, if it is irritable bowel syndrome, because chili pepper irritation is too strong, also should not eat. Avoid eating: all kinds of porridge (thin rice), milk, glutinous rice (including glutinous rice products such as dumplings, dumplings, etc., and glutinous corn), cold food (in addition, pay attention to clothing, to ensure that the chest and stomach can not be cold), rooster, beer (especially cold beer), garlic, onions, bitter gourd, mustard. You should not drink soup when eating. Those who have a cold spleen and stomach and are prone to hunger should control the amount of food appropriately, preferring three points of hunger to twelve points of satiety. And should pay close attention to the chest and upper abdomen to keep warm, try not to wear suits and other open chest and abdomen clothes. The usual abdominal flatulence, indigestion, should not eat sweet potatoes, chestnuts, taro and other high starch food, but also can not often eat jujube, because the above food Chinese medicine that taste big sweet, sweet is in full, more likely to cause indigestion. If the patient’s tongue is yellow, thick and greasy and poor appetite and dry mouth and bitterness is obvious, Chinese medicine identified as damp heat, should not be beef, mutton, dog meat, the rest as before. Of course, the above taboos are relative, for example, now the younger generation, some people drink milk since childhood, belonging to the “lifelong non-stop milk” category, their gastrointestinal has adapted to the digestion and absorption of milk, so the milk does not need to avoid, but most people still need to pay attention to.
