If the patient’s diarrhea is mild, it will not affect the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, so there will be no reduction in calorie absorption. It is worth noting that if the patient diarrhea diarrhea degree is serious, it will affect the intestinal absorption function, reduce heat absorption.
For those with severe diarrhea, in addition to the possible impact on calorie absorption, there may also be water electrolyte disorders, acid-base imbalance and other conditions, causing the patient to convulsions, thirst, dry skin and so on.
It is recommended that people with diarrhea should consult a doctor for examination, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment after clarifying the cause of the diarrhea, and should not use drugs indiscriminately. During the period of diarrhea, pay attention to the rationality of diet, avoiding the intake of cold, spicy and stimulating food.
