Mangosteen is generally not suitable for children with gastroenteritis, because although it tastes sweet and sour, it is a cold food with a high sugar content. If children consume mangosteen, it may cause diarrhea and abdominal pain, especially in children with cold gastroenteritis. In addition, the high sugar content of mangosteen can cause osmotic diarrhea, which is not conducive to the improvement of gastroenteritis. For these reasons, children with gastroenteritis are not recommended to consume mangosteen, but rather Poria or white lentil porridge.
