Can I drink tea when I have an attack of enteritis?

You should not drink tea during an attack of enteritis. During an attack of enteritis, the intestinal mucosa will be stimulated by inflammation, so there will be a stress response. The peristaltic speed of the intestines will be accelerated, and the contents of the intestines will be excreted quickly. Tea contains more theophylline as well as tea polyphenols, and this substance will cause some irritation to the intestinal tract when it enters the intestinal system. In the attack of enteritis, the immune system of the intestinal tract is already relatively low, then stimulated again is not conducive to recovery, and even aggravate the condition. Especially if you drink strong tea, the degree of irritation is even more serious. Some people also use drugs for treatment during the onset of enteritis, and tea contains theophylline and tannic acid, which can affect the absorption of drug components, which is not conducive to the treatment of the disease. During an attack of enteritis, it is best to eat easily digestible and easily absorbed foods, such as millet porridge and noodles. And use antidiarrheal medications for treatment, such as montelukast, enteritis tablets, etc.
