There is no shortage of voices heard during outpatient visits: Doctor, what can I eat for my stomach problems? What are the contraindications? Can I eat something to regulate it? Many friends suffer from stomach disease after excessive tension, psychological pressure, for such questions and concerns, here and we talk about some of my own understanding. Myth 1: Drinking porridge and soup can nourish the stomach? Some patients believe that gastric disease leads to indigestion, after suffering from gastric disease, it is best to change the usual staple food into semi-liquid food such as porridge, soup, etc. This view actually has some truth. This view actually has some truth. However, some people drink porridge, soup, but acid reflux, stomach more uncomfortable. In fact, porridge, soup does help digestion, absorption, have a certain effect on the stomach. And, if you want to drink congee is best to drink rice cooker or casserole cooked or boiled porridge, pressure cooker porridge is easy to destroy some of the nutrients of porridge. Drink porridge is best to mix grains and cereals cooked together to avoid a single nutrient. When cooking congee, it is best not to add too much water, try to thicken some, while eating other staples, or porridge is easy to acid reflux after eating, I myself have this experience. In particular, it should be noted that the soup needs to be made according to the individual’s constitution to choose the recipe, the right medicinal diet can help the recovery of gastric disease, to achieve prevention and treatment of disease, health care and strong body effect. Myth 2: Can stomach patients drink milk? Is it not advisable to eat too many mixed grains and beans? For the first query, there are many different views. Some people believe that milk has high nutritional value and should be drunk, while others believe that drinking milk will lead to stomach bloating, etc. and can not drink. In my opinion, as long as an individual drinks it without significant discomfort he or she can drink it regularly. If one has congenital lactose intolerance, which exists in part of the population, due to the lack of specific digestive enzymes in their bodies, drinking milk may cause bloating, diarrhea, and other indigestion, so it is advisable to drink less. This kind of patients can consider drinking yogurt, which is good for improving intestinal flora and is helpful for digestion and absorption functions. The second query is actually similar to the first query, grains and cereals are high-fiber foods, beans belong to plant protein, both have a certain stomach effect, and to prevent constipation, good for intestinal health. But eat all pay attention to but not the amount of appropriate, otherwise the nutrition is high will increase the burden on the stomach, a long time, the stomach is exhausted, stomach problems will naturally worsen. Myth 3: Can’t drink tea and coffee if you have stomach problems? You can’t eat and drink spicy food? Is it okay to drink and eat spicy food? Coffee, strong tea, especially Chaoshan single fir contain caffeine, which can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid abnormally increased, long-term consumption of stomach patients, may not be conducive to the recovery of the condition, very likely to worsen. Around a lot of colleagues, friends often stay up late working overtime, need to come to a cup of coffee or strong tea to refresh, a long time have stomach problems. Of course, this is more or less related to the consumption of coffee and strong tea. I emphasize here is a strong tea and tea varieties, as for green tea, black tea, Pu-erh tea, all kinds of flower tea, etc. I think it is suitable for office personnel to supplement water and refreshment, stomach can also be appropriate to drink, but also to be appropriate. Eating such foods is not recommended. Stomach disease control can be appropriate to drink some red wine, but must grasp the amount. Having said that, the question arises, can stomach problems really be nourished? How to nourish? Some ulcer patients and friends in the clinic and I chatted about their feelings, feel uncomfortable eating some pasta such as steamed bread, noodles or drink millet porridge after the symptoms are not so obvious or frequent episodes. Is it possible that this type of food has the effect of nourishing the stomach? This is not entirely true. Pasta contains baking soda, an alkaline ingredient, which does neutralize stomach acid after eating in some patients with abnormal acid secretion. However, it is still not recommended to eat pasta if you experience discomfort after eating it. Millet congee is a northern specialty snack, its composition compared to coarse grains easier to digest, absorb, suitable for stomach disease patients long-term eating. I have also heard of various prescriptions, but I always think that illness enters by the mouth, and the key to a good stomach disease lies in whether or not you can control your own mouth.
