Recently, I read about the principles of dietary regimen for cholera in the “Prepared Emergency Thousand Gold Formula”, and I think the principles of regimen are also more applicable to patients with acute gastroenteritis.
Acute gastroenteritis is mostly caused by dietary disorders, when the disease attack gastrointestinal disorders, is like a machine failure, if this time still a lot of food, do not pay attention to moderation, is like adding too much workload to the machine, will certainly cause the aggravation of the failure.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients with acute gastrointestinal disease should fast and drink more hot water (a little at a time), and after the disease has improved, it is still appropriate to eat rice porridge for 3 days, many patients because of the small amount of food during the attack of the disease, once the disease has improved, appetite will increase, at this time, if the food is not controlled, it is easy to cause the aggravation of the disease, that is, the “typhoid” said The problem of “food regain” is also mentioned in the “Treatise on Typhoid”.
