I want to ask if colitis and gastroenteritis are the same. I don't know if I have colitis

Patient's question:

I would like to ask if colitis and gastroenteritis are the same. I don't know if I have colitis or gastroenteritis. I am losing weight, often feel dizzy, and my heart rate increases slightly with movement. The doctor told me I am iron deficient. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
1. Your current symptoms do not necessarily indicate gastroenteritis; it is more likely associated with iron deficiency anemia, which can easily cause dizziness and may lead to weight loss over time.
2. In such cases, apart from blood-boosting measures, attention should also be paid to diet and lifestyle.
Recommendations:
1. Choose NuCare Iron Folic Acid Tablets and consider adding Vitamin C.
2. Maintain a balanced diet with a mix of meat and vegetables, eating about seven parts full per meal, and diversify food choices for easier digestion and balanced nutrition.
3. Moderately include legumes, dairy products, animal blood, animal liver, spinach, shrimp, jujubes, peanuts, bananas, apples, peaches, etc.
4. Engage in moderate physical activity, avoid prolonged sitting, and prevent overexertion.
