Patient's question:
Please ask if donkey meat causes milk to dry up. If it does, what precautions should be taken? How should one proceed if milk does dry up?Doctor's answer:
Eating donkey meat during lactation does not cause milk suppression. Donkey meat is particularly suitable for postpartum recovery and consumption, as it can replenish qi and blood and enhance the body's constitution. Donkey meat has a certain therapeutic effect on postpartum qi and blood deficiency, weakness, and poor appetite. Additionally, the unsaturated fatty acids in donkey meat can also benefit the infant through milk, promoting intellectual development.Since donkey meat is a warm food, it is not easily digested and absorbed by the body. Patients with gastroenteritis often have spleen deficiency and limited digestive capacity. If this food is not easily digested, it is more likely to cause severe gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhea.
