Patient's question:
Can people with colitis and cervicitis eat seafood? Last month, my best friend was carefully diagnosed with these two conditions. Yesterday, when we went to the beach for a trip, we accidentally ate seafood. I don't know if this will affect the condition, so I wanted to consult online. Then, do we need to go to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
Colitis can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. If it is in the acute phase of colitis, it is recommended to eat as little seafood as possible, as it may worsen symptoms like nausea and vomiting. However, if it is in the exacerbation phase of colitis, you can moderately consume seafood, which will not cause significant interference with the condition.Cervicitis has relatively fewer dietary restrictions, and you can follow a normal diet, including seafood. Patients with cervicitis can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment alongside conventional medical treatment. In daily life, it is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating and never binge on food.
