Can you eat tangyuan during postpartum recovery?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
It's okay but should be eaten in moderation. Tofu balls contain especially high sugar, and too sweet foods can affect the spleen and stomach. Traditional Chinese Medicine says "Sweetness enters the Spleen." Foods with a sweet taste, like tofu balls, have a "slowing/stagnating" effect. Taking them in moderation can provide energy for the digestive system and help digest and absorb the food eaten. However, eating too many can slow down intestinal motility, leading to symptoms such as belching, bloating, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and indigestion.
