What should I do if my acute gastroenteritis has healed but my digestive ability has worsened?

Patient's question:

Two weeks ago, after recovering from acute gastroenteritis, my digestive absorption ability has significantly decreased. I have more frequent bowel movements, and eating cold things still causes abdominal rumbling. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the problem is not serious. Complete recovery from any illness takes time. It is recommended to follow a light diet, avoid extremely cold, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods, pay attention to abdominal warmth and rest. Engage in more activities. There are many treatment methods for gastroenteritis, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the treatment methods also vary accordingly. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
