What should I do if I have acute gastroenteritis and eat spicy hot pot, causing diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I used to have acute gastroenteritis. Recently, eating things like spicy hot pot would make me feel nauseous and vomit. Sometimes, overeating or consuming fried foods would also cause nausea and vomiting. Is this still gastroenteritis? How can it be diagnosed?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you may have a case of chronic enteritis, and it is recommended to have a thorough examination. It is advised that you undergo a colonoscopy for a detailed check-up and take oral enteritis medicine for treatment. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. In addition to timely treatment for enteritis, friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity be reduced and their belief in combating the disease be strengthened. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to personal dietary care and ensure a balanced nutrition, as well as timely digestion of nutrients.
