Is it okay to eat pork when you have gastroenteritis?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, due to the busy training schedule, I didn't have a proper dinner and ended up getting gastroenteritis. Now I still have a bit of it, but it's not too serious. I'd like to have a good meal and want to consult if it's okay to eat meat?

Doctor's answer:

After suffering from gastroenteritis, avoid oily and spicy foods in your daily diet for the time being. You can consume small amounts of lean meat, pork liver, eggs, and similar foods. After acute gastroenteritis or with chronic gastroenteritis, each of pork, beef, eggs, and other foods should be consumed in moderation, about 50 grams per day, and avoid overeating. Pay attention to a balanced diet and do not binge eat. Due to the intestinal inflammation response in acute gastroenteritis, the intestinal function does not recover quickly and requires time. Beef and lamb are not recommended. If you really crave meat, you can have a small amount of chicken or lean meat, but it is still best to stick to a light diet.
