Patient's question:
Because I often don't eat dinner properly, I developed gastroenteritis, and I often rolled around in pain, suffering greatly! Today, my mom made chicken, and I really wanted to eat it, but I didn't know if I could eat chicken. I'm afraid I won't be able to absorb it.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that patients temporarily avoid eating meat to give their digestive system time to recover, and resume consumption once their condition improves. Since patients with gastroenteritis often experience recurrent nausea and vomiting, it is advisable to frequently consume foods that can help alleviate diarrhea, such as Job's tears (coix seed) and Chinese yam. Additionally, eating more foods rich in tannins and pectin, such as persimmons and apples, can be beneficial in soothing the digestive system.
