Patient's question:
Because recently my diet has been very irregular, I often skip meals, which has led to a bit of a recurrence of my gastroenteritis these past two days. This morning, my mom lent me some boiled corn and soybeans. I wanted to ask you if it's okay to eat corn and soybeans with gastroenteritis? What should I pay attention to in my diet when I have gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Now we don't fully understand the symptoms of gastroenteritis in patients. Generally, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Fatty, spicy, and extremely cold foods are not advised. Corn is likely okay to eat, but I do not recommend eating fried soybeans. Soy products are prone to causing gas, which may lead to abdominal pain in patients. Additionally, preserved and cured foods are more likely to cause internal heat. Patients should follow their doctor's advice for treatment and pay close attention to the effects after taking medication.
