Porridge

When you have diarrhea, the intestinal tract is damaged, so digestion is quite poor. If you continue to maintain the usual eating habits and eat a lot of dry and hard foods, it will make the intestinal lining more damaged, which leads to abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea will be more serious. Therefore, people with diarrhea are often encouraged to eat porridge during illness. In addition to minimizing the burden on the digestive tract, porridge also helps to replenish fluids, prevent dehydration and ensure adequate nutrition for the patient.

To supplement nutrition, patients need to eat nutritious foods, processed in liquid form, soft and easy to digest, such as porridge: chicken porridge, lean pork cooked with carrots, potatoes, pumpkin, etc for easy to digest, absorb, and does not cause irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Porridge for people with diarrhea should cook slightly lighter than usual. You should not add too many spices to the porridge, especially pepper or chili, or add a lot of oil. These spices can stimulate peristalsis to contract harder and aggravate loose stools.
