1, what is appropriate for diarrhea?
What is appropriate to eat depends on the gastrointestinal situation.
(1) in severe diarrhea
Temporary fasting is necessary, so that the intestines can get a full rest. At this time, intravenous infusion can be used, or a small amount of glucose+rehydration salt solution can be drunk for many times to avoid serious dehydration and electrolyte disorder.
(2) When can I eat liquid?
Start with light liquid food and semi-liquid food, such as thick rice soup, millet porridge soup, and light salty noodle soup with big pimples removed.
(3) When the stomach doesn't hurt too much
Generally speaking, as long as the stomach doesn't hurt too much and the number of diarrhea decreases, you can start eating. Gradually increase the amount from semi-liquid food to soft and digestible food.
2. What are the taboos during diarrhea?
(1) Avoid eating greasy food.
During the period of eating a bad stomach, and in most other cases of diarrhea, we should pay attention to eating less greasy food, mainly starch food. Although protein can be supplemented, the amount should be gradually increased from less to more, and the cooking should be soft and subdivided. For example, start with chicken soup and egg drop soup instead of eating large pieces of chicken and boiled eggs directly. Don't drink milk for a month. Drinking less sweet yogurt can replace the nutrition of drinking milk.
(2) avoid eating sweets.
Many people don't know that after eating a bad stomach, we should pay attention to avoiding any sweets and sweet drinks, and the food does not add sugar. Because eating white sugar is not conducive to intestinal rehabilitation, human intestinal villi are damaged during diarrhea, and sucrase is secreted by the outer layer of intestinal villi, so eating sweets during intestinal infection is not easy to digest.
(3) Avoid eating cold food.
Don't eat raw fruits and vegetables for a week. Vegetables should be cooked, chopped and boiled soft, and don't be afraid of vitamin loss. If you want to supplement raw fruits and vegetables, it is best to juice and beat, and filter out the dregs, because you need a diet with less dregs at this time, so as not to stimulate the injured gastrointestinal tract. Not to mention cold drinks, cold stimulation itself promotes intestinal movement and aggravates diarrhea. At this time, you need to eat warm food.
(4) Avoid spicy food.
1. In terms of cooking methods, you must eat boiled food at this time, and you can also consider cooking methods such as stewing and simmering. It is not suitable for frying, nor for frying. It is best not to eat fried food for a month.
2. In seasoning, avoid all kinds of irritating condiments, such as pepper, mustard and black pepper. You can use a small amount of mild spices when stewing, such as fennel, anise and cinnamon.
3. During the recovery of diarrhea, some foods that can be eaten on weekdays must be temporarily taboo, such as milk (yogurt is not limited), soybean milk, sweets, high-fat foods, high-fiber foods, strawberries, mulberries, kiwis, pitaya and other fruits that can effectively promote intestinal peristalsis, and should also be eaten after basic recovery.
3. Sample recipes
(1) Chicken soup and yam paste
Ingredients: yam powder, defatted chicken soup.
Exercise:
1. Add a little cold water to the yam powder and mix well. At this time, it will not gelatinize, but it is still raw starch particles.
2. Boil the degreased chicken soup, and evenly pour the yam pulp mixed with cold water into the chicken soup. At this time, the yam is fully gelatinized.
3. Replacing boiled water with chicken soup can increase some amino acids and soluble protein. It doesn't hurt to add a little monosodium glutamate, because monosodium glutamate is sodium glutamate, which is beneficial to the repair of intestinal tract.
(2) Yogurt yam paste
Ingredients: yam powder, fresh yogurt, carbohydrate content below 12%.
Exercise:
1. Make yam paste with boiling water.
2. When it is a little hot, pour the cold yogurt into the yam paste, and then stir it evenly, so that the temperature is just over 40 degrees, which makes it more comfortable to eat.
You can't drink milk when you have diarrhea, because lactase activity decreases at this time, which is easy to aggravate diarrhea due to lactose intolerance. But yogurt is beneficial to the recovery of intestinal infection. If there is no yam powder, you can use lotus root starch directly. Only lotus root starch is purified starch, which has low nutritional value. Yam powder is directly ground from dried yam, which contains many nutrients, among which minerals are more abundant than rice. Compared with miscellaneous grains powder, yam starch is easy to digest, has less anti-nutrients and is very friendly to the intestines.
(3) Fried rice porridge with carrots
Ingredients: carrot, germ rice, salt, 1g, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon.
Exercise:
1. Put the germinated rice in an iron pan, stir-fry it over low heat, and keep turning it until the surface is slightly yellow and the rice grains are slightly cracked.
2. Wash the carrots and cut them into pieces. Put the fried germ rice into the soup pot, add 4 bowls of water, bring to a boil over high heat and turn to low heat to continue cooking for 40 minutes.
3. Add carrot powder, sesame oil and salt until the carrots are soft and rotten.
Food is easy to digest after frying or puffing, which is very suitable for diarrhea patients. Germ rice has high nutritional value and is good for supplementing B vitamins. If not, you can use ordinary rice or millet instead. Add salt to supplement electrolyte and a small amount of sesame oil to promote the absorption of carotene. Carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which is beneficial to the repair of damaged intestinal mucosa.
(4) Apple Lotus Root Soup
Ingredients: 500 grams of lotus root, 2 apples, 2 spoonfuls of lotus root powder.
Exercise:
1. Wash the apple, peel and remove the core, cut into pieces and steam.
2, lotus root peeled and washed, cut into pieces and steamed.
3. Put the diced lotus root and apple pieces into a soymilk machine and beat them into a paste.
4. Mix lotus root starch with appropriate amount of cold water evenly, rush into the beaten apple lotus root pulp and mix well.
Both apples and lotus roots are rich in potassium, which helps to replenish minerals lost during diarrhea. It also contains starch and sugar, which can supplement energy. Need to be reminded, do not add a lot of sugar and honey to taste, if used, it must be very light sweet, because a lot of sucrose (including white sugar, brown sugar and rock sugar) will stimulate the small intestine, which is not conducive to hydration and even aggravate diarrhea.
4. Drugs for diarrhea
Diarrhea medicine: don't take it in a hurry. Many people want to stop diarrhea as soon as they have diarrhea, thinking that as long as they don't have diarrhea, they will be fine. In fact, for infectious diarrhea, defecation is a protective mechanism of the human body. Bacteria, viruses and their toxins can be excreted from the human body through diarrhea, thus reducing the damage to the human body. Improper antidiarrheal may aggravate the symptoms of infection and poisoning. There is a more vivid saying in Chinese medicine that "close the door and keep the thief indoors", which means that if diarrhea is stopped at this time, it is equivalent to closing the door and keeping the thief indoors.
When there are many watery stools but no fever, antidiarrheal drugs can be used as appropriate. When there is obvious infectious diarrhea such as bloody stool, abdominal pain and fever, antibiotics should be used and antidiarrheal drugs should be used with caution.
If diarrhea is severe, oral or intravenous rehydration should be taken as soon as possible to prevent excessive electrolyte loss. If diarrhea is frequent and lasts for a long time, antidiarrheal drugs can be used at the same time as rehydration and antibacterial treatment. Functional diarrhea can help digestion and keep warm while using antidiarrheal drugs. However, different antidiarrheal drugs have different effects and should be used reasonably. At present, the most commonly used antidiarrheal drug is montmorillonite powder (smecta, Biqi, Kent Order). This medicine is not absorbed by itself, but attached to the intestinal wall after taking it, which can slow down the intestinal peristalsis and achieve the effect of stopping diarrhea.
It is usually used for acute and chronic diarrhea caused by various reasons in adults and children. Adults take one pack (3g) orally once, dissolved in 50ml of water, three times a day. These drugs have small side effects and high safety, and their combination with antibacterial drugs is beneficial to control infection.
