3 common digestive disorders during Tet

Flatulence, bloating; constipation; food poisoning, acute diarrhea are three digestive disorders that many people experience during Tet.

Flatulence, bloating

This is the most common disease during Tet, mainly due to a diet high in protein and fat, and the habit of drinking a lot of carbonated drinks. They cause bacteria to decompose food in the intestines, producing more gas than waste, leading to a feeling of fullness, rumbling stomach, and flatulence.

To avoid this phenomenon, you should eat slowly, chew thoroughly, avoid talking while eating to minimize the amount of air inhaled. You should limit the consumption of beer, wine and soft drinks. You can drink less than 200ml of red wine to stimulate the digestive system.

Tet dishes are high in protein and fat, low in fiber, and can easily cause digestive problems.

Constipation

Constipation has symptoms quite similar to bloating, but makes the body more restless and uncomfortable. Each bowel movement is often painful, the anus cracks, and bleeds. The main cause of constipation is mainly due to a lack of fiber in the diet, lots of sweets, and excess sugary soft drinks. Along with that is the irregular lifestyle and diet, and lack of exercise of many young people.

Many people with uncomfortable constipation choose the quick solution of using laxatives. These drugs should not be abused, because they affect the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Instead, you should drink plenty of water (1.5-2 liters per day), eat more vegetables (25-30g of fiber per day), increase physical activity...

Food poisoning, acute diarrhea

Food poisoning makes many people miserable when they "vomit and runny nose". In mild cases, the patient only feels nauseous and has stomach pain. In severe cases, the patient will vomit with acute diarrhea, high fever and dehydration, which is life-threatening. People with food poisoning are often tired both physically and mentally.

The main causes are food allergies, unhygienic eating, contaminated environments, and reuse of spoiled food, which allow parasites, bacteria, viruses, and toxins to enter the digestive tract. The best way to prevent this is to eat cooked food, drink boiled water, keep food clean, and avoid spoiled food.

When there are signs of diarrhea, you should rehydrate with electrolyte solution or salt porridge to prevent the body from losing too much water, causing fatigue and weakness.

During Tet, you may also experience other digestive disorders such as heartburn, stomach ulcers, stomachaches, etc., which can make your Tet meals less delicious and your spring mood less exciting. It is best to prevent this by stocking up on some digestive medication at home. Herbal medicine is often more friendly to the digestive system than Western medicine.
