Good diet for people with digestive disorders
Eat boiled eggs or sea fish at least 3 times a week. Regularly eat yogurt, bananas and sweet potatoes. Eat lots of fruit, especially guava.
All digestive disorders, from dysentery to diarrhea due to food poisoning, if prolonged, are a lever leading to chronic colitis. Besides unpleasant symptoms such as persistent abdominal pain, fever in the afternoon, bloating, loss of appetite..., more serious are the conditions of weakness, weight loss, anemia, water and electrolyte disorders due to recurrent diarrhea. An equally important problem is the harmful side effects of anti-inflammatory drugs, especially drugs containing corticosteroids.

The nutritional regimen of people with colitis therefore needs to be focused on to support general condition by providing:- Water and electrolytes, mainly potassium, because this is a mineral that is easily lost due to diarrhea.
- Protein helps the body regenerate intestinal mucosa and synthesize antibodies.
- Biological active ingredients support the anti-inflammatory effects of specific drugs to reduce the dosage of chemical drugs, while protecting the intestinal mucosa to avoid excessive spasms that make the patient restless.
Patients should therefore remember:
- Drink plenty of water, 2.5-3 liters per day, divided into 6-8 times a day, early in the morning, on an empty stomach. If you can get mineral water rich in potassium and magnesium, that's even better.
- Prioritize "white" meat such as poultry, better yet "fake" meat such as tofu, which is both rich in protein and a source of calcium necessary for the anti-allergy function of the adrenal glands.
- At least 3 times a week, have boiled eggs or sea fish to provide vitamin D, a substance that has anti-inflammatory effects in intestinal diseases according to recent research results.
- Replace fresh milk with yogurt if you are prone to diarrhea due to fresh milk. You should have 3 dishes: yogurt, banana and sweet potato on the dining table to supplement potassium and vitamin B6.
- Snack on fruit several times a day to keep your body supplied with vitamin C. A lack of vitamin C makes it difficult for small ulcers on the intestinal lining to heal. Guava has both vitamin C and astringent properties that soothe the intestines.
