During the recovery period, gastroenteritis patients who want to taste mooncakes should pay attention to moderation. Mooncakes are made up of ingredients such as flour, sugar, nuts, and butter. For patients in the recovery period without digestive problems, proper consumption can replenish energy and usually will not interfere with the recovery process. However, considering that mooncakes contain additives, excessive consumption may stimulate the intestines, increase the burden on the digestive system, and cause discomfort such as bloating and abdominal pain, which is detrimental to the improvement of the condition.
It is worth noting that if patients have allergic reactions to certain ingredients in mooncakes, they should avoid consumption to prevent symptoms such as skin itching, diarrhea, or bloating, all of which can hinder the improvement of the condition.
In terms of dietary arrangements, it is advisable for gastroenteritis patients in the recovery period to choose light and easily digestible foods, such as rice porridge, noodles, and egg custard. Cold, spicy, greasy, and highly stimulating foods like chili, ginger, fatty meats, and ice cream should be avoided to prevent a recurrence or worsening of the condition.
If patients feel that the symptoms of gastroenteritis have worsened, they should seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s advice to take appropriate treatment measures, which may include the use of medications such as domperidone tablets, omeprazole enteric-coated capsules to relieve symptoms.
