Acute gastroenteritis, also known as acute enteritis, patients are advised to resist eating mooncakes. This disease is usually caused by acute inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa due to physical, chemical, or biological factors, with common causes including viral or bacterial infections. The onset is often sudden, with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and sometimes accompanied by fever, chills, headaches, and other symptoms.
Due to its high fat, high sugar content, and poor digestibility, mooncakes are not friendly to patients with acute gastroenteritis. Eating mooncakes may exacerbate the gastrointestinal burden, leading to bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other issues, which is not conducive to improving the condition. Therefore, it is generally advised that such patients avoid consuming mooncakes.
During acute enteritis, patients should adhere to a diet that is light and easy to digest. In severe cases, liquid foods such as thick rice soup, clear noodle soup, chicken soup, or tofu pudding can be chosen. As the condition improves, gradually transition to a low-fiber, semi-liquid diet, focusing on selecting foods that are not greasy, soft in texture, and easily digestible; rice porridge is a good choice. Rice porridge and noodle soup are also easily digestible options. If any discomfort is felt during the dietary adjustment process, seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment guidance from a professional doctor.
