Introduction
Urticaria patients can usually drink coconut milk. Urticaria may present symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Coconut milk mainly contains starch and saturated fatty acids. It has cooling effects that help relieve heat, stimulate saliva production, and quench thirst. It can also help prevent vomiting and diarrhea, and strengthen heart function, thus benefiting those with urticaria. However, excessive consumption should be avoided, as it may worsen diarrhea, cause indigestion, and impair gastrointestinal absorption.
Hives patients can usually drink coconut milk, but they should avoid consuming too much at one time to prevent discomfort.
Patients with hives may experience symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, abdominal pain, or even diarrhea. Coconut milk is made from coconut water and ground mature coconut pulp. Its main components are starch and saturated fatty acids. Consuming coconut milk can help refresh the body, relieve heat, stimulate saliva production, quench thirst, and also has effects of relieving vomiting and diarrhea, as well as strengthening heart function. Therefore, it may provide certain benefits for individuals with hives.
When drinking coconut milk, hives patients should be cautious not to consume excessive amounts at once, as this could worsen diarrhea symptoms and potentially lead to indigestion, impairing gastrointestinal absorption. If nutrients remain undigested in the stomach, it may cause conditions such as oral ulcers or tongue pain. It is recommended to follow a doctor's guidance for treatment using antihistamine medications. In severe cases, epinephrine or cortisone injections may be necessary. Additionally, eliminating underlying causes or triggers is important to prevent recurrence of the condition.
