Can patients with gastroenteritis consume mulberry wine?

Gastroenteritis generally refers to acute gastroenteritis. Patients with this condition usually should not consume mulberry wine and should pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and appropriate health management.

Patients with acute gastroenteritis commonly experience symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. At this time, the digestive system functions weakly, making it unsuitable to ingest alcohol or highly irritating foods. Mulberry wine contains a certain amount of alcohol, which may increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, irritate the gastric mucosa, and worsen inflammation. Therefore, it is not recommended for patients during the acute phase.

The gastrointestinal mucosa in patients is typically in an inflamed state, and alcohol may further affect the normal peristalsis and digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby hindering the recovery from gastroenteritis. Patients should also avoid spicy and irritating foods, greasy foods, cold foods, and gas-producing foods to prevent worsening of the condition.

In daily life, patients are advised to choose bland, easily digestible, and nutrient-rich foods, such as porridge, noodles, and lean meat, to help the gastrointestinal tract recover more effectively.
