Dr. Ding Yu
Drinking red bean and coix seed tea can affect the gastrointestinal system. Coix seed is a commonly used food and an effective health-promoting product. However, there are certain contraindications for its consumption. Patients with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold should avoid long-term consumption of red beans and coix seed, as it may negatively impact gastrointestinal health. This is primarily because coix seed is slightly cold in nature, and prolonged intake may easily lead to symptoms such as abdominal bloating and diarrhea.
