Dietary禁忌 for Constipation Due to Spleen Deficiency and Excessive Dampness
Disease description:
My mother has severe spleen deficiency with excessive dampness, and recently she has also developed constipation, possibly due to recent dietary issues. What are the dietary禁忌 (taboos) for people with such conditions?

Dr. Li Ping
Patients with constipation due to spleen deficiency and excessive dampness should avoid certain foods, primarily refraining from raw, cold, greasy, and spicy foods. Raw and cold foods can further weaken the spleen and stomach and exacerbate dampness accumulation. Greasy foods may cause bile reflux, damage the gastrointestinal tract, and hinder intestinal healing. Spicy foods can overstimulate gastric acid secretion and trigger local inflammation.
