You can drink porridge, but you should reasonably plan your diet according to your physical condition to avoid adverse reactions. Porridge is a traditional Chinese food that is rich in nutrition. Among various soups and broths, porridge is the most easily accepted by people, helps improve nutrition, nourish the body, and aids digestion and gastrointestinal function. However, individuals with poor stomach health should be cautious not to consume too much porridge, as excessive intake may increase the burden on the stomach and intestines. Additionally, people with stomach issues can still drink porridge, but they must reasonably arrange their diet based on their individual health conditions to prevent any adverse reactions.
