Diarrhea is a common intestinal disease with a high incidence rate. Especially now, in late autumn, the temperature is getting colder day by day. Combined with various reasons such as people's inattention to their diet on a daily basis, diarrhea becomes even more prevalent. After diarrhea occurs, many patients tend to focus on dietary adjustment.
Experts from Zhengzhou Anus and Intestine Hospital remind that: after diarrhea occurs, patients had better not eat spinach.
It is understood that spinach contains the highest amount of oxalic acid. Oxalic acid easily combines with the calcium consumed in the diet to form insoluble calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate can hinder the body's absorption of calcium. Therefore, when eating spinach, it is not very suitable to stir-fry or make soup directly.
To prevent stone formation and affect the body's absorption of calcium, experts from Zhengzhou Anus and Intestine Hospital suggest that spinach should be blanched in boiling water before cooking, whether for cold dishes or stir-frying. This can reduce the destructive effects of oxalic acid to a certain extent. Spinach contains dietary fiber which can detoxify and unblock, so children should also avoid eating spinach during diarrhea. The oxalic acid contained in spinach is a big taboo for patients with urinary tract stones, as it may worsen the condition.
Finally, experts from Zhengzhou Anus and Intestine Hospital emphasize that although diarrhea is common, it can cause considerable harm to the human body, especially chronic diarrhea over a long period, which can easily lead to malnutrition in patients. Moreover, the occurrence of diarrhea also indicates that there may be changes in the patient's intestines, and timely treatment at a regular professional hospital is necessary.
It is reported that Zhengzhou Anus and Intestine Hospital has introduced a new Japanese painless electronic colonoscope for intestinal examinations for patients. The Japanese painless electronic colonoscope is suitable for endoscopic examination and treatment of anal and intestinal diseases. It ensures that patients complete the examination comfortably, painlessly, and without memory. It goes deep into the colon, where even minor colon diseases can be clearly presented. Compared with traditional colonoscopies, it reduces mechanical damage to patients. High-quality clear pictorial reports can also be printed, allowing both doctors and patients to intuitively understand the condition. This equipment is also called the "electronic doctor" in the medical field and has opened up a brand-new "mirror" world for the examination and treatment of anal and intestinal diseases such as colitis and rectocolitis.
