TRIBUNMANADO.CO.ID – Have you ever had a bad cold accompanied by diarrhea?
Symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting will appear between 1-3 days after a person is infected with stomach flu. Of course, people with stomach flu have no appetite.
Severe flu is characterized by vomiting and diarrhea due to infection or inflammation that occurs in the walls of the digestive tract, especially the stomach and intestines.
Then, what can be consumed or avoided by people with the disease?
Family doctor Laura Lipold, MD, describes the list food and drinks that someone with the stomach flu should avoid. Anything?
1. Coffee and soda
Avoid coffee and other drinks that contain caffeine – such as soda – for one week.
Caffeine makes the intestines contract, which can worsen diarrhea, says Dr. Lipold.
2. Alcoholic drinks
Alcoholic drinks act like diuretic drugs, which speed up urine formation.
