Q Which foods especially worsen diarrhea? I don't know what to cut back on first.
A Cold foods, raw food, greasy and spicy food, heavy drinking, caffeine, and dairy are the main culprits. Overeating and irregular meals also have a big impact. Simply reducing irritating foods and chewing slowly and thoroughly can lower the frequency.
Detailed Answer
Cold and raw food, greasy and spicy food, alcohol, and caffeine irritate the gut and encourage diarrhea. Some people also react sensitively to milk and dairy. Keeping a record for a few days of which foods particularly disagree with you helps you single out what to cut back on.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The more often you're exposed to an irritating environment, the more important the intestine's resilience becomes. By raising the transport and absorption functions of the intestines through Korean medicine, you can build the stamina to keep your stomach from collapsing even after unavoidably eating irritating food.
