Q Are there foods I especially should avoid with chronic enteritis? I'm not sure what makes it worse.
A Spicy and greasy foods, cold foods, alcohol, coffee, and excessive raw vegetables are the main triggers. Eating small amounts frequently and centering meals on warm, cooked food helps protect the intestinal mucosa.
Detailed Answer
A gut with chronic enteritis reacts sensitively to irritants. Spicy seasonings such as chili and pepper, greasy fried foods, cold foods like iced drinks and frozen items, alcohol, and carbonated drinks directly irritate the mucosa. Eating a large amount of raw vegetables at once can also burden the gut, and for those of Soeumin constitution it is especially important to reduce cold-natured foods.
