Can I drink soy milk if I have diarrhea?

Soy milk is something we often drink in our lives. Whether it is taken as a breakfast drink or consumed on a daily basis, it has good health benefits. However, be careful not to drink soy milk when you have diarrhea, especially when you have cold diarrhea.

1. Soy milk is a drink we often see. As a very traditional breakfast, it has been accepted by many people. However, although soy milk is very good and has certain health benefits, it can also easily cause diarrhea.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diarrhea after drinking soy milk is related to many factors, including the characteristics of soy milk itself, the type of diarrhea, personal constitution, the food eaten with soy milk, and the time of drinking soy milk.

3. First of all, soy milk is mild, cold and slippery in nature, which can promote intestinal peristalsis. Therefore, people with weak spleen and stomach generally should not drink a lot, especially should drink less cold soy milk. If you have cold diarrhea (such as diarrhea due to catching a cold), you should drink less soy milk to avoid making the situation worse. Of course, if you are suffering from heat or have a hot constitution, there is no such taboo.

4. Secondly, you must master the time to drink soy milk. Generally speaking, it is cooler in the morning and evening, and the cold is more severe. If you have diarrhea or a weak spleen and stomach, you can drink soy milk at noon. In addition, avoid drinking too much soy milk in seasons with heavy humidity.

5. Finally, pay attention to food matching. On the one hand, do not drink soy milk on an empty stomach, and do not eat it with fruits and other foods that are already damp and cold; on the other hand, you can pair it with some warm foods, not to mention something too complicated, ordinary steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and sesame cakes are all fine.
