Pain in lower right side of abdomen

If the pain is sudden and intermittent, it may be due to intestinal spasm caused by intestinal dysfunction, or it may be indigestion caused by weak spleen and stomach. Do not eat spicy food, avoid smoking, drinking, and eating raw or cold food, and keep your bowel movements smooth. Pain in the right lower abdomen may also be caused by appendicitis and fallopian tube disease. At this time, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to confirm the condition and then receive symptomatic treatment.

Here are some foods that may aid digestion:

1. Barley and barley malt contain vitamins A, B, E and amylase, maltose, glucose, invertase, allantoin, protease, fat and minerals. Allantoin in barley can promote the healing of gastrointestinal ulcers.

2. Yogurt In addition to containing all the nutrients in milk, the most outstanding feature of yogurt is that it is rich in lactic acid, which can break down the lactose in milk into lactic acid. For people who lack lactic acid enzyme in the gastrointestinal tract or who are prone to diarrhea after drinking fresh milk, they can drink yogurt instead. Lactic acid can inhibit the growth of mold in the body and prevent dysbacteriosis caused by the use of antibiotics. Lactic acid can also prevent the accumulation of toxins produced by the decomposition of protein by putrefactive bacteria, thus having an anti-cancer effect. Yogurt has a mild laxative effect and can prevent constipation in the elderly.

3. Apple: Apple can both stop diarrhea and promote bowel movements. The tannic acid, organic alkali and other substances contained in it have astringent effects, and the pectin contained in it can absorb toxins. For simple mild diarrhea, eating apples alone can stop diarrhea. The cellulose in apples can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and accelerate defecation, so it also has a laxative effect.

4. Tomatoes are rich in organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, and formic acid, which can protect vitamin C from being destroyed during the processing and cooking process, thereby increasing the utilization rate of vitamin C. Tomatoes also contain a special ingredient - lycopene, which helps digestion and diuresis, and can assist gastric juice in digesting fat. Lycopene can also inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, and can treat angular cheilitis.

5. Orange peel The main reason for promoting digestion of orange peel is that the volatile oil it contains has a stimulating effect on the digestive tract, which can increase the secretion of gastric juice and promote gastrointestinal motility.

6. Chicken gizzard skin, also known as chicken gizzard lining, is the inner wall of the chicken stomach. Chicken gizzards contain gastric hormones and digestive enzymes, which can increase the secretion of gastric juice and gastric acid and promote gastric motility. Gastric hormones are easily destroyed by high heat, so it is best to eat them raw.

7. Papaya Unripe papaya contains two enzymes, one called papain and the other called papain, which can break down fat into fatty acids and promote digestion and absorption of food.

8. Cabbage Cabbage contains a lot of crude fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, help digestion, and prevent dry stools.
