Can I drink yogurt while taking Chinese medicine?

In fact, Chinese medicine treatment and conditioning is a method that people now choose if they want to better protect their bodies and solve some diseases, because Chinese medicine treatment has relatively few side effects and is very effective in conditioning the body. However, when taking Chinese medicine, we also need to pay attention to our daily diet. Now let’s find out whether we can drink yogurt while taking Chinese medicine.

Generally speaking, in life, if you are taking Chinese medicine, you cannot take yogurt with it because it will affect the absorption of the medicine and will also have an adverse effect on our gastrointestinal health. So I hope everyone can abide by these principles so that the medicine can be effective.

You cannot drink yogurt while taking Chinese medicine. It is best not to drink yogurt while taking Chinese medicine. Chinese medicines are mostly composed of tannins, which when mixed with milk can cause damage to drug absorption and the gastrointestinal tract. And not everyone can drink yogurt.

Patients after gastrointestinal surgery

It is not suitable to drink yogurt in the short term after a subtotal gastrectomy, because the patient has lost the ability to process chyme. If nutrient-rich liquid or semi-liquid food is eaten, it will quickly enter the small intestine and cause distension of the jejunum. The patient will then experience vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, dizziness and extreme weakness.

Diarrhea or other conditions that affect bowel function

Once the intestines are damaged, the human body will lose most of the lactase, causing lactose intolerance in people who have good digestion and absorption of dairy products, and aggravating diarrhea. Although yogurt is fermented by lactic acid bacteria, about 50% of the lactose content will remain, so such patients are advised to consume yogurt with caution.

The above is some important dietary introduction. I hope that from these introductions everyone can pay more attention to these health issues. Because when taking some Chinese medicine to treat diseases, if you do not pay attention to your diet, it will affect the efficacy of the medicine, and it may also bring more adverse effects to your health.
