Don't let food become a burden on your stomach and intestines

Fat, fibre from whole grains and legumes, and lactose are difficult to digest. When digestive strength is weak, a temporary low-fat, low-fibre and gentle diet should be adopted to reduce the burden on the intestines. It is recommended to choose plain congee, bananas, skinless chicken and fish, prepared mainly by steaming, boiling or stewing, while avoiding pan-frying and deep-frying. Dairy products can be replaced with lactose-free milk or low-lactose Greek yoghurt.
