Acute gastroenteritis is an acute inflammation occurring in the gastrointestinal tract, characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

For mild acute gastroenteritis, it is appropriate to eat some steamed buns, porridge, noodles, rice soup, and vegetable soup. If there are more than ten episodes of diarrhea in a day, this indicates more severe symptoms. On the first day of the illness, no food should be consumed at all, including steamed buns. After treating with medications and symptoms improve, dietary adjustments can be appropriately made, and it is okay to eat some steamed buns, but not too much at one time. The principle of eating small, frequent meals should be followed, and it is also important to avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
