Gastrointestinal cold is a common type of cold, generally caused by a viral invasion of the respiratory tract leading to an upper respiratory tract infection. Clinically, patients with this type of infection exhibit symptoms not only of upper respiratory tract infections but also gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. As viruses invade the body and affect the gastrointestinal tract, these clinical symptoms occur. For patients with gastrointestinal colds, it is generally recommended to consume fresh vegetables and fruits, which can help in recovery. Patients with gastrointestinal colds can consume bananas, apples, and pears. However, for patients with prominent symptoms of nausea and vomiting, it is advisable to warm the fruits slightly or prepare mashed apples or bananas, as this could be more beneficial.
