How to remedy eating persimmon cakes and sweet potatoes together

If there are no obvious symptoms after consuming persimmon cakes and sweet potatoes together, there is usually no need for special remedies. If gastrointestinal discomfort occurs, a small amount of warm water or ginger water can be consumed to relieve it. The tannic acid in persimmon cakes may react with the high dietary fiber in sweet potatoes, but modern cultivation techniques have significantly reduced such risks. Eating persimmon cakes with sweet potatoes may cause gastrointestinal bloating or mild indigestion, mainly because sweet potatoes contain a large amount of starch and dietary fiber, which combine with tannic acid in persimmon cakes to form sediment in the stomach acid environment. This situation is more common in people who consume a large amount on an empty stomach or have weaker gastrointestinal function. Hot compress on the abdomen and walking can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. If necessary, follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as domperidone tablets and lactobacilli tablets to regulate the gut microbiota. In special circumstances such as chronic gastritis or abnormal gastric acid secretion, there may be significant burning or bloating in the stomach. At this time, eating should be stopped immediately to avoid aggravating acid reflux in a supine position. Moderate use of gastric mucosal protectants such as magnesium aluminum carbonate chewable tablets can be taken. Patients with diabetes need to pay attention to the high sugar content of both, and combined consumption may affect blood sugar fluctuations.

It is recommended to consume persimmon cakes and sweet potatoes two hours apart in daily diet, and prioritize ripe and peeled persimmon cakes to reduce tannic acid content. If symptoms such as persistent abdominal pain and vomiting occur after eating, seek medical advice in time. During gastrointestinal dysfunction, low fiber foods such as rice porridge and Mantou should be selected to avoid spicy stimulation. Long term gastrointestinal sensitive individuals can regularly supplement probiotics such as bifidobacteria to enhance the digestive tract's tolerance to complex foods.
