On her Instagram page, gastroenterologist Yevgenia Belinska

told

whether people with gastrointestinal tract diseases can drink coffee.

How coffee affects the body

There is a certain statement that it is forbidden to drink coffee for diseases related to the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract).

Especially if you supplement the drink with sweets.

However, it is nothing more than a myth.

According to the doctor, you should not demonize any food.

The specialist indicates that if you are currently in a state of remission, that is, you have no active complaints from the gastrointestinal tract, you can drink coffee and even add a cake to it.

But there is one important nuance here — you can't do it on an empty stomach.

That is, it is better for people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract to refuse to start their morning with coffee.

This can lead to iron deficiency in the blood.

And that's why it's better to eat first, and drink a cup of coffee after an hour or two.

You should also not drink coffee-based drinks during or instead of a meal.

To whom coffee is harmful, it is better to give it up

The expert emphasizes that after consuming any product (and coffee is no exception), you need to monitor your well-being.

If you feel pain, heartburn or other discomfort after drinking, it is better to give it up for a while.

Also, you should not drink coffee if you have gallstone disease or any condition accompanied by diarrhea syndrome.

Coffee has a choleretic effect, and therefore can make you feel worse.
