Patients with 6 types of diseases, such as anemia, esophagitis, and digestive tract ulcers, should not drink milk, as it is not conducive to recovery.
Patients with iron-deficiency anemia
The iron in food needs to be converted into ferrous iron in the digestive tract to be absorbed and utilized. If milk is consumed, the ferrous iron in the body will combine with the calcium salts and phosphates in milk to form insoluble compounds, affecting the absorption and utilization of iron and hindering the recovery of anemia patients.
Patients with reflux esophagitis
Research has confirmed that milk containing fat can affect the contraction of the lower esophageal sphincter, thereby increasing the reflux of gastric or intestinal juice and aggravating the symptoms of esophagitis.
Patients after abdominal surgery
Such patients often have intestinal bloating. Milk contains relatively high levels of fat and casein, which are not easily digested in the gastrointestinal tract. After fermentation, it can produce gas, worsening intestinal bloating and hindering the recovery of intestinal peristalsis.
Patients with digestive tract ulcers
Although milk can relieve the irritation of gastric acid on the ulcer surface, it can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa to secrete a large amount of gastric acid, which can worsen the condition.
Patients with lactase deficiency
Milk has a high content of lactose, but it must be broken down into galactose and glucose by the action of lactase in the digestive tract before it can be absorbed by the body. If lactase is deficient, consuming milk can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Patients with cholecystitis and pancreatitis
The digestion of fat in milk requires the participation of bile and pancreatic lipase. Drinking milk will increase the burden on the gallbladder and pancreas, thereby aggravating the condition.
