After winter begins, the temperature drops sharply. Irregular diet and overeating can easily trigger acute gastroenteritis. If diarrhea is frequent and you are unable to eat, it can lead to electrolyte imbalances such as low sodium and low potassium due to the loss of large amounts of water and heat. Those troubled by this might try drinking some sugar-salt water.
The oligosaccharides (such as sucrose) and polysaccharides (such as starch) that the human body ingests must first be converted into glucose before they can be absorbed and utilized by the body's tissues. Therefore, supplementing with glucose is more direct and rapid for absorption and utilization. People with a history of acute gastroenteritis or diarrhea should keep some glucose powder and saline at home. When symptoms of acute gastroenteritis appear, you can drink a mixture of 100ml of warm saline and 10-15 grams of white sugar 3-5 times a day, which has a good auxiliary effect on treatment. However, those with glucose malabsorption should use this method with caution.
