Can you eat lotus root starch if your stomach is not good?

Patients with gastrointestinal problems can eat lotus root starch in moderation, but not too much.

Lotus root starch is a light food that is easy to digest. It contains a lot of carbohydrates, which is beneficial to be absorbed by the stomach. It has the effects of clearing heat and promoting body fluid, promoting digestion, invigorating spleen and stimulating appetite, etc. It is good for improving gastrointestinal health. However, there is a lot of starch in lotus root starch. Excessive consumption is easy to accumulate in the stomach, increasing the burden of digestion, and causing abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea and other discomfort symptoms. Starch can also be metabolized into a large amount of sugar, causing obesity and elevated blood sugar, which is not conducive to the health of the gastrointestinal tract.
