Changes in stool after drinking red bean and coix seed

Red beans and barley are common ingredients in many families. They have the effects of diuresis, detumescence, stomachic and dehumidification. Especially in areas with heavy humidity, red bean and barley porridge is considered to be a good product for removing moisture and is very suitable for consumption in summer. But it is not suitable for everyone to eat, and some eating taboos need to be paid attention to. Many people find that their stool changes abnormally after eating red bean and barley porridge. In fact, this is mainly caused by excessive moisture in the body.

If the stool turns black after eating coix seed, it is usually because of too much moisture. Many people know that too much moisture can affect physical health, and then use diet therapy to treat moisture, but how can you know if you have too much moisture?

1. Brushing teeth in the morning makes you feel nauseous

After getting up and brushing my teeth, I feel like vomiting to feel better, and it feels like there is always something in my throat. It feels like a silky sensation, and even if there is spitting, it is only a little bit. Can't spit it out. This symptom also indicates that there is dampness in the body.

2. Look at the tongue coating

The tongue of a healthy person should be light in color and moist. If the tongue coating is white and thick, and looks like you have just drunk milk, it means that there is cold and dampness in your body. If the tongue coating is a little yellow and looks greasy and rough, it means that there is dampness and heat in your body.

3. Look at appetite

When it’s time to eat, you don’t feel hungry and don’t want to eat anything? Do you feel bloated in your stomach after eating a little? Do you have a vague feeling of nausea while eating, as if the food you eat is pushing up on its own? Most people will experience a decrease in appetite and digestive function in the hot and humid environment of summer. However, there are also some people whose appetite is not affected. They have a strong sense of hunger, but they feel full immediately after eating. This is a manifestation of a strong stomach and a weak spleen, and is also a sign of spleen dampness.

4. Observe defecation

Is it stuck to the toilet? Even a tank of water can't flush it away. If it is inconvenient to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. Normally, one or two pieces of paper are enough. If three or five pieces of paper cannot be wiped clean after repeated wiping, it also means that there is moisture in the body. In addition, the color and shape of the stool can also help determine whether there is moisture in the body. Normal stools are golden yellow and banana-shaped, but few people have this healthy stool nowadays. When there is dampness in the body, the stool will be blue in color, have no shape, and be loose for a long time, which must be due to dampness in the body.

5. How you feel when you wake up

If you feel particularly tired, dizzy, and lack energy when you wake up every morning, or as if you are wearing wet clothes, feel uncomfortable all over, and are too lazy to move... then you can be sure that there is dampness in your body.
