What causes granular stool?

Usually, if the stool is granular, it can be said to be a common constipation problem. Therefore, you should be careful when treating constipation. You should eat more foods that help digestion and speed up gastrointestinal motility.

1. Granular stool is a type of constipation. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, constipation is caused by spleen and qi deficiency. I use food to adjust spleen deficiency and qi deficiency. Qi-replenishing foods: dates, cowpeas. Foods that nourish the spleen and promote bowel movements: peanuts, soybeans, dates (diabetics cannot eat dates, but can boil date pits in water, and then use the water to cook porridge), add 10 grams each of peanuts and soybeans (peanuts and soybeans are high in calories, diabetics should not eat too much), add 1 tael of millet and 5 grams of wolfberry to cook porridge. I call this laxative porridge, it is very effective. The following are methods and vegetables commonly used by patients with constipation.

2. Such as zucchini sprouts, zucchini

Also known as American pumpkin and western pumpkin. Also known as stir-fried pumpkin. Every 100 grams of zucchini contains more than 94 grams of water. It is a low-calorie food with a high content of vitamin A. The rest of the vitamins and minerals are similar to those of winter squash, and the proportion of potassium and magnesium is higher. Its quality is better than that of winter squash. It also contains more cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and pectin. These substances cannot be hydrolyzed by human digestive enzymes, but they can promote intestinal peristalsis and facilitate the excretion of feces. Sometimes my mother eats zucchini raw, which has better effects than cooked, and she also makes soup with it to help with bowel movements.

3. Bean sprouts

It mainly refers to soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. Although they are derived from soybeans and mung beans, they are more nutritious than them. In addition to more cellulose, tranexamic acid disappears quickly during the germination process of beans. As enzymes degrade phytic acid, more minerals such as phosphorus and zinc are released and used by the human body. In particular, it has a very high content of vitamin C and is a low-calorie, low-fat food that is inexpensive and good value. Nourish yin and promote bowel movement and urination. The fat and carbohydrates it contains are trace elements necessary for the human body. Eating bean sprouts regularly can prevent and treat colon cancer, stomatitis, and improve brain function. When making soup with bean sprouts, do not cook them too soft, just cook until they are cooked.
