However, for some people, drinking congee may not have a stomach-caring effect. Why is that? According to nutritionist Song Xin, although drinking congee can warm the intestines and stomach, it is not suitable for everyone to care for the stomach.
Drinking congee is more suitable for the elderly, children, those with low stomach acid secretion, poor gastric motility, weak spleen and stomach, as well as postoperative patients. However, it is not suitable for those with gastric ulcers, symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, high blood sugar, and stomach prolapse, to drink congee for stomach care.
