Patients with spinal cord injuries need to pay special attention to their diet as their digestive system may be damaged to varying degrees. Chili pepper is a stimulant food, and for the average person, moderate consumption may not have much effect, but for people with spinal cord injury, consuming long chili pepper may cause an additional burden on the already damaged digestive system. In addition, the capsaicin in chili peppers may also cause stomach upset, such as stomach pain, excessive stomach acid, and other problems.
People with spinal cord injury should choose mild, easily digestible foods such as vegetables, fruits, porridge, noodles, etc. Not only are these foods easy to digest and absorb, but they also provide adequate nutritional support. In addition, patients should also avoid foods that are too greasy, spicy, or irritating to avoid burdening the digestive system.
Of course, whether you can eat long peppers also depends on the specific situation of the patient. If the patient does not have significant digestive problems, small amounts may not have much effect on the body. However, if the patient's digestive system is already compromised, the consumption of chili peppers should be avoided to avoid aggravating the condition. In conclusion, patients with spinal cord injury should be cautious in their diet and choose the right ingredients according to their own situation.
