Is it true that typhoid patients should not eat rice ?



Once, people who are sick typhoid are advised to avoid eating porridge and rice.

This suggestion is not without reason. In patients with typhoid, there is inflammation in the intestinal wall. Therefore, it is recommended to eat soft things so that the intestines are not 'fit' can break. Rice, which is harder than the slurry is not recommended because they can aggravate the damage to the intestinal wall.

But later, the ban on eating rice for people with typhoid 'revoked'. Rice is not shown to interfere with the bowel. Once the rice chewed and swallowed, the stomach will be crushed rice into porridge. So that when entered into the intestine, rice is no longer hard and safe for the intestinal wall.
