Tremella is rich in nutrition and has the effects of nourishing the kidneys, moisturizing the lungs, and producing body fluids, which are popular among the elderly. However, in clinical practice, it is common to see elderly people who develop intestinal obstruction due to improper consumption of Tremella.
This is because the elderly have poor digestive function, and Tremella is not easily digested. If consumed in large quantities at one time or continuously for multiple meals, it can cause intestinal obstruction. Symptoms include intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation, and cessation of gas passing through the anus. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be required.
In order to avoid digestive problems caused by the consumption of Tremella in the elderly, it is necessary to cook Tremella thoroughly before consumption.
