Q. I have hyperacidity. Can I drink plum syrup?

A.

Since the sour taste of maesil (Korean plum) can stimulate stomach acid, patients with diarrhea accompanied by heartburn should drink it very diluted or avoid it.

📝 Detailed Answer

매실은 '천연 소화제'이자 '살균제'입니다.

식중독성 설사에는 좋지만, 위염이나 식도염이 심한 분들에게는 속 쓰림 유발자가 될 수 있습니다. 본인의 위장 상태에 맞춰 농도를 조절하세요.
