can we eat curd rice during fever - #24048
I am struggling with this fever for the past few days and honestly, I don't know what to eat or drink. My mom keeps asking me if I can eat curd rice during fever, but I’m just not sure. Like, I usually love curd rice, it’s super comforting, right? But I've also heard mixed things about dairy when you're sick. Some say it can cool your body down which sounds like a good thing, I guess? But then, others say it might be heavy on the stomach or something. Ugh, and I don’t want to make anything worse. I’m really tired, and my appetite is all messed up, and even the thought of anything too spicy or heavy makes me feel queasy. I tried plain rice yesterday and it wasn’t great. Could curd rice be a good idea or would that just be a bad move? Can we eat curd rice during fever or should I stick to something else? Would love any advice from you all!

What Are Probiotics, and How Do They Support Gut Health? - #14520
I have been hearing a lot about probiotics, and I want to understand what they are, how they benefit digestion, and whether they should be taken daily. Some people say that probiotics help with gut health, but I am unsure whether they are necessary for people with no digestive issues. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that improve gut microbiome balance, aiding in digestion, immunity, and mental health. They are found in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, kimchi, and sauerkraut or taken as supplements. Many doctors recommend probiotics for IBS, diarrhea, and after antibiotic use, but some people experience bloating or discomfort when first taking them. However, I want to know whether different strains of probiotics serve specific health functions. For those who take probiotics, what improvements have you noticed in digestion, immunity, or skin health? Would love insights into the best probiotic sources and whether they should be taken long-term.
