Grandma often tells me to eat coarse grains if I have a bad stomach, but isn't coarse grains good for digestion and absorption? Why is this?

    The process of corn digestion and emptying in the stomach is different from that in the small intestine. After eating corn, the stomach emptying is slow. So some people feel full after eating corn. But once it is discharged into the small intestine, its movement in the small intestine is accelerated. The time to pass the entire intestine is shorter than other foods. The time in the stomach is longer, and the time in the intestine is shorter. After the corn enters the intestine, it accelerates absorption and digestion. , Is good for bowel movements, but when stopped in the stomach, if there is gastritis or indigestion, it may aggravate the symptoms, so the digestion and absorption of corn is a double-edged sword.
