What foods can be eaten if you have cholecystitis?
Cholecystitis is a common disease. People with cholecystitis often have symptoms of biliary colic. At the same time, people with cholecystitis should not eat overly greasy foods because the human body needs bile secreted by the gallbladder to assist in the decomposition and digestion of fats. At the same time, there are many dietary taboos for patients with cholecystitis; eggs should not be eaten, and it is not advisable to drink alcohol and smoke.
Dietary attention for cholecystitis:
1. Pay attention to food hygiene to prevent bacteria and worm eggs from entering the mouth.
2. Eat more vegetables and fruits, such as
Spinach, celery, celery, apples, bananas, etc.
3. Try to use vegetable oil for cooking, avoid using animal oil, and mainly use steaming and braising, avoiding frying and frying.
4. Eat moderate amounts of lean meat, fish, chicken, and soy products.
5. Eat more foods that promote bile secretion and relaxation of the biliary sphincter, such as hawthorn, black plum, and corn silk (infused with water).
6. Chinese medicine De Pu Yu Shi Chong tea is used to soothe the liver and benefit the gallbladder, and to regulate qi and remove dampness.
General measures:
(1) During acute attacks of biliary colic, fasting should be given, and nutrition can be supplemented via intravenous injection.
(2) After the remission of chronic or acute attacks, light liquid diet or low-fat, low-cholesterol, and high-carbohydrate diet can be consumed. The daily intake of fat should be limited to less than 45 grams, mainly limiting animal fat, and a moderate amount of vegetable oil (with choleretic effect) can be supplemented. Cholesterol should be limited to less than 300 milligrams per day. Carbohydrates should be guaranteed to be 300 to 30 grams per day. Protein should be taken in moderation; too much can stimulate bile secretion, and too little is not conducive to tissue repair.
(3) Provide rich water-soluble vitamin C and B vitamins, but fat-soluble vitamins A, E, K, and carotenoids such as astaxanthin require bile secretion for absorption, so dietary supplements should be taken in moderation according to the patient’s recovery to avoid deterioration of the patient’s condition. If it is indeed necessary to supplement fat-soluble vitamins A, E, K, and carotenoids, intravenous injection should be used to supplement them in moderation.
(4) An appropriate amount of dietary fiber can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and prevent the onset of cholecystitis.
(5) Drinking a large amount of beverages is beneficial for diluting bile, and 1500 to 2000 milliliters can be consumed daily.
(6) Eating in small and frequent meals can repeatedly stimulate the contraction of the gallbladder, promote the excretion of bile, and achieve the purpose of drainage.
(7) Avoid刺激性 food and alcohol.
(8) Reasonable cooking methods should be adopted, such as boiling, soft braising, pickling, steaming, simmering, braising, stewing, and sealing. It is forbidden to use methods such as sautéing, frying, and frying. In high-temperature fats, there are cracked products such as propenal, which can stimulate the bile duct, causing acute attacks of biliary colic.
(9) The appropriate temperature of food is beneficial for the excretion of bile. Cold and hot food is not conducive to bile excretion.
