Dietary standards for colorectal cancer

What are the dietary standards for colorectal cancer? Colorectal cancer patients need to cooperate with treatment and pay attention to their diet to avoid affecting their condition. How should the colorectal cancer diet menu be arranged? What foods can be eaten? Now we will introduce it to you.

Diet for colorectal cancer: Pay attention to eating liquid food, and after recovery, take more high-protein, high-vitamin and easily digestible food. Avoid spicy food. It is best to eat a light diet and avoid greasy food.

Patients will experience intestinal dysfunction in the early stage after rectal surgery, with diarrhea being the most common, followed by constipation. Usually, the symptoms will be significantly relieved 3-6 months after surgery, and no special treatment is required. For patients with frequent diarrhea, symptomatic treatment such as antidiarrhea pills can be considered.

The diet after intestinal resection is low in fiber, lactose, fat, and protein. Increase the amount of fiber after the intestinal function is restored. If diarrhea occurs after surgery, high-lactose foods, bananas, applesauce, and fruit juice should be avoided. People with constipation should increase the amount of fiber, eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, fruit juice, and vitamin B12 after surgery. Meat supplement: pigeon, quail, black fish made into a thick soup, add some ham slices. Fresh fruits and fresh vegetables, preferably kiwi and watermelon.
