What can I eat in the late stage of gastrointestinal cancer

When colorectal cancer reaches the late stage, patients may not be interested in diet, but diet is very important for patients in the late stage. Do you know what foods are good to eat in the late stage of colorectal cancer? What foods should not be eaten in the late stage of colorectal cancer? Let me introduce it to you.

Patients with advanced colorectal cancer should not be given a diet high in crude fiber because the cancer blocks the defecation passage to varying degrees. On the one hand, nutrition should be strengthened, with a semi-liquid diet that is low in dietary fiber, rich in nutrients and easy to digest. On the other hand, constipation should be prevented.

In addition, in addition to choosing poultry eggs, lean meat, milk, soy products, fine grains and tender vegetables, patients with advanced colorectal cancer should also consider adding laxative foods to each meal. The most ideal side dishes are honey, bananas, pears, etc. Although they also have a laxative effect, if the intestinal cavity is too narrow, they are not as effective as honey.

Semi-liquid diet should be the main food. Patients with chronic diarrhea or patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have long-term fever, sweating, and damage to body fluids should drink more water and soup. The staple food can be semi-liquid diet such as porridge and noodles. Take more nutritious nourishing and medicated food. Patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have chronic diarrhea, blood in the stool, fever, and a large amount of nutrients and water loss, thin body and weight loss, and qi and blood deficiency should take nutritious nourishing and medicated liquid diet.

Moreover, it should be noted that patients with advanced colorectal cancer should not eat the following types of food: Eat less or no food rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, including: lard, butter, fatty meat, animal offal, fish roe, etc. Do not eat or eat less fried food.
