Dietary taboos for pancreatic cancer jaundice

Pancreatic cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive tract, mostly occurring in the head of the pancreas. Abdominal pain and painless jaundice are common symptoms of pancreatic head cancer. The incidence rate is relatively increased in patients with diabetes who smoke a lot for a long time and who eat a high-fat, high-animal protein diet, suggesting that pancreatic cancer is related to diet, carcinogens ingested from smoking, and environmental pollution. This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and male patients are far more common than premenopausal women. The incidence rate in postmenopausal women is similar to that in men. What are the dietary taboos for pancreatic cancer jaundice? Let's learn about it together.

1. Ensure adequate calorie supply. Generally, 8400-10500 kJ (2000-2500 kcal) per day is more appropriate. The high-calorie therapy for hepatitis advocated in the past is not advisable, because although high calories can improve clinical symptoms, they can eventually lead to fatty liver, which will worsen the condition, so the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

2. Carbohydrates generally account for 60% to 70% of total energy. The high-sugar diet used in the past should also be corrected, because a high-sugar diet, especially excessive glucose, fructose, and sucrose, will affect the patient's appetite, increase gastrointestinal bloating, increase body fat storage, and easily cause obesity and fatty liver. Carbohydrates should be supplied mainly through staple foods.

3. In order to promote the repair and regeneration of liver cells, the protein supply should be increased, generally accounting for 15% of the total energy. In particular, a certain amount of high-quality protein should be ensured, such as animal eggs, soy products, etc.

4. Fat intake is generally not restricted, because hepatitis patients often have symptoms such as aversion to oil and loss of appetite. Under normal circumstances, there will be no problem of excessive fat intake.

5. Ensure vitamin supply. Vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin and other B vitamins as well as vitamin C play an important role in improving symptoms. In addition to choosing foods rich in these vitamins, you can also take a variety of vitamin preparations orally.

6. Supply sufficient fluids. Drinking more fruit juice, rice soup, honey water, watermelon juice, etc. can accelerate the excretion of toxins and ensure the normal metabolic function of the liver.

7. Pay attention to cooking methods, improve the color, aroma, taste and shape of food to promote appetite. Avoid fried, deep-fried and other strongly irritating foods, and limit foods with high nitrogen extracts such as broth and chicken soup to reduce the burden on the liver.

8. Eat small meals frequently.
