How should patients with gastric cancer eat

Experts tell the majority of gastric cancer patients that when they find out that they have gastric cancer, in addition to trying their best to cooperate with the doctor's examination and treatment, they should also pay attention to their diet. This two-pronged approach can effectively prevent the disease from worsening. So, how should gastric cancer patients eat? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

(1) Fatty and phlegm-producing foods: such as fatty meat, fatty chicken, fatty duck, various sweets (high in sugar content), cream, cheese, etc.

(2) Do not eat rotten or moldy food. These foods contain substances that can aggravate stomach cancer, so try to avoid eating them.

(3) Avoid spicy foods, such as coriander, cumin, pepper, chili, onion, mustard, garlic, etc.

(4) Do not eat irritating foods, such as chili peppers, as they will irritate the stomach, easily damage the gastric mucosa, and cause harm to the stomach.

(5) Foods considered "irritating" by traditional Chinese medicine include: mutton, scaleless fish, pork head, animal offal, seafood such as shrimp and crab, rooster, dog meat, silkworm pupae, etc.

(6) Postoperative patients should avoid consuming milk, sugar, and high-carbohydrate foods to prevent dumping syndrome.

(7) Do not eat foods with high salt content, such as pickled foods.

(8) Do not smoke or drink alcohol, as these will only make the condition worse more rapidly.

We should have a good eating habit in our daily life and have a clear concept of what we should eat and what we should not eat. This is especially true for patients with gastric cancer. They must pay attention to their diet, resolutely not eat what they should not eat, and control their diet to avoid aggravating their condition.
