How do pancreatic cancer patients adjust their diet

Xiaowei's father is a pancreatic cancer patient. Although he underwent gallbladder drainage and several interventional treatments, he just couldn't eat while recuperating at home. He would feel nauseous as soon as he ate, and his whole body was weak. Xiaowei's family was very anxious, so Xiaowei went to the hospital to ask the doctor how to help her father eat and prolong his life.

The doctor told Xiaowei that although the cause of pancreatic cancer is still unclear, it is related to factors such as environmental pollution and changes in dietary structure. Pancreatic cancer patients should pay attention to dietary adjustments, which can not only enhance resistance to the disease, but also play an auxiliary role in disease treatment.

1. Patients with early pancreatic cancer may experience symptoms of upper gastrointestinal system diseases, such as nausea, poor appetite, aversion to oil, steatorrhea and other indigestion symptoms. Therefore, they should avoid eating high-fat and high-protein foods, otherwise these symptoms will be aggravated.

2. Once diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, you should pay attention to the regularity of your meals. You can have 3 to 5 meals a day, but do not eat snacks constantly, because this will cause the pancreas to continuously secrete pancreatic juice, thereby increasing the burden on the pancreas.

3. Dietary nutrition should be reasonable. The diet of pancreatic cancer patients should be mainly carbohydrates, with moderate intake of fat and protein, and easy-to-digest protein, such as lean meat, eggs and fish. At the same time, attention should be paid to choosing the right cooking method, which should be mainly boiled, stewed, boiled, steamed, and sautéed, and avoid frying, deep-frying, and stir-frying to prevent excessive secretion of pancreatic juice by the pancreas.
