Two major misunderstandings in the treatment of gallbladder cancer patients

During the treatment process, patients with gallbladder cancer may often fall into the misunderstanding of extreme dietary restrictions and blindly taking supplements. They should get out of these two misunderstandings in time so that their condition can be better recovered.

Myth 1: Avoiding extreme foods

Diet is a taboo on certain foods during the illness, which is of certain significance to the treatment and recovery of the disease. However, there are often misunderstandings about diet for patients with gallbladder cancer: some people think that they should strictly avoid certain foods, such as chicken, duck, fish, etc., and can only eat vegetarian food. As a result, after the diet is avoided, the patient becomes thinner and thinner, and his physical condition becomes worse day by day, and he is unable to receive any treatment for the disease.

Get out of the misunderstanding: 1. It is better not to eat the foods that Chinese medicine calls "prone to hair": rooster, carp, pig head. Other animal foods are the main source of protein and should be eaten in moderation. Sufficient nutrition after surgery can promote wound recovery.

2. Vegetables, fruits and other plant-based foods, as long as they are fresh and hygienic, have anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects.

3. Diet should be provided according to the illness. For example, patients undergoing radiotherapy should eat less hot foods such as dog meat and mutton.

Misconception 2: Blindly taking supplements

Friends and relatives often send supplements to patients with gallbladder cancer. Patients and their families also believe that they need to take supplements properly, so they start taking supplements blindly. As a result, the more they take supplements, the worse their condition becomes.

Get out of the misunderstanding: 1. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tonics have four properties and five flavors, all of which are targeted. When consuming them, they should be selected according to the patient's condition and constitution and follow certain dietary therapy principles.

2. Do not trust advertisements and blindly believe in the effects of tonics. Instead, you should consult relevant experts in regular hospitals and choose to take them in a targeted manner to avoid blindly following them.

3. The signs of health food and ordinary food are different. Health food has the approval number of "Jian" brand, while ordinary food has the approval number of "Shi" brand. Never mistake food with "Shi" brand or "Jian" brand as medicine.
