2. Use liquid food or semi-liquid food with little residue before and after acute attack or surgery. Food content: rice soup, steamed egg, rice flour, milk is generally not recommended. Vegetables and fruits must be prohibited. They can be made into vegetable juice, vegetable puree, juice, fruit puree, jelly, etc. for consumption. For semi-liquid food with little residue, fish, lean meat, eggs containing high-quality protein can be used to make soft and less oily food, such as boiled fish balls, lotus porridge, chicken shredded dragon beard noodles and bread.

3. Provide sufficient protein, inorganic salts and vitamins, and avoid malnutrition-induced hypoproteinemia as much as possible to strengthen the physical constitution and help alleviate the disease.

4. Avoid eating irritating and fiber-rich foods, such as spicy foods such as peppers and mustard, as well as foods with a lot of residue such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and celery. When the disease attacks, avoid eating raw vegetables, fruits, and irritating condiments such as onions, ginger, and garlic.
