What should patients with colon cancer pay attention to in their diet

A reasonable diet can alleviate the condition and help treat the disease better and more effectively. The diet of patients with colon cancer is particularly important, so what should patients with colon cancer pay attention to in their diet? Let's take a look at the dietary precautions for patients with colon cancer .

Patients with colon cancer should pay attention to eating more vegetables rich in dietary fiber, such as celery, leek, cabbage, radish and other green leafy vegetables. Vegetables rich in dietary fiber can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, increase the frequency of bowel movements, and remove carcinogenic and toxic substances from the feces.

Patients with advanced colon cancer have intestinal stenosis due to the invasion of the tumor into the intestines, which blocks defecation to varying degrees and reduces the capacity for food. At this time, the diet of patients with colon cancer should pay attention to giving patients nutritious and low-fiber foods, such as eggs, lean meat, soy products and fine grains, tender leafy vegetables, etc.; and advise patients to drink more honey water and eat bananas, pears, etc., among which honey has the best laxative effect.

If colon cancer bulges into the intestinal cavity and the intestinal cavity becomes narrow, the intake of dietary fiber should be controlled, because excessive intake of dietary fiber can cause intestinal obstruction. At this time, it is necessary to give easily digestible, soft semi-liquid foods, such as millet porridge, thick lotus root starch soup, rice soup, porridge, cornmeal porridge, egg custard, tofu brain, etc. These foods can reduce the stimulation to the intestines, pass through the intestinal cavity more smoothly, and prevent the occurrence of intestinal obstruction.

Colon cancer patients should not eat too much fat, the total amount of fat should be less than 30% of the total energy, and the proportion of animal and vegetable oils should be appropriate. Colon cancer patients should avoid spicy food, such as chili pepper and pepper, which can irritate the anus and must not be eaten.

The above is an introduction to the dietary precautions for patients with colon cancer. I believe that everyone has already understood the dietary precautions for patients with colon cancer. Experts remind: If you have a disease, you must seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary harm caused by worsening of the disease. I wish you good health.
