What dietary considerations should patients with lymphoma pay attention to?

Lymphoma, also known as "lymphoma", is a malignant tumor originating from lymph nodes or other lymphatic tissues. Its malignancy varies. It is caused by the malignant proliferation of lymphatic tissue cell system and mostly occurs in lymph nodes. So what are the precautions and taboos for patients with lymphoma in diet? Let's introduce them to you below.

Dietary considerations for patients with lymphoma:

Lymphoma patients often suffer from anorexia, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort and abdominal distension after radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Eating may also be affected by symptoms such as pain in the mouth and throat, tasteless food, and dry mouth. To achieve correct dietary care for lymphoma, we must first formulate a variety of recipes, and try to make them good in color, fragrance, taste and shape. Before meals, psychological suggestion and medication can be used to relieve the patient's anorexia, nausea and vomiting symptoms. Before meals, you can take 10 ml of compound pepsin or multi-enzyme tablets. Avoid eating fried foods that are difficult to digest and foods that are easy to produce gas. Avoid eating greasy and cold foods. When abdominal distension is obvious, you can take some Chinese medicine for regulating qi and promoting catharsis. For those who cannot eat due to oral and throat ulcers, you can switch to liquid food such as milk, oatmeal porridge, and light-flavored food. To avoid heat stimulation, you can eat a little cold drinks such as ice cream, fruit juice and cream ice cream. To relieve pain when eating, you can spray lidocaine locally for anesthesia, or rinse your mouth with baking soda solution. If the loss of taste causes the food to taste sweet, zinc preparations can be given to improve the taste and increase appetite. If the decrease in saliva secretion causes dry mouth and tongue, Chinese medicine that nourishes yin and promotes fluid production can be taken, or lemon juice or black plum juice can be taken as a drink. In terms of diet, eat less sugar and choose more foods with high water content. The patient can use the tongue to press against the front and middle part of the upper palate and cooperate with qigong to increase the secretion of saliva in the mouth, which is conducive to eating.
