What are the residue-free semi-liquid foods

When we are sick, we should not only take medicine in time, pay attention to rest, but also adjust our diet appropriately. Just like we cannot eat oily or spicy food when we have a sore throat, patients with intestinal problems should try residue-free semi-liquid food. This kind of food is not only high in dietary fiber and can supplement nutrition, but also easy to swallow. So what are the residue-free semi-liquid foods?

The low-residue semi-liquid diet strictly restricts the fiber in the diet. The general food content is based on the semi-liquid diet and further strictly restricts the fiber. Except for vegetable and fruit puree and filtered vegetable soup and juice, no other fruits and vegetables are used.

A semi-liquid diet is mainly composed of semi-fluid food, which is easy to swallow and digest. Available foods are those that do not contain dietary fiber, such as boiled noodles, stewed steamed buns, thick porridge, vegetable paste, fish balls, milk, eggs, cakes, etc. Eat small meals frequently, with a fixed amount of staple food, 5 to 6 meals a day. Liquid food without residue such as milk; semi-liquid food with little residue such as rice porridge.

A low-residue diet is an easily digestible diet that contains very little fiber, including tough muscle fibers. The purpose is to minimize fiber irritation to the digestive tract, reduce intestinal motility, and reduce the amount and movement of stool. Generally, it includes avoiding some fiber-rich vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fried foods that are difficult to digest, and strong seasonings. Such as high-fiber whole grains, corn, beans, nuts, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, raw vegetables, celery, leeks, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, raw radishes, onions, as well as fried foods and condiments (chili peppers).

Soft rice with little residue is made by further processing food with little fiber into soft and broken pieces. Staple foods include bread, honey cakes, steamed dumplings, steamed buns, and noodles; meat dishes include fried fish fillets, braised fish balls, fried chicken fillets, and boiled meatballs; vegetables include steamed winter melon sandwiches, fried eggplant shreds, braised southern tofu and tomatoes, stir-fried shredded carrots, and boiled fruits.

Liquid food is a kind of food that is in liquid state and can melt into liquid in the mouth. It is easier to swallow and digest than semi-liquid diet and is non-irritating. Liquid diet is suitable for critically ill patients who are extremely weak and unable to chew food.
