Dietary considerations after intestinal polyp surgery

In recent years, the number of patients suffering from intestinal polyps has shown a clear upward trend, which is related to poor diet and overly refined food. The best treatment for intestinal polyps is surgery. After the operation, you must pay attention to diet and health, understand some dietary issues, eat food that is easy to digest, eat some pasta and some porridge appropriately, eat more alkaline food appropriately, and avoid greasy, spicy and stimulating food.

Foods like noodles and buns are very beneficial for intestinal recovery. They will not produce toxins to the body and will not put too much burden on the stomach. Patients can eat more of them.

2. Eat some porridge

Since patients are relatively weak after intestinal polyp surgery and need certain nutritional supplements, you can add some vegetables and fruits when cooking porridge, such as red beans, radishes, and apples. This kind of diet is not only easy to digest, but also nutritious, which is conducive to the patient's physical recovery.

3. Eat some alkaline foods

Patients with polyps should eat more alkaline foods to improve their acidic physique. Vegetables such as cabbage, kelp sprouts, kelp, onions, etc. are weakly alkaline.

4. Avoid greasy food

Fried, smoked, grilled foods, and greasy foods will stay in the patient's intestines for a long time, causing digestion problems and increasing the burden on the intestines, so do not eat after surgery.

5. Avoid spicy foods

Avoid irritating foods such as liquor, chili peppers, vinegar, etc. during the postoperative recovery period to avoid irritating the postoperative wound and causing congestion, etc.

Foods such as cheese, persimmons, meat, egg yolks, bread, wheat, etc. are acidic foods. Patients must avoid these foods after intestinal polyp surgery to avoid affecting their body's recovery. They must also quit smoking and drinking.
