What should I pay attention to in my diet when I have digestive tract perforation

Patients with gastrointestinal perforation must pay attention to the doctor's treatment advice, but at the same time they must also pay attention to daily dietary taboos. They cannot eat fried, spicy, or pickled foods. They must eat at regular times and in fixed amounts, and chew each meal slowly.

1. Eat less fried food

Because this type of food is not easy to digest, it will increase the burden on the digestive tract. Eating too much will cause indigestion and increase blood lipids, which is not good for health.

2. Eat less pickled food

These foods contain more salt and certain carcinogens, so they should not be eaten too much.

3. Eat less raw, cold and spicy food

When the digestive tract is perforated, the patient should eat less raw, cold and irritating foods, because these foods will have a strong irritating effect on the digestive tract mucosa, causing diarrhea or digestive tract inflammation in the patient.

4. Eat regularly

Studies have shown that eating regularly, at fixed times and in fixed quantities, can form a conditioned reflex, help the secretion of digestive glands, and facilitate digestion.

5. Regular and quantitative

You should eat a moderate amount at each meal and eat on time every day. When the time comes, you should take the initiative to eat regardless of whether you are hungry or not to avoid being too hungry or too full.

6. Suitable temperature

The temperature of food should be neither too hot nor too cold.

7. Chew slowly

To reduce the gastrointestinal burden. The more you chew your food, the more saliva you will secrete, which has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa.

8. Choose the right time to drink water

The best time to drink water is in the morning on an empty stomach and one hour before each meal. Drinking water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, and soaking rice in soup will also affect the digestion of food.
