What can I eat after gastric perforation surgery?

Gastric perforation, a stomach disease, is very harmful to human health. If not treated in time, it will cause complications, which makes people very painful. Therefore, many patients with gastric perforation choose surgery to treat this disease. So what can you eat after gastric perforation surgery? This is the topic that many families of gastric perforation patients are most concerned about. Let us now take a closer look at the dietary taboos after gastric perforation surgery!

Patients should pay special attention to dietary taboos

1. Avoid eating too much. Eating too much will cause a large amount of food to stay in the stomach for a long time, which will increase the stomach pressure and make the ulcers prone to bleeding or rupture.

2. Avoid hard food. Hard or difficult-to-digest foods (fried beans, fried peanuts, fried foods, etc.) can cause mechanical wear on the ulcer surface, causing bleeding or perforation.

3. Avoid drinking alcohol. Alcohol can stimulate the blood vessels in the gastric mucosa, causing spasm and ischemia, increasing gastrointestinal motility, leading to recurrence of ulcers and bleeding and perforation.

4. Avoid drinking soda. Sodium bicarbonate dissolved in soda can produce a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, which increases the pressure in the gastrointestinal tract and can easily cause perforation of the stomach and anterior wall of the duodenal bulb.

5. Avoid drinking strong tea or coffee. Patients with chronic gastric ulcers should not drink strong tea, because strong tea irritates the gastric mucosa and makes the stomach more painful.

6. Avoid excessive greasy food. Fried, deep-fried, and oily foods are often difficult to digest and increase the burden on the stomach.

7. Avoid cold food. It will stimulate gastric acid secretion and damage ulcer lesions.

8. Avoid emotional changes. Mental stress or excessive fatigue can cause digestive disorders, leading to worsening or recurrence of ulcers.

9. Avoid overheating food. Hot food can dilate gastrointestinal blood vessels and aggravate bleeding.

10. Avoid sweets. Sweet foods can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, cause acid reflux and fever, and increase discomfort.
