What foods can and cannot be eaten in the early stage of gastric cancer

In the early stages of gastric cancer, people can generally eat light, easily digestible, nutritious food, but avoid spicy, salty, sweet, or greasy food.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor disease of the stomach, which is mainly caused by abnormal lesions of gastric wall cells. Clinically, after the onset of gastric cancer, there will be obvious symptoms such as stomach acid, stomach pain, stomach bloating, and stomach bleeding. In the early stage of gastric cancer, you need to actively seek medical treatment and undergo surgery as soon as possible to remove cancer cell tissue to avoid the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. Generally, you need to maintain a light diet and eat some easily digestible and nutritious foods, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, porridge, etc. You can also eat some fruits such as apples, pears, and bananas.

It is generally not recommended to eat spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, peppercorns, and overly salty, sweet, and greasy foods, such as pickled fish, pickled meat, sugar, fatty meat, etc. These foods are very irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, which may increase the burden and affect digestion and absorption. They may also affect the recovery of gastric cancer.

Regular medical check-ups are required. If you have obvious stomach pain, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible.
