Can't people with thyroid cancer eat celery?

Thyroid cancer patients can eat celery, because celery contains relatively low iodine and will not affect thyroid cancer. However, it should be noted that it is not recommended for thyroid cancer patients to eat celery raw. They can blanch it with boiling water or cook it before eating to avoid digestive symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. In addition, thyroid cancer patients should also pay attention to other dietary taboos and medication taboos.

1. Dietary taboos:

1. Avoid excessive intake of iodine: It is not recommended for patients with thyroid cancer to consume too much iodine, such as kelp, seaweed, sea cucumber, dried shrimp, etc. Excessive iodine will promote the synthesis of thyroid hormones, thereby aggravating the condition of thyroid cancer;

2. Avoid eating spicy foods: such as onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, mustard, etc., because spicy foods will irritate the gastrointestinal tract and aggravate the patient's pain.

2. Contraindications:

1. Avoid drug abuse: Some drugs used to treat thyroid cancer may cause liver damage, resulting in decreased liver function, thus aggravating the condition. Therefore, drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor and should not be abused.

2. Avoid irritating foods: Patients with thyroid cancer should avoid irritating foods, such as pepper, chili, barbecue, etc. These foods will irritate the gastrointestinal tract and aggravate gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

In addition to the above taboos, you should also pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, because smoking and drinking will damage the body and are not conducive to disease recovery. In addition, thyroid cancer patients should keep a good mood, exercise appropriately, improve their body resistance and immunity, and have regular checkups.
