How long after bowel cleansing can I eat

Doctors will ask patients after surgery not to eat directly. At the very least, they have to wait for a while before eating some easily digestible liquid food. They are also not allowed to eat food with seasonings, otherwise it will be detrimental to the body's recovery. For the sake of good health, we should not only develop good habits in our daily life, but also eat more foods that are good for the body. Here I will introduce some better foods to you.

For the sake of intestinal health, you cannot eat immediately after bowel cleansing, and you cannot eat solid food right away, but you can eat lighter food.

Diet after bowel cleansing:

1. Scallion Oil and Bamboo Shoots

Ingredients: 50 grams of bamboo shoots, 100 grams of lettuce stems, 5 grams of vegetable oil, and appropriate amounts of chopped green onions, salt, and MSG.

Method: Peel the lettuce stems, wash them and cut them into dice. Remove the shell and old roots of the bamboo shoots and cut them into dice for later use. Blanch the bamboo shoots in boiling water for a few minutes and then remove them. Heat oil in a pan, add chopped green onion and stir-fry until fragrant, then add bamboo shoots and lettuce, stir well, then add appropriate amount of MSG and salt.

Efficacy: Bamboo shoots have the effect of clearing away heat and contain a variety of nutrients. Like lettuce, they are rich in dietary fiber, so they can promote intestinal peristalsis and promote intestinal detoxification.

2. Stir-fried Coprinus comatus with black fungus

Ingredients: 100 grams of soaked black fungus, 25 grams of Coprinus comatus (dried), 50 grams of green pepper, 5 grams of vegetable oil, and appropriate amounts of onion, ginger, and salt.

Preparation method: Wash the soaked black fungus, remove the roots, and pick it into small pieces; cut the soaked chicken leg mushrooms into thin slices, remove the seeds from the green pepper and cut into pieces; cut the green onion into shreds and mince the ginger for later use. Blanch coprinus comatus, green pepper and black fungus separately in boiling water, remove the ingredients and drain. Heat oil in a pan, add chopped green onion and minced ginger and stir-fry slightly, then add the three blanched ingredients, add a small amount of salt and stir-fry evenly.

Efficacy: Black fungus is known as the body's scavenger, which is beneficial for cleansing the intestines and detoxifying after the festival. Mushrooms have antioxidant effects and are suitable for diabetic patients.

3. Cold bitter chrysanthemum

Ingredients: 200 grams of bitter chrysanthemum, 25 grams of red pepper, 10 grams of black sesame seeds, 2 grams of sesame oil, and appropriate amounts of salt and vinegar.

Preparation method: Wash the bitter melon, soak it in warm water with a little salt for a quarter of an hour, take it out and tear off the red leaves from the roots; remove the seeds of the red pepper and cut it into shreds. Put bitter lettuce and red pepper shreds into a bowl, add salt, vinegar, sesame oil and black sesame seeds, mix well and serve.

Efficacy: Bitter chrysanthemum can clear away heat and reduce internal heat, and can eliminate internal heat in the body caused by excessive intake of fish and meat during festivals.

Things to note when eating after bowel cleansing:

First, the issue of nutrition. Fruits cannot provide enough protein and B vitamins, vitamins A, D, K, etc., so attention should be paid to the supply of protein foods in breakfast and lunch to improve the nutritional quality. Brunch is best without sweet desserts and fried foods, and with some protein-rich foods. It is best to eat some whole grains and beans as the staple food to increase the intake of B vitamins and vitamin E. If you are still worried, you can add another pill of B complex vitamins.

Second, to prevent rebound, replace dinner with fruit in the near future. Rebound is inevitable when you resume normal diet after a while, and your bowel movements will also be affected.
