Gastroenteritis diet conditioning

First, in the early stage of enteritis, it is the stage of acute intestinal congestion, edema, inflammation and exudation. At this time, the intestinal peristalsis is active or in a spasmodic state, and its digestion and absorption function is relatively weak. Patients can eat liquid food, such as rice porridge, lotus root powder, egg batter, fine dried noodles, stewed thin noodles, etc. If diarrhea is serious or sweating is more, the patient should drink more soup, such as rice juice, vegetable soup, fruit juice, light salt boiled water, etc. to supplement the lack of water, vitamins and electrolytes in the body.

Second, enteritis improvement period, can give patients to eat some easy to digest and nutrient rich liquid or semi liquid food, such as rice porridge, noodles, steamed egg soup, salty biscuits and so on. It should be noted that it is not suitable to drink milk and eat a lot of sugar at this time, because these foods are easy to ferment and produce a lot of gas after entering the intestinal tract, causing abdominal distension and abdominal pain, increasing the suffering of patients. In addition, milk contains more fat, which can lubricate the intestinal tract and enhance intestinal peristalsis. It can increase the burden of the intestinal tract and is not conducive to the disease.

Third, in the recovery period of enteritis, due to the pathophysiological changes of the gastrointestinal tract, especially the intestinal tract, the intestinal tract is very sensitive to food at this time. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the diet control. The diet should be light, soft and rotten, warm food. Avoid eating fat, fried, cold and hard food and multi fiber food too early, such as celery, leek, garlic, etc. After 2-3 days of recovery, you can eat according to the normal diet.
