Connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a rheumatic syndrome characterized by SLE, scleroderma, polymyositis or dermatomyositis and RA like symptoms. It has the highest positive rate of circulating antinuclear antibody, that is, antinuclear ribonucleoprotein antibody. Renal involvement is less, response to corticosteroids is good, prognosis is good. In terms of diet, attention can be reduced, so let's have a look.

Pay attention to the diet of connective tissue disease

1. The diet should be controlled. The diet should be regular and quantitative. The soft, hard, cold and hot food should be appropriate. Do not worry about physical weakness, inadequate nutrition and overeating, increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, damage digestive function.

2. The diet should be light, patients often suffer from pain, and long-term with drugs. When the disease attacks, the tea and rice are not fragrant, so the food should be light. On the one hand, it can maintain a good appetite, on the other hand, it can maintain a good function of spleen and stomach to enhance the disease resistance.

3. Correct food and medicine supplement is beneficial to the patients, but it must be carried out according to the condition and the function of spleen and stomach. For example, although milk, soybean milk, malt milk and chocolate are good nutrition products, those with damp heat or sticky tongue coating in the body will suffer from abdominal distension instead of eating; ginseng, white fungus and donkey hide gelatin can nourish Qi and blood, but those with disharmony between the spleen and stomach or damp heat will take them instead of choking Qi and helping dampness, which will not only make the disease go away, but also add to the pain.

matters needing attention

Some patients with a longer course of disease, if the disease is too strict, for a long time, affect the absorption of nutrition, the rehabilitation of the disease is not conducive. Generally speaking, patients can eat any diet without taboo. Only in the acute stage or acute attack, when the joint is red, swollen and hot, it is not suitable to eat spicy and stimulating food; for those who are chronically ill with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, they should eat less raw and cold fruits, shrimp, crab, bamboo shoots and so on. Once the condition is stable, the taboo can be relaxed.
