summary

My grandfather's stomachache has been under control since he was a child. Sometimes the stomachache will roll. My family is very worried. Yesterday, I took the old man to the hospital for examination. I didn't expect that he got this disease. Today, let me learn from you what should be paid attention to for patients with gastric cancer.

What should gastric cancer patients pay attention to

First: give sufficient protein, carbohydrate, vitamin and calorie intake, usually should eat less and more meals, do not eat too cold, overheating, excellent food, avoid overeating, so as not to damage the gastric mucosa. Pay attention to the color, aroma, taste and shape of food, so as to increase appetite, ensure the food rich in nutrition and easy to digest, and ensure nutrition, so as to improve the disease resistance ability of the body.

Second, increase the amount of vitamins and minerals, appropriate selection of animal liver, fresh vegetables, etc., in order to improve the amount of vitamins and minerals. It should be noted that after gastric surgery, patients are prone to iron deficiency anemia, so it is appropriate to eat lean meat, fish, shrimp, animal blood, animal liver, egg yolk, bean products, jujube, green leafy vegetables, sesame paste and other foods rich in protein and iron to prevent anemia.

Third: at the same time, patients with a small number of meals, avoid eating a lot of sweets to prevent dumping syndrome. After subtotal gastrectomy, the control of pyloric sphincter is lost, and food enters jejunum too quickly. The food with more sugar can't enter jejunum quickly through the mixture of gastrointestinal fluid, which can make hypertonic food become isotonic in a short time, and absorb a large amount of extracellular fluid into the intestinal cavity, causing a temporary decrease of blood volume; Adjust diet, eat more protein and fat food, reduce carbohydrate intake, make it gradually adapt.

matters needing attention

Gastric cancer surgery is to remove part of the stomach, so the capacity of the stomach is smaller than before, so we must pay more attention when eating. We should eat less and more meals, and then eat more light food, do not eat stimulating food, and eat less food with high sugar content.
