After the intestinal obstruction is cured, you should initially eat soft, liquid, nutrient-rich food.
Intestinal obstruction is a common pathology of the digestive system with complex causes. After the onset of the disease, the patient may have abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, and the anus stops defecation and other symptoms. To alleviate these symptoms through treatment, a reasonable diet is needed to reduce the irritation to the intestinal tract and promote further recovery.
In the early stage, soft food, fluid food, and rich in nutrients, such as: rotten noodles, rice soup, vegetable soup, eggs, milk, chicken and so on. Patients should chew slowly and avoid overeating. In order to better promote food absorption and reduce the pressure on the intestinal tract, food can be polished into powder or paste, and do not eat too much food at one time.
During the eating process, it is important to pay attention to the patient’s reaction to eating. If there is discomfort such as abdominal pain and bloating, it means that the patient’s gastrointestinal burden is too heavy, and intestinal obstruction or intestinal injury may occur again, so the patient should stop eating temporarily and pay attention to observation. After making sure that there is no abnormal situation, then resume eating.
