Frequently asked questions about the diet of chronic cholecystitis
1.What foods should be eaten sparingly?
High-fat and high-cholesterol foods, such as fatty meat, egg yolk, crab yolk, animal offal, etc.
Spicy or irritating foods and seasonings, such as chili, pepper, mustard, curry, etc.
Fried and puffed foods.
Wine, strong tea and coffee.
2.Can I still eat eggs, milk and lean meat?
The protein in an egg is about 7 g, the protein in a 250 mL carton of milk is about 7.5 g, and the protein in one pair of lean meat is about 5 g. Therefore, according to the requirement of 80-100 g of protein per day for chronic cholecystitis, patients with chronic cholecystitis can actually consume as much protein as or even more than normal people.
However, it should be reminded here that ordinary foods such as rice and flour also contain protein, so patients with cholecystitis should not desperately try to supplement protein and increase their gastrointestinal burden.
However, there is another problem with eggs: cholesterol.
One egg contains roughly 200 mg of cholesterol, and cholesterol intake is limited to less than 300 mg for patients with chronic cholecystitis, so one egg per day is fine for most people. However, if an egg can cause abdominal pain, it is recommended to eat less.
3.Can I put oil in fried food?
The vegetable oil we normally use is lighter than water, so 1 mL of vegetable oil contains 0.9 to 1 g of fat, and the daily fat intake of patients with chronic cholecystitis is controlled at 40 to 50 g. Therefore, it is obviously wrong not to eat oil for cholecystitis!
You can put oil in your stir-fry, just be careful to put less, and be careful to distribute it evenly over three meals to avoid excessive fat intake in a single sitting, which can trigger an acute attack of cholecystitis.
Chronic cholecystitis patients dietary advice
1, the amount of protein should be moderate
The right amount of protein can promote the contraction of the gallbladder, which is conducive to the discharge of bile and the recovery of the disease.
Patients with chronic cholecystitis have protein requirements that are comparable to or slightly higher than those of the normal population, with a daily recommended protein intake of 80 to 100 g.
2, the intake of fat and cholesterol should be less
The more fat and cholesterol, the easier it is to stimulate the contraction of the gallbladder and aggravate abdominal pain; moreover, fat and cholesterol will make the bile sticky and make it easier to form stones.
The daily fat intake should be controlled at 40-50 g, and the cholesterol intake should be less than 300 mg per day.
3, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, supplement dietary fiber
Vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber can not only supplement vitamins, but also reduce the formation of gallstones, reduce cholesterol absorption and alleviate the symptoms of cholecystitis.
4.Increase the amount of water you drink
Drinking more water can dilute bile, promote bile discharge and reduce the chance of gallstones formation.
5.Rational cooking
Boiling, steaming, stewing, braising and other methods should be used to reduce frying, deep-frying, baking and other cooking methods.
Use vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, etc.
6.Other
Eat less and more meals, regular ration, avoid overeating, quit smoking and drinking.
