Living and eating habits for patients with gallstone disease

  Gallstone disease (including gallbladder stones and bile duct stones) has a high incidence, especially bile duct stones with low surgical removal rate, high recurrence rate, repeated surgery brings great physical and psychological hazards and huge medical costs to patients, so many patients have a lot of postoperative concerns and quality of life is reduced, in clinical practice it is found that many ideas and worries are unnecessary, I hope this article can help some patients to relieve some psychological burden.  Gallstones include: gallbladder stones, mostly cholesterol, and bile duct stones, mostly bile pigment stones, or mixed cholesterol and bile pigment stones.  2, the cause of cholesterol stones: cholesterol increases beyond a certain percentage, can not be completely dissolved thus forming crystalline deposits, gradually forming stones; bile excretion mechanism is affected by diet, often do not eat breakfast, the gallbladder does not receive contraction signals, bile increases the storage time in the gallbladder, more likely to form stones, so patients with gallbladder stones need to pay attention to: a eat breakfast every day, b improve the structure of the diet. Reduce the intake of high cholesterol foods such as egg yolk, animal offal, etc.; c reduce the cooking method of food such as frying, etc.; d eat more vegetables and fruits and drink more water. Avoid stimulating foods. These precautions are not just for gallstone patients, a healthy lifestyle is needed for everyone.  3, bile duct stones: Mostly related to biliary tract bacterial infection, biliary foreign body (roundworm), biliary stricture, bile stagnation, congenital anomalies, and each person’s genetic constitution of impassability, and other biliary tract internal environment.  After surgery, you can take some liver and bile cleansing, or deoxycholic acid drugs; in terms of diet, there is really nothing special to pay attention to, except for the same matters as gallbladder stone patients.  Most of the food therapy can be tried, but the effect is not exact, the diet needs to be balanced, so you can not be worried about gallstones every day. A happy mood is a right that everyone should enjoy.
