What do patients with liver disease need to pay attention to in terms of diet and life? Can I eat beef and lamb? This is a question that is often consulted in daily outpatient clinics. Here, I will summarize and reply uniformly. First of all, it should be noted that liver disease is a chronic disease that requires a long period of treatment, and there may be new changes in the course of treatment (such as drug resistance, side effects of drugs), so it is very important to see your doctor regularly for follow-up and regular checkups. All patients with liver disease should abstain from alcohol; secondly, try not to use drugs that damage the liver (e.g. painkillers, anti-rheumatic drugs, a few antibiotics). Also, try to have regular rest and life and stay up less! There are many types of liver diseases, the most common being chronic hepatitis (including hepatitis B and C), followed by fatty liver, and then cirrhosis and liver cancer. Due to the specificity of the condition, different types of liver disease patients have different dietary requirements. 1, chronic hepatitis patients, if the liver function has been maintained normal, there is no need for special contraindications in the daily diet, even beef, mutton, dog meat, chili peppers, these “hot” food, can also eat some (but should not be eaten every day). 2, chronic hepatitis patients, if the liver function has been maintained normal, there is no need for special contraindications in the daily diet. 2, chronic hepatitis if liver function is not normal, the diet should be based on light, such as rice and noodles, appropriate desserts, vegetables, fruits, fruit juice, and high-quality animal protein (meat), appropriate supplementation of vitamin B and vitamin C; available coix seeds, adzuki beans porridge, or the use of Xihuangcao, Yin Chen and other traditional Chinese medicine soup, can play a role in protecting the liver to reduce enzymes. If there is serious liver damage or severe jaundice, you need to seek medical attention and properly control the intake of meat and soy products.3. Fatty liver is often related to excess nutrition and body fat, so fatty liver patients need to pay more attention to their diet. Diet control and conditioning, together with exercise, is the basis of fatty liver treatment. If you cannot control your diet and do not exercise, the medication will not achieve the best therapeutic effect. Fatty liver patients should try to avoid fried food, aspect food, chocolate, all kinds of sweet drinks, eat less sweets, do not eat late at night, eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, rice and noodles and other staple foods seven or eight minutes full per meal, do not add meals at will, do not eat snacks. 4, the diet of patients with cirrhosis: esophageal or gastric fundic varices obvious patients, should avoid eating raw, hard, rough, fried and spicy and other irritating food, eating Should not be too fast, too fast, too full. If there is significant impairment of liver function or liver disease and encephalopathy, attention should also be paid to restrict or even prohibit protein diet (such as various kinds of meat, soy products, eggs, etc.), and the diet should be as little or no salt as possible when there is ascites.5. The dietary principles of liver cancer patients are similar to those of cirrhosis patients. In addition, food stews such as turtle, ganoderma lucidum and wild mushrooms are better for patients with cirrhosis or liver cancer. The above are just some basic principles of diet for different liver disease patients. Everyone’s condition is different, so there may be some special notes that may not be applicable to everyone, so if there is still something special you need to know, please consult your doctor in person.
