Whether patients with appendicitis can eat yam porridge depends on the severity of the appendiceal infection, whether the patient takes surgical treatment and whether the gastrointestinal function is fully recovered after surgery, and other factors for objective analysis. First, if the degree of infection of the appendix is relatively mild, only accompanied by acute simple appendicitis. Patients choose conservative anti-infection treatment, and after active anti-infection treatment, abdominal pain and distension are gradually relieved, and gastrointestinal function is completely restored. A small amount of yam porridge can be eaten to supplement the nutrition needed by the body, which is conducive to the recovery of the patient’s condition and will not cause serious effects. Second, if the patient’s appendix infection degree is more serious, the abdominal cavity with more fluid, pus, patients using surgical treatment to remove the appendix, post-operative gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered. If eating yam porridge will cause the burden of gastrointestinal function to increase, which is not conducive to faster recovery of the patient’s condition.
