The general dietary principle of gastric cancer is to adopt digestible food, food rich in protein and fat with rotten cooking, and minimize the content of coarse fiber in food. It must be noted that indigestible rough food can aggravate the patient’s condition.
The common comorbidities of gastric cancer are.
(1) Dumping syndrome: due to the loss of the pylorus to the stomach’s ability to control food, the sudden entry into the small intestine after eating a large amount of food makes the patient feel fullness in the upper abdomen, discomfort, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, sweating, palpitation, weakness, slightly high blood pressure and pale bread, which can be relieved by resting for 10-20 minutes in general.
(2) Hypoglycemia: Due to the glucose in the small intestine after the meal must be sucked too fast, resulting in a temporary increase in blood sugar, stimulating the increase in pancreatic secretion, followed by out hypoglycemia. Patients show palpitations, dizziness, cold sweat and other symptoms, mostly occurring 2-3 hours after eating, slightly eating or drinking glucose water can alleviate the symptoms.
(3) Weight loss: As the stomach contents become smaller after affecting the gastric feeding and digestive functions, improper feeding methods can cause nutrient and calorie deficiencies, causing the patient’s weight loss.
(4) Anemia: Mostly seen in iron deficiency anemia, due to reduced gastric secretion and intestinal fluid reflux, which significantly reduces gastric acid and directly affects the absorption of oral iron, resulting in anemia.
The above-mentioned comorbidities can be completely prevented by rational eating.
Patients with major gastric resection should eat less and more meals, 6 to 7 times a day. Regular and quantitative meals can make the stomach not empty and gradually adapt to the digestive function of the residual stomach. Less and more meals should be the important diet system for patients after gastrectomy. Separate dry and thin food, in order to make the food stay in the stomach longer, eat only drier food and do not drink water during meals, and can drink water after 30 minutes of meals, thus avoiding food being rushed into the small intestine quickly and can pass through the small intestine slowly, and promote further absorption of food. Limit carbohydrate intake to prevent dumping syndrome. Gradually increase the amount and type of food. Patients should gradually change from postoperative liquid or semi-liquid food to soft food or regular meals, and increase the pattern according to the patient’s eating habits to improve the patient’s appetite and help the patient’s recovery.

The relationship between gastric cancer and diet and its prevention and treatment are for readers’ reference.
The relationship between food and nutritional factors and the development of gastric cancer
Epidemiology and animal experiments confirm that the occurrence of gastric cancer is closely related to diet and eating habits, which should not be underestimated.
Although these foods are rich in protein, the more fresh the food is, the more secondary amines it contains. And cured meat, cured fish, pickles (kimchi) sometimes add coloring agent sodium nitrite, which increases the precursors of nitrosamines in the stomach easy to synthesize nitrosamines that can cause stomach cancer.
Smoked, fried, deep-fried food: smoked food can increase the carcinogenic substance 3 4 benzpyrene. According to research analysis, 1 kg of smoked pork and beef contains benzpyrene equivalent to 125 cigarettes, and fish fried for 2 to 4 minutes can increase carcinogenic substances by 4 times. Foreign information reported that the residents of Iceland to smoked beef and smoked fish as the main food, the local incidence of digestive tract cancer (mainly stomach cancer) is three times higher than people elsewhere.
The relative risk of gastric cancer is high for those who consume high salt: high salt can destroy the mucosal barrier of stomach, which makes cancerous substances easily interact with gastric mucosa, so the incidence of gastric cancer is related to the average daily salt intake per person. Drinking strong alcohol can also destroy the gastric mucosal barrier and increase the incidence of gastric cancer. Heavy smoking (more than six cigarettes per day) can increase thiocyanate in saliva and promote the synthesis of nitrosamides in the stomach. In addition, frequent consumption of hot food and overeating can easily damage the gastric mucosa and induce cancer.
Early signs and common symptoms of gastric cancer
Stomach cancer is a common malignant tumor, and the age of prevalence is just at the important “juncture” of entering longevity, 50-60 years old, so it is a “roadblock” for human beings to enter old age. So, how to detect gastric cancer at an early stage?
Stomach cancer is quietly mixed with many stomach diseases, so it is not easy to detect it at an early stage. Especially, the early symptoms of stomach cancer are similar to many other stomach diseases, so even if you seek medical help, you may not think it is cancer, thus delaying the disease and missing the time for early treatment. According to medical researchers, early signs of stomach cancer include: inexplicable loss of appetite or upper abdominal discomfort; frequent upper abdominal distension, which is relieved after repeated warming and is especially obvious after eating; irregular vague pain or brief cramps in the upper abdomen; frequent nausea, constipation or diarrhea after eating too much; abnormal aversion to meat; unexplained weight loss, tiredness and weakness; mild anemia for which no reason can be found. These signs alternate repeatedly in one or several places within a certain period of time. What’s more, when these signs are found and mistaken for general gastric diseases and the symptoms do not ease after treatment, you should be extra vigilant, it may be stomach cancer!
It is worth mentioning that if a possible precancerous lesion such as chronic gastritis or gastric ulcer turns into gastric cancer, one of the obvious features of the early signs is that the pattern or symptoms of the original gastric disease have changed to a larger extent. The common symptoms of stomach cancer include stomach pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, heartburn, bleeding, black stool, diarrhea, etc. Patients with these symptoms should go to hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Dietary nutrition prevention and treatment methods of stomach cancer
Fresh food should be chosen: try to buy, cook and eat now, so as to avoid the formation of nitrite caused by bacterial contamination due to unfresh instruments or leftover food overnight. Food preservation is preferable to the refrigerator.
Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits: because fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins A, E, K, C, folic acid and fiber, etc. Soybean skin and its products have chickpea alkaloids, mustard has carrot sulfur, citrus contains citrus flavonoid and Chuan Chen Piin, tomatoes and strawberries contain acidic phytochemicals, and garlic has allyl sulfur, etc. have good anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects. Eat less or do not eat pickled, smoked, fried and deep-fried meat and fish food; cooking can be done by stewing, steaming, boiling, burning, braising and other methods. The diet should be light, soft and easy to digest. Reduce the intake of salt: the amount of salt per person should be controlled within 6g per day.
Adopt a balanced diet and diversify food to ensure the supply of various nutrients, because cancer patients must maintain adequate nutrition as their bodies are greatly depleted during treatment. Especially, foods rich in high quality protein, such as fish, meat, dairy, beans and their products, should be increased. It is better to eat less and more meals at regular intervals, and not to eat too much, which will increase the burden of gastrointestinal tract.
