Poor digestion of meals after cholecystectomy is mostly caused by the inability of bile to be emptied into the intestines with the regularity of eating, resulting in weakened digestion of fat. It can be relieved by light diet, small meals and proper exercise, and should be consulted if necessary.
1. Light diet: After cholecystectomy, patients should pay attention to light diet, high nutrition, can eat noodles, porridge, fruits and vegetables, etc., and at the same time pay attention to chewing and swallowing slowly, which is helpful for digestion.
2. Eat less and more meals: Because the gastrointestinal function of patients after gallbladder removal for fat digestion is weak, so you can eat a small number of meals to reduce the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract, so as to alleviate the phenomenon of poor digestion.
3. Appropriate exercise: After cholecystectomy, patients can do appropriate physical exercise, such as jogging, playing Tai Chi, climbing, swimming, etc., which can improve the body’s resistance and immunity, and is also beneficial to the enhancement of gastrointestinal function.
If the gastrointestinal digestive function is still poor after the patient changes diet and lifestyle, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and not blindly self-medication.
