What liquid foods should bedridden patients eat

Bedridden patients should eat easily digestible, highly nutritious fluids, including rice soup, fish soup, chicken soup, bone soup, etc., to replenish the energy needed by the body and at the same time reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Bedridden patients are less active and the peristaltic function of the gastrointestinal tract is reduced, so they need to eat easily digestible liquid food, such as millet soup, fish soup, chicken soup and bone soup, which contain high protein and trace elements and vitamins, and are easy to swallow and digest, which can help patients absorb and reduce the occurrence of indigestion. When the patient is in better condition and the gastrointestinal symptoms are mild, the whole liquid diet can be changed to semi-liquid diet, such as seafood porridge, vegetable puree, etc. It should be noted that if gastrointestinal factors cause the patient to be bedridden, the diet should be reduced to liquid foods such as milk, soy milk and tofu brain. Milk is not easy to digest, and soybean products can produce gas after eating, causing abdominal distension and increasing the burden on the stomach and intestines, which is not conducive to physical recovery. When fracture patients are bedridden, they need to supplement calcium and reduce greasy diet. They can eat light fish soup and bone soup, and reduce the amount of oil when making them to avoid the risk of blood clots in the lower limbs due to elevated blood lipids.
