Middle-aged people around 40 years old often have different degrees of neuromodulation and metabolic disorders due to the pressure of work and changes in lifestyle, which affect the normal contraction and diastole of the gallbladder and make the excretion of bile uncomfortable. Middle-aged people who are slowly gaining weight are more likely to stimulate strong contraction of the gallbladder due to fat metabolism disorders. If there is also infection, indigestion, stone formation will be more likely to trigger the onset of cholecystitis.
In addition, pre-menopausal middle-aged women, because of endocrine changes, often affect the secretion and regulation of bile, the chance of getting cholecystitis is also more than men of the same age.
A. How to pay attention to diet?
1, usually drink more water.
2, eat more fruits and vegetables.
3, taste as light as possible, eat less deeply processed food, and high sugar food.
4, do not eat high-fat, fried and irritating food, such as fatty pork, etc.
Second, what are the symptoms of cholecystitis attack?
When acute cholecystitis attacks, the clinical symptoms are very typical and obvious, mainly manifested as acute stomach pain.
Acute cholecystitis often develops after eating fatty foods, mainly manifested as severe pain in the right upper abdomen, like strangulation, with increasing pain in bursts, and sometimes pain in the right shoulder or right back, followed by nausea, vomiting, fever in severe illness, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) in some patients with particularly severe illness, as well as symptoms of systemic infection and poisoning.
Chronic cholecystitis is generally less typical, and most patients are only aware of it after ultrasound examination.
How should chronic cholecystitis patients eat?
1, the amount of protein should be moderate
The right amount of protein can promote the contraction of the gallbladder, which is conducive to the discharge of bile and the recovery of the disease.
Chronic cholecystitis patients have protein requirements that are comparable to or slightly higher than those of the normal population, with a daily recommended protein intake of 80 to 100g.
2, the intake of fat and cholesterol should be less
The more fat and cholesterol, the easier it is to stimulate the contraction of the gallbladder to aggravate abdominal pain; moreover, fat and cholesterol will make the bile sticky and more likely to form stones.
The daily fat intake should be controlled at 40-50g, and cholesterol intake should be less than 300mg per day.
3, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, supplement dietary fiber
Vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber can not only supplement vitamins, but also reduce the formation of gallstones, reduce cholesterol absorption, and reduce the symptoms of cholecystitis.
4.Increase the amount of water you drink
Drinking more water can dilute bile, promote bile discharge and reduce the chance of gallstones formation.
5.Rational cooking
Boiling, steaming, stewing, braising and other methods should be used to reduce frying, deep-frying, baking and other cooking methods. Use vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, etc.
6.Other
Eat less and more meals, regular ration, avoid overeating, quit smoking and drinking.
Will cholecystitis become cancer?
More than 96% of gallbladder cancer patients are accompanied by chronic cholecystitis and gallstones.
Patients with the following conditions need to pay high attention.
1. elderly patients over 50 years old, patients with recurrent attacks of chronic cholecystitis, especially women
2. chronic cholecystitis with longer disease duration (>5 years) and recurrent abdominal pain, especially those with atrophic cholecystitis (i.e. gallbladder size less than normal) or filled type stones.
