Foods can be chosen according to the patient’s ability to eat. Foods should be soft and rotten, less sugar, less fat and more protein, with appropriate supplements of calcium, iron, water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, and yam, barley, and monkey mushrooms can be chosen to boost immunity.
Food can be diversified, and food can be selected according to the patient’s eating ability. The following are some cautions: 1. Patients with advanced gastric cancer are prone to protein-energy malnutrition and even cachexia due to reduced food intake and impaired digestion and absorption. After most of the gastric resection or radiotherapy, patients are prone to nausea, vomiting, anorexia, etc. At the same time, because of reduced gastric acid secretion, lack of endogenous factor and R protein, which affects digestion and absorption, and fat malabsorption, sex needs to be supplemented with adequate iron, calcium, water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins.
2. The dumping syndrome (feeling of fullness after a slight meal, followed by epigastric distention, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, palpitations, sweating, vertigo, weakness, etc.) is likely to occur after total or subtotal gastric resection. The presence of these symptoms should limit the amount of fluid, increase the proportion of protein, not too much sugar, small and frequent meals, and lying down after meals.
3. Choose dietary nutrition after full consideration of the patient’s ability to eat. If there is no significant obstruction and the digestive and absorption functions are still good, choose a general diet and soft diet. If there is incomplete obstruction that affects eating, choose a semi-liquid diet and supplement it with enteral nutrition preparations. Also note that cooking methods should be based on steaming, boiling, stewing, and braising, reducing the amount of oil and keeping the food soft and rotten.
4. Choose yam, barley, and monkey head mushrooms to boost immunity, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, avoid moldy, contaminated, hard, rough, fibrous, greasy, sticky and indigestible foods, and avoid raw, pickled, fried, and smoked foods.
