Dietary precautions after painless gastroscopy include diet time, diet type, and contraindication type.
1. Diet time: Because anesthesia will be used in the process of painless gastroscopy, so it is not possible to eat immediately after the operation to avoid choking and coughing, generally need to wait for two hours after the anesthetic metabolism is complete, then you can start to eat.
2. Diet type: first of all, you can drink warm water, if there is no choking, you can eat soft food such as millet porridge, etc., generally 1 to 2 days after the normal diet can be resumed.
3. Type of contraindication: Do not eat rough and hard food within one day after the painless gastroscopy, so as not to cause damage to the esophageal mucosa and gastric mucosa. In addition, in order to avoid interfering with the observation of the color of the stool, you should not consume food that may affect the color of the stool such as coffee, blood tofu, etc. within two days after the painless gastroscopy.
There may be other dietary precautions after painless gastroscopy that are related to the patient’s underlying condition, so you can consult your physician at the hospital for more information.
