Most TB patients will be in a state of nutritional imbalance during their illness, so TB patients should cooperate with their doctors while using chemotherapy, but also in terms of diet, to increase nutrition. A reasonable nutritional diet is an important part of the treatment and rehabilitation process for TB patients that cannot be ignored to compensate for the depletion caused by the disease and to promote repair. The following is a brief description of the dietary considerations for tuberculosis patients. A. Dietary principles for tuberculosis patients High calorie, high protein, high vitamin, easy to digest, and adequate mineral supplementation to enhance resistance and compensate for the high consumption caused by the disease. As the most common symptoms of tuberculosis include cough, sputum, hemoptysis, fever and night sweats, these symptoms can cause serious depletion of tissue protein and heat energy, while the healing of lesions also requires a large amount of protein, vitamins and minerals. Therefore, patients should pay attention to the following points in diet and heat supply than normal people: 1. A patient weighing 50 to 60 kilograms should eat 2-3 eggs, about 2 taels of lean meat, 200 to 400 milliliters of milk, and an appropriate amount of fish and shrimp 1 to 2 times a week. 2, to supply sufficient heat: because tuberculosis patients often have hypothermia or hyperthermia, caloric energy consumption is higher than normal, daily per kilogram body Ying should supply 40-50 kcal of caloric energy. Diet should be diversified and coarse and fine grains should be reasonably matched. Require staple foods need about 400-500 g per day, oil 25-30 g per day. 3, to eat food rich in multivitamins and calcium: eat about 1 pound of fresh vegetables per day, of which more than half a pound should be green vegetables. Such as bok choy, rape, celery, tomatoes, carrots, etc.. Can then eat some appropriate fruit, such as apples, pears, apricots, citrus, strawberries, peaches, etc.. The amount of food consumed should depend on individual conditions. The calcification of tuberculosis lesions requires a lot of calcium, so in addition to drinking some milk and eating some vegetables every day to supplement calcium, you should also eat some seafood, soy products, etc. 4, tuberculosis patients often have cough, cough phlegm, sputum with blood and other symptoms, at this time, in addition to giving a nutritious diet, you can also use some almonds, jellyfish, water chestnuts, lilies, pond root, lotus seeds, pears, white fungus, walnuts and other cough and phlegm, nourishing Yin lung food. 5.When there are symptoms of hemoptysis, the supply of iron should be increased appropriately, such as encouraging patients to eat more green leafy vegetables, various kinds of coarse and fine grains with food, beans and soy products, animal blood, liver, lean meat, raisins, fungus, dates, etc. 6, tuberculosis patients tend to poor appetite, so the diet should be light, easy to digest, a small number of meals, do not be partial food, food diversity, meat and vegetables, should also be color, aroma, taste, to stimulate the patient’s appetite, increase the amount of diet. Cooking methods are generally steam, boil, stew, boil, etc., frying, deep-frying, explosion, braising, roasting, frying and other methods are not appropriate, in the selection of nutrient-rich food, pay special attention to taboo, ban smoking, alcohol, spicy, phlegm-assisted fire fennel, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, onion, ginger, chili, dog meat, mutton, smoke and dry burn and other foods should not eat or eat less. When the condition improves and then eat other nutrient-rich foods. 7, tuberculosis patients taking drugs during the diet should also pay attention to avoid eating. Patients taking isoniazid should not eat sea fish, animal liver, lentils, eggplant, bananas, pineapples, yeast, wine, beer and other foods, which are rich in tyramine, and isoniazid is an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase, which can reduce the activity of monoamine oxidase, causing tyramine in the body can not be decomposed and accumulate poisoning, resulting in flushing, headache and dizziness, abdominal pain and diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, skin Itchy skin, erythema all over the body, irritability, increased blood pressure and other symptoms; oral rifampin patients should not drink alcohol, tea, milk, soy milk and rice soup, because these foods can reduce the absorption of rifampin and reduce the efficacy. 8, for patients with drug-related liver disease due to the side effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs, they should avoid eating foods with too much heat, such as fried and deep-fried foods, chocolate, etc., to prevent liver fatty degeneration and hinder the repair of liver cells.
