What are the dietary contraindications for meningitis

Meningitis diet should pay attention to the fact that stimulating foods can cause vasodilatation, leading to increased pressure in the meninges and aggravating the patient’s symptoms; meningitis patients can increase intracranial pressure when straining to defecate, which can lead to brain herniation, while eating more softened foods can prevent constipation; drinking alcohol can cause vasodilatation and reduce the body’s resistance. Therefore, meningitis patients should avoid stimulating food, indigestible food, and alcohol; at the same time, they should reduce exercise, keep rest, and eat more light and soft foods rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients to increase their resistance and ability to fight diseases.
