Let's look at the diet rules. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic colitis disease with unknown causes. Lesions are mainly confined to colonic mucosa, mainly ulcers. Its main symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea, and stool is often accompanied by blood pus and mucus. Stool 2-4 times a day, more than 10 times in severe cases. Patients often show malnutrition, emaciation and anemia. Because ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease that needs long-term treatment, it is very important to adjust nutrition and diet. The general principle is a diet with high energy, high protein, high vitamins, less oil and less residue.
1. High energy and high protein can make up for the nutrient consumption caused by long-term diarrhea, and gradually increase the supply according to the digestion, absorption and tolerance of patients. Generally speaking, it provides 40 kilocalories of heat per kilogram of body weight every day. Protein's daily weight per kilogram 1.5g, of which 50% should be high-quality protein.
2. Vitamin inorganic salts should be enough to make up for the nutritional loss caused by diarrhea.
3. Limit fat and dietary fiber: Diarrhea is often accompanied by fat malabsorption, and severe cases are accompanied by fatty diarrhea. Therefore, we should limit the amount of dietary fat and eat less greasy food and cooking methods. For patients with fatty diarrhea, medium-chain fatty acid grease can be used. Avoid eating foods containing irritation and high fiber, such as spicy food, sweet potatoes, radishes, celery, raw vegetables and fruits, and irritating onions, ginger, garlic, coarse grains, dried beans, etc.
4. Eat less and eat more: In order to reduce the burden on the intestines, we should supplement the nutritional intake by eating less and eating more.
5. Diet: 1. Use liquid food or semi-liquid food with little residue before and after acute attack or after operation. Food content: rice soup, steamed eggs, flour and milk are generally not recommended. Vegetables and fruits must be banned. Can be made into vegetable water, vegetable puree, fruit juice, fruit puree, jelly, etc. Less residue and half flow can be made of high-quality protein fish, lean meat and eggs into soft and less oily foods, such as fish balls, lotus seed porridge, shredded chicken Longxu Noodles, bread, etc. 2. For those who are seriously ill and can't take it orally, tube feeding or intravenous nutrition support can be used, and natural food will be taken orally gradually after the nutritional status improves.
