1. Irritating food on an empty stomach: In liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension will enlarge the portal vein of the lower esophagus, gastric fundus and liver, often accompanied by chylous gastric mucosa and downy mildew. If patients eat irritating foods such as peppers, it will promote gastric mucosal damage and cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
2. It is forbidden to take drugs indiscriminately: due to the decrease of liver function during liver cirrhosis, the whole detoxification process of drugs in the liver is greatly slowed down, which will cause accumulation in the body. So try to avoid unsafe medication.
3. Control alcohol and foods containing irritants: You should abstain from greasy and fatty diets with high cholesterol. When esophageal varices, avoid eating hard objects and give liquid food or semi-liquid food; When the upper digestive tract bleeds, it should be temporarily fasted and filled with venous blood vessels. Protein intake should be strictly restricted in patients with coma at the end of liver cirrhosis. People with edema or ascites should follow the doctor's advice with little or no salt.
4. Too much sugar is forbidden: when liver cirrhosis occurs, liver cells are damaged, and the function of storing monosaccharides into glycogen and converting some monosaccharides into fat in the liver has been significantly reduced. At this time, if patients eat a lot of sugar for a long time, patients with hepatic diabetes and mild fatty liver will appear, which makes it difficult to improve the therapeutic effect of liver cirrhosis.
5, too much salt: liver damage in patients with liver cirrhosis weakens the antidiuretic effect, thus reducing the amount of urination, leaving salt in the body, and reducing blood protein is prone to edema or ascites. Therefore, patients with liver cirrhosis should strictly control the supply of edible salt.
6. It is forbidden to eat solid ingredients: because portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis leads to the thickening and softening of the capillaries under the esophagus and the bottom of the stomach, and the unsmooth ingredients are swallowed into the stomach without eating less and eating more meals, which is likely to puncture or scratch the capillaries and cause internal bleeding. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most common adverse reactions and causes of death in patients with liver cirrhosis, so we must not be careless.
