Dietary considerations for acute cholecystitis
1 Fasting during acute attack. In order to make the gallbladder have a full rest and relieve the pain during the attack, we should fast during the acute attack. Parenteral nutrition can be used to supplement nutrition, pay attention to drinking more water, and pay attention to supplementing potassium and sodium in water. After the illness is relieved, you can give a proper amount of liquid food such as rice soup, fruit juice and lotus root starch.

2 Restricting fat intake In order to avoid stimulating gallbladder contraction, patients should be restricted in their intake of fatty foods. If the patient receives surgical treatment, the fat in the diet before and after the operation should be limited to 20-30 grams. With the improvement of the disease, if the patient's tolerance to oil is acceptable, it can be increased to 40-50 grams. With the improvement of acute cholecystitis and the disappearance of acute symptoms, we can change from fat-free diet to low-fat diet.

Diets in protein and protein can stimulate bile secretion, and may also cause gallbladder contraction and aggravate pain. But at the same time, adequate protein can supplement the loss of the body, maintain the nitrogen balance, enhance the immunity of the body, and help to repair the normal function of hungry hepatocytes in recovery period. Therefore, the daily intake of protein should be appropriate, and the intake of high-quality protein such as fish, shrimp, lean meat, chicken and tofu should be controlled at about 80-100g.

4 High carbohydrate intake Patients with acute cholecystitis should focus on high carbohydrate intake in their daily diet. A large number of digestible carbohydrates in food can promote the production of liver glycogen and supply sufficient calories. Better foods are honey, lotus root starch, potatoes, apples, pears and so on. You can eat about 350-450 grams of carbohydrates every day. However, for obese patients and patients with coronary heart disease or hyperlipidemia, attention should be paid to limiting the intake of staple foods and desserts and controlling high calories.
