Today, we gave patients with gastric cancer presentation in gastric cancer patients with gastric cancer how to eat, so that patients with gastric cancer can eat their way to health and a speedy recovery.

Patients with gastric cancer stomach after subtotal or total gastrectomy, both should pay attention to nutritional supplement, but also must be integrated with a patient's own tolerance to the dietary situation and the stomach, where appropriate, adjust the volume and types of food intake. In short, the diet should be nutritious and digestible, under normal circumstances, the patient should follow the following principles:

Eat small meals often

Radical resection for gastric cancer remains only a small part of the stomach after total gastrectomy or a jejunal on behalf of the stomach, eating suffer significantly reduced compared with the original, only the increase in the number of meals in order to make up for insufficient food intake to meet the body's nutrient needs.

Liquid diet with rice soup, a bowl of soup, vegetable soup, lotus root starch is appropriate, should be avoided to induce flatulence food. Semi-liquid diet should choose high-protein, high-calorie, high vitamin, low-fat, fresh and easy to digest food. The best source of animal protein is fish, because fish is not only rich in protein, amino acid composition and the ratio between them are related to the human body similar to the utilization of fish protein up to 96%, fish and unsaturated fats the higher fatty acids, and easy digestion and absorption of the body, so we encourage eating fish, such as yellow croaker, carp and so on. Into the general diet should be more after eating vegetables, fruits, and other cellulose-containing foods that are high in order to maintain smooth stool and promote excretion of toxins.

Eat dessert

(1) excessive intake of sugars could easily cause a hyperosmolar dumping syndrome (caused by gastrectomy symptoms after eating). Therefore, the sugar should be properly controlled, carbohydrate energy supply should be 50% of total calories to 60%, to avoid excessive intake of sweet foods, should be based on starch-based foods. (2) The energy contribution from fat less than 35% of the total energy and avoid eating Meat fat, should be selected digestible fat absorption, such as vegetable oil, butter, egg yolk and so on. A small number of patients with steatorrhea after the event (defined as diarrhea pulled out a large number of fat particles), should reduce fat intake. (3) should be added that high-protein diet, select digestible, essential amino acids the full range of food such as fish, eggs, shrimp, lean meat, soy and other proteins could account for the total energy for 15% to 20%, such as a weight 70 kg person, a daily intake of 70 to 140 grams of protein.

The lack of gastric function after grinding, so the teeth chewing function should play a more important role. For the more rough to digest food, should chewing food thoroughly. To eat soup or drink, should be noted that separate the dry thin, and as far as fasting or postprandial 30 Fenzhong into soups, in order to prevent excessive emission of the impact of food digestion and absorption. After the meal break should be in lateral position to extend the food emptying time to completely digest and absorb.
