No metabolic process in the body, including the digestive system, can pass without the participation of the liver, and it is impossible to imagine the liver without bile and vice versa.
In diseases of the gallbladder, the diet of a particular person is of great importance. For example, acute cholecystitis requires the consumption of liquid foods (light cream soups, fruit juices with water, unsweetened tea), porridge should be well cooked and ground.
When chronic cholecystitis is diagnosed, the patient is prescribed a less sparing diet. He should eat often, but less. Carbohydrate-rich foods should be completely excluded from the menu because they help with bile stasis. Foods containing protein should be taken, they are necessary for the excretion of bile. Eggs can be eaten, but the yolks should be excluded. Fats should be present in the menu, but difficult to digest, you should completely lose. Small amounts of butter or oil are allowed, and for lard, beef tallow - absolutely forget it!
The strictest diet is applied after bile duct surgery. Then, all vegetable and animal fats are excluded from the menu. Doctors recommend a vegetarian diet, but without fruits and vegetables rich in saturated essential oils. Meat (beef or chicken) is allowed in limited quantities, but it must be well cooked, fat-free and without added broth. Boiled and lean fish can be eaten. Drink about 3 liters of fluid.
You happen to say, "Something hits me in the liver," grabbing my right side. In fact, that's how the pain begins.
Nowadays, people take advantage of the convenience of "fast food", and this is the reason for the insufficient intake of quality dishes. And since we can't look at the digestive system without the gallbladder, let's see what menu should be offered in case of bile disease. Doctors have found in adolescents predisposed to this disease, biliary dyskinesia (folding of the bile ducts), which contributes to stagnation of the organ and the formation of stones. Treatment and prevention is best to start with a diet menu.
Nutrition in biliary diseasesrequires a sharp restriction of products that lead to the formation of stones (concentrated meat broths, smoked foods, pastries, canned foods, spicy spices, carbonated beverages, butter, etc. It is better to cook dishes, the menu is light. Yes to take small portions, but often. Do not overeat. After the meal is nice to lie down on the right side for about 10-15 minutes because this position helps in better digestion and excretion of bile.
in order to prevent diseases of the gallbladder, you should take:
- lean meat
- "yesterday's" bread (unleavened)
- baked dishes, cottage cheese
- steamed omelet - steamed
fish (river)
- Nutrition in cholecystectomy (removed bile)
- What to "feed" the bile
- Cholangitis
