What should not be eaten for cholecystitis

1. Foods containing fat

The onset of bile duct diseases often occurs at night or in the morning after a full meal (especially high-calorie food). This is because the digestion of fat requires a large amount of bile, and patients with cholecystitis have pain when the gallbladder contracts rapidly due to inflammation of the gallbladder and the presence of gallstones in the gallbladder. If the gallstones block it, the pain will be more severe and accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Patients with chronic cholecystitis will experience dull pain after eating more fat, and have symptoms of indigestion, such as hiccups, abdominal distension, and aversion to greasy food. Therefore, the patient's daily body fat content should be limited to 40-50 grams, and white meat, fried eggs, animal oil, unsalted butter, cream, etc. should be avoided, and cooking oil is best.

Acidic fruits such as vinegar, bayberry wine, hawthorn, lemon, etc. can stimulate the stomach and duodenum to secrete cholecystokinin, which can cause the gallbladder to contract and cause biliary colic.

3. Low-temperature or over-temperature ingredients

Overheated food or soup, cold food such as ice cream, iced drinks, iced coffee and food just taken out of the refrigerator can cause spasm of the bile duct muscles after eating, resulting in dull pain or severe pain in the gallbladder area. Therefore, patients with gallbladder disease should avoid eating cold or overheated food.

4. Sugar
