After a cholecystectomy, you need to adhere to a certain diet all your life. The fact is that after the operation to remove the gallbladder , a person no longer has a reservoir where bile accumulates, and in the bile duct it can not be much. So the patient must now eat often and fractionally, so that they are constantly unloaded. If bile is not removed from there regularly, it accumulates, stagnation and stone formation occur.
Thus, the nutrition after removal of the gallbladder should be fractional, at least six times a day, should not contain refractory fat, which is found in animal products. Food should be low-fat because the gallbladder secretes the enzymes necessary for the digestion of fats. And after its removal, their number decreases sharply.
Food with a removed gallbladder should consist of steamed food (using stewing or boiling). This is due to the fact that when the product is fried, it retains elements that contribute to the activation of the secretion of digestive juices and also contributes to irritation of the intestinal mucosa. And this is unacceptable if there is no gall bladder.
There are a number of products that a human diet should consist of after a cholecystectomy. So, nutrition after removal of the gallbladder should include:
- The first dishes, which are prepared on the basis of a weak vegetable broth with the addition of cereals.
- Second courses, the basis of which consists of lean beef or chicken.
- Fish dishes: the frequency of their consumption should not exceed two days a week. The most useful type of seafood is sea fish, because it promotes the absorption of fats.
- Dishes from cottage cheese (casseroles, pudding, cottage cheese), which are best consumed for breakfast or dinner.
- It is allowed to eat omelets and boiled eggs (but not hard boiled).
- Vegetable fats and some butter. Fats cannot be completely excluded from the diet, because they are involved in metabolic processes.
Remember that food when removing the gallbladder must necessarily include cereals, vegetables and fruits, but only sweet ones. It is recommended to add carrots and pumpkin to dishes, but they are allowed to eat in their pure form. The dessert may consist of a small amount of jam, marshmallows, honey or marmalade without dyes.
Remember that eating after removing the gallbladder requires complete abstinence from alcohol. There are a number of foods that should be excluded from the diet:
- Food irritating the gastrointestinal mucosa: spices, garlic and onions, radish and radish, mushrooms. It is excluded the use of any marinade, fish or mushroom broth, as well as pickles, smoked meats and sour foods.
- Fat meat.
- Sweet (sweets, cakes, pastries, sweet soda, etc.).
- Foods that contain large amounts of coarse fiber (e.g. beans, peas, wholemeal bread).
- Cold foods (jellied meat, jelly, ice cream). This food provokes the development of spasm of the biliary tract.
It is important to understand that nutrition after removal of the gallbladder should be based only on dietary foods. Failure to comply with such rules can cost a person life.
There are cases when, even with strict adherence to the diet, a deterioration is observed. There may be an unreasonable increase in temperature, feces become light, nausea appears, vomit contains an admixture of bile. As a rule, the reason is a violation of the outflow of bile and its stagnation. In this case, you should immediately contact your doctor. He should slightly modify your diet and prescribe another one with some increase in the amount of fat.
