The diet in the treatment of cholecystitis should be low in fats, such as fried foods, whole dairy products, margarine, fatty meats and fatty fruits, for example, to help the patient recover and to relieve symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and gas more quickly..
Cholecystitis, which is inflammation of the gallbladder, can be made worse by eating foods that are high in fat because bile, which is released by the gallbladder, is necessary to digest this type of food.
The cholecystitis diet should include:
- Fresh fruits, vegetables, vegetables, lean meats, such as chicken and turkey; lean fish, such as hake and swordfish, whole grains, water.
It is important to follow up with a health professional, such as a nutritionist, to provide food guidance and check the appropriate amounts of fat for each patient and indicate, if necessary, vitamin supplementation. Due to the reduction of fats, it may be necessary, in patients with cholecystitis, supplementation with vitamins that are in fats, such as vitamin A, E and D, to complete the diet.
Diet for acute cholecystitis
The diet for acute cholecystitis is a specific diet performed in the hospital where a tube is placed to feed the patient, preventing him from doing an oral feeding.
When the patient resumes oral feeding, it is recommended to eat a low amount of fat so as not to stimulate the gallbladder.
