Can people with Crohn's disease eat eggs?
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, and patients can eat eggs. The principle of the diet is to eat small meals frequently and keep it low in fat, eating more vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and yams. Avoid cold, spicy, and gas-producing foods such as chili peppers, radishes, leeks, and soy products. Crohn's disease can easily affect joints, skin, and other organs, and the course of the disease tends to be recurrent and is not easy to cure completely. The current treatment principle primarily involves medication combined with surgical treatment to prevent complications, with a focus on rest, a high-nutrition, low-fat diet, and correcting electrolyte imbalances.
Can acute gastroenteritis cause shock?
Acute gastroenteritis, if it causes severe vomiting and frequent diarrhea, can lead to obvious dehydration and may cause shock. During shock, symptoms such as a drop in blood pressure, pale complexion, lethargy, and physical weakness appear, and timely fluid replenishment therapy is necessary. Additionally, proactive use of anti-inflammatory and anti-infection medications, as well as drugs that stabilize the intestines and stop diarrhea, can reduce symptoms of diarrhea. Moreover, during treatment, it is important to adjust the diet, eat smaller and more frequent meals, and consume more vegetables and fruits to supplement plant-based fibers.
Does esophagitis cause constipation?
Esophagitis generally does not cause constipation. However, if a person has esophagitis and their gastrointestinal motility is reduced, constipation may occur. The main symptoms of esophagitis include feeling like there is a foreign object when swallowing, pain when swallowing, and pain behind the sternum. The diet for esophagitis generally consists of semi-liquid or liquid food. It is advisable to eat more vegetables and soft, easily digestible foods, and to avoid raw, cold, and strongly irritant foods. Additionally, it is important to hydrate regularly and choose antibiotics appropriately for treatment. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
acute appendicitis symptoms
The symptoms of acute appendicitis typically include abdominal pain at the onset of the condition, which initially occurs around the navel and then localizes to the lower right abdomen, as well as early nausea and vomiting caused by gastric spasms. Patients with more severe inflammation may also exhibit fever. If the inflammation spreads to the peritoneum, there will be tenderness at McBurney's point and rebound tenderness, along with tense abdominal muscles. Based on these symptoms, making a definitive diagnosis of acute appendicitis is not particularly difficult.
Can people with Crohn's disease drink tea?
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel condition. Patients can drink tea and should eat smaller meals more frequently. They should eat more green vegetables, such as carrots, yams, and potatoes, and eat less food high in fat, such as animal fats, fatty meats, and cheese. It is also advisable to eat less raw, cold, and spicy food and to avoid foods that are likely to cause gas, like bean products and onions. In terms of treatment, it is important to follow a regular and complete treatment course. Treatment may involve a combination of medication and surgery. Currently, there is no specific cure for Crohn's disease; treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic and supportive care, as the disease course is prone to prolonged recurrence.
What to eat for fatty liver?
Fatty liver refers to the decreased ability of the liver to metabolize fats or an increase in blood lipids. In such cases, it is first important to pay attention to a light diet, eat more vegetables, and drink more water, which is conducive to the metabolism of triglycerides. Additionally, it is best to avoid greasy and spicy foods, as excessively fatty foods can also enter the bloodstream after digestion and absorption, further burdening the liver. It is also important to engage in more outdoor exercise to enhance physical fitness and reduce the accumulation of fats.
How is acute appendicitis treated?
The principle of treating acute appendicitis is to rehydrate and fight infection, complete related auxiliary examinations, and then carry out an emergency appendectomy. Acute appendicitis can be controlled by medication, but the effectiveness of medications is limited; most cases still require the removal of the appendix through surgery. Currently, laparoscopic appendectomy is an available option. This method is relatively more complex, but it allows for faster recovery and less trauma post-surgery, though it tends to be more expensive.
Is rectitis hemorrhoids?
Proctitis and hemorrhoids have fundamental differences. Proctitis is an inflammation that occurs in the rectum and its mucosa, related to infection by pathogens. Typical symptoms include diarrhea and abdominal pain, with severe cases presenting mucus or pus and bloody stools. Hemorrhoids, on the other hand, are caused by the distension of hemorrhoidal veins; internal hemorrhoids lead to bleeding after bowel movements, and external hemorrhoids cause significant pain. Proctitis is generally treated with medications or can also be managed with enemas. Hemorrhoids are mainly treated with medications that reduce bleeding and medications that treat the hemorrhoids, and they can also be treated surgically. (Medication use should be supervised by a doctor.)
How to recuperate after acute gastritis?
The management of acute gastritis primarily involves diet and regulation of personal emotions. Diet-wise, it's important to eat light foods and avoid spicy and greasy foods. Incorporate more fresh vegetables and fruits to increase dietary fiber. Additionally, adjusting personal emotions is crucial as there is a direct relationship between gastritis and emotional fluctuations. Therefore, maintaining physical and mental health, engaging in outdoor activities, and minimizing emotional ups and downs, while avoiding excessive anxiety, all play a positive role in the treatment and care of acute gastritis.
Does chronic gastritis require surgery?
Whether chronic gastritis requires surgery also depends on the condition of the disease. If the symptoms are not particularly obvious—such as nausea, vomiting, or acid reflux—and the gastroscopic examination shows atypical symptoms, treatment through medication or dietary adjustments can be considered instead of surgery. However, if there is significant atypical hyperplasia or intestinal metaplasia found during the gastroscopy, suggesting potential malignancy, these conditions may require surgical treatment under gastroscopy.
