How to gain weight with Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is an illness of unknown cause, characterized by lesions at various, unfixed positions within the gastrointestinal tract, manifesting symptoms such as abdominal bloating and pain. It is generally linked inevitably to diet, immune factors, or genetic factors. People with Crohn's disease should maintain a light diet, avoid overeating, and moderately consume foods like millet porridge. When cooking millet porridge, it can be beneficial to add ingredients such as dates, Chinese yam, and goji berries, which are good for spleen and stomach regulation and aid digestion while also enhancing nutrition. Additionally, consuming lean meat porridge or egg yolk porridge in moderation can be beneficial.
Can early cancerous changes in cirrhosis be cured?
If the patient has early-stage cirrhosis and develops cancerous changes, there are currently many treatment methods for liver cancer due to advanced science, so there is no need for immediate worry. The treatment for liver cancer can generally involve methods like microwave therapy, anhydrous alcohol injections, or surgery, including liver transplantation. One can choose the specific treatment method based on their individual medical condition. However, if suffering from hepatitis B or C-induced cirrhosis, it is recommended to take antiviral medications while treating liver cancer. This can help control the condition and delay its progression. It is also important to closely monitor the condition with frequent check-ups. If there is a possibility of recurrence of the liver condition, it is advisable to consider surgery or a liver transplant at an early stage.
Acute gastroenteritis pain level
The level of pain in acute gastroenteritis is generally divided into ten levels clinically: levels one to three are mild, four to six are moderate, and seven to ten are severe. This classification is mainly based on the patient's expression and self-perceived intensity of pain. In cases of acute gastroenteritis, there is often the possibility of experiencing spasms, or pain stimuli might trigger inflammatory infections. Generally, the pain is often above level eight. However, if there is mild pain, or it does not accompany fever, it is usually around level one to three. Therefore, once a patient experiences abdominal pain, an intramuscular injection of scopolamine butylbromide can be used to relieve the pain and help the patient stabilize.
Does bile reflux gastritis require hospitalization?
If bile reflux gastritis is not severe, it generally does not require hospitalization, and you can recuperate at home. Treatments should be based on individual clinical symptoms and may include medications that reduce stomach acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa to control the condition. It is important to avoid overly greasy, hard-to-digest foods and spicy, irritating foods. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and chewing slowly can usually prevent the condition from becoming particularly severe. However, if the condition is serious enough to affect normal life, hospital treatment is necessary.
Is bowel sounds after eating indicative of irritable bowel syndrome?
If there is increased bowel sounds and irritable bowel syndrome after eating, there is inevitably a connection. Overeating or consuming overly greasy, indigestible food, or spicy and stimulating foods can lead to abdominal organ issues and abdominal pain, with symptoms like increased bowel sounds or diarrhea. However, if there are gastrointestinal diseases, especially conditions like gastritis or gastric ulcers, uncomfortable symptoms may also occur after eating.
Can Crohn's disease be detected with an enhanced CT of the small intestine?
Crohn's disease cannot be accurately diagnosed through a CT scan of the small intestine; it only shows a general overview of the condition. To accurately diagnose specific conditions of Crohn's disease, it is necessary to perform a colonoscopy, combined with blood tests, routine stool tests, and pathological examinations for a definitive diagnosis. Then, further diagnoses can be made based on individual clinical symptoms. This disease generally has a definite connection with genetic and immune factors. If the condition is severe, surgery may be considered to remove the affected intestines.
What dishes are good for bile reflux gastritis?
Patients with bile reflux gastritis can eat some leafy and other vegetables such as baby rapeseed, spinach, bok choy, tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers. It is advisable to avoid eating vegetables with coarse fibers, such as celery, leeks, or chili peppers, as these can exacerbate digestive system disorders and lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and bloating. In cases of severe bile reflux gastritis, it is best to reduce the intake of fruits and vegetables. Consuming soft or liquid foods, such as millet porridge, is recommended.
What are the symptoms of fatty liver? Is fatty liver serious?
If you have fatty liver disease, the symptoms are essentially the same as those of chronic hepatitis B and C, which include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, aversion to oily foods, and fatigue. Additionally, patients with fatty liver disease may experience a sensation of swelling and pain in the liver area. At this point, further liver function tests such as measuring transaminase and bilirubin levels can be conducted, and performing a hepatobiliary ultrasound can definitively diagnose the condition. If the fatty liver is due to obesity, it is advisable to strictly control food intake and engage in active and reasonable exercise for weight loss, as fatty liver can be reversed. However, if the fatty liver is due to long-term excessive alcohol consumption, it is recommended to strictly quit smoking and drinking, combined with reasonable exercise and diet control, as fatty liver can also be reversed.
Could having blood in the stool for five years be rectal cancer?
If there has been blood in the stool for five years, whether it's colorectal cancer or not, this can only be confirmed through a colonoscopy. Furthermore, pathological tissue analysis and biopsy are necessary to make a definitive diagnosis. Pathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosing cancer. If cancerous changes are present, surgical treatment should be undertaken promptly to prevent the spread of cancer cells. If there are no malignant changes, symptomatic treatment measures can be adopted. Conditions such as chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, or hemorrhoids could also cause blood in the stool.
Does superficial gastritis infected with Helicobacter pylori need treatment?
Superficial gastritis, after infection with Helicobacter pylori, requires treatment. If not actively symptomatic treated, the condition can worsen and frequently relapse, increasing the risk of malignancy. For superficial gastritis with Helicobacter pylori, initial treatment can involve natural therapies to control and eradicate Helicobacter pylori completely. Subsequently, based on individual clinical symptoms, treatment should focus on chronic superficial gastritis. Regular maintenance primarily involves being cautious with diet, avoiding spicy foods, and refraining from consuming food that is too cold, too sweet, too hard, or too acidic, as well as overly stimulating foods.
