Symptoms in case of illness.
Gallstone disease is a disease in which formation and deposition in the gallbladder and bile ducts, so-called stones, becomes possible. There are many causes of this disease. This and the violation of proper nutrition, metabolism, genetic predisposition to the disease, obstruction of the biliary tract, infection. As a result of such aforementioned reasons, the formation of bile stones becomes possible due to a change in its physico-chemical properties. If the disease lasts for a long time, then the emergence and development of inflammation in the bile ducts is possible. Stones in the gallbladder and ducts are divided into cholesterol, pigment, pigment-cholesterol, calcareous and complex (combined).
Gallstone disease manifests itself in various ways: attacks of hepatic colic (severe pain due to passage of stones), diarrhea, chronic pain, etc.
Large stones in the gallbladder contribute to the formation of pressure sores on its walls. This is dangerous in that there may be a breakdown of the wall of the bladder with the release of the infected bile into the abdominal cavity. Hence the formation of abscesses and peritonitis - inflammation of the peritoneum. If the cervix of the gallbladder is blocked for a long time, the bile stagnates and its suppuration is obtained. When the stone is blocked by the common bile duct, bile pigments get into the blood, resulting in mechanical jaundice and yellowing the patient's skin.
Nutrition in case of illness.
Nutrition for cholelithiasis should first of all spare and protect the gastrointestinal tract from mechanical, chemical and temperature effects. To achieve this effect, the dishes should be cooked using special culinary processing, and some foods should be generally removed from the diet. Sometimes, only one therapeutic diet contributes to the improvement of the patient's condition: pain, diarrhea, etc. decrease.
It is necessary to remove food and foods containing substances irritating the gastrointestinal mucosa: peppers, spices, mustard and sauces, garlic, radish, radish. Also it is necessary to exclude indigestible products, such as fatty fish, sausages, mutton and beef fat, lard, smoked, salted, fatty broths. It is also necessary to remove confectionery from the diet, as they contain coffee, cocoa and chocolate, which can exacerbate.
It is undesirable to eat rye bread, legumes, because they have coarse fiber in their composition and, as a consequence, contribute to flatulence (increased gas formation).
If possible, it should be excluded from the diet of cold drinks and dishes. They cause spasms of the gallbladder, ducts and intensify the pain.
To prepare food for cholelithiasis, foods rich in lipotropic substances should be used, since they help to digest fats. These include cod and well-soaked herring. From other fish it is good to use a low-fat, river. Meat dishes are also prepared low-fat, beef or chicken.
Very useful sour-milk products - skim milk, cottage cheese, kefir. Cottage cheese, by the way, contains a lipotropic product - choline, which helps digestion. Sour cream can be consumed in small quantities and necessarily fat-free. Fats of animal origin must be eliminated, and use vegetable and butter. Eggs in two forms - omelet and boiled soft-boiled. Cereals also contain lipotropic substances (buckwheat and oatmeal), so they are recommended for nutrition. You can also include rice and semolina. In the diet should be present vegetables, fruits, berries of non-acidic varieties: carrots, watermelon, pumpkin, melon. From sweets you can marmalade, honey, jam and pastille.
When cooking, avoid roasting. Ready meals should be soft and semi-liquid. To achieve this effect, the dishes are prepared with the help of special treatment - it is steaming, boiling, mashing in puree.
To achieve maximum effect in the treatment of cholelithiasis, special attention should be paid to the diet regime. Eat five times a day in small portions and strictly in time - at the same time interval.
