Dr. Zhou Chao
After gastric perforation surgery, patients can appropriately consume light and easily digestible foods such as millet porridge, rice porridge, and pumpkin porridge. They may also eat stomach-soothing foods like Chinese yam and potatoes. Spicy, stimulating, raw, or cold foods should be avoided. Additionally, small amounts of high-protein foods can be consumed.
