Dr. Yang Ziqi
Patients with cholecystitis can generally eat egg whites. Individuals with cholecystitis need to limit high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, while egg whites are rich in protein and low in fat, making them suitable for moderate consumption. Moreover, egg whites contain various essential nutrients; consuming them in moderation helps supplement the body's nutritional needs, enhances immune function, and supports recovery from cholecystitis.
