Disease description:
A friend told me that people with cholecystitis generally cannot eat high-cholesterol foods. May I ask, can patients with cholecystitis eat egg whites?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
Patients with cholecystitis can generally consume egg whites in moderation. Their diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding high-cholesterol and greasy foods. Egg whites do not fall into this category and usually do not affect bile secretion or exacerbate the condition. Egg whites are rich in protein, helping to provide nutritional support, enhance immune function, and supply energy to the body. They can also help alleviate symptoms of fatigue caused by energy deficiency and reduce feelings of hunger.
