What to Avoid Eating with Cholecystitis
Disease description:
I have developed cholecystitis myself. Recently, I've been very cautious and paying close attention to my health. I would like to ask the doctor: what foods should be avoided with cholecystitis?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Patients with cholecystitis need to pay attention to their diet to avoid aggravating the condition or worsening symptoms. The following foods should be avoided:
1. High-fat foods: such as fatty meats, fried foods, and high-fat dairy products. These foods increase the burden on the gallbladder and may trigger gallbladder contraction and spasms, leading to increased pain.
2. Spicy and irritating foods: including chili peppers, pepper, mustard, and similar items. These foods can irritate the gastrointestinal tract and may worsen symptoms of cholecystitis.
3. Strongly flavored foods: such as salty foods and pickled products. These foods may increase the burden on the gallbladder and cause discomfort.
It is recommended to choose light, easily digestible foods such as steamed vegetables, lean meats, and clear soups. Maintain regular eating habits and avoid overeating. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
