Can you drink milk if you have appendicitis?

Appendicitis patients can drink milk. After appendectomy, once the patient has passed gas through the anus, they may begin consuming liquid foods, including milk. Milk provides an external source of protein and can help protect the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and gastrointestinal system, which is beneficial for recovery from appendicitis. However, it is advisable not to drink too much milk, as excessive consumption may cause bloating and abdominal pain.
