What foods are likely to cause appendicitis?
Disease description:
I had appendicitis before, but the condition was controlled after treatment. The doctor advised me to pay attention to my diet in daily life to avoid triggering a recurrence of appendicitis. So, what kind of food can easily cause appendicitis to flare up?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
The following foods may easily induce appendicitis:
1. Spicy foods: Such as raw onions, raw garlic, chili peppers, etc. These foods can not only cause congestion in organs and tissues throughout the body, but may also trigger gastrointestinal spasms and pain, reducing gastrointestinal resistance, thereby increasing the risk of appendicitis.
2. Raw and cold foods: Particularly common cold and frozen foods consumed in summer. They may irritate the gastrointestinal tract, reduce resistance, and make appendicitis more likely to occur.
3. Gas-producing foods: Such as legumes, soy products, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. These foods can easily cause gas accumulation in the intestines, reduce peristaltic ability, and possibly induce appendicitis.
4. Fried foods: Containing large amounts of fat, they increase the burden on the digestive system, may cause indigestion, and make the appendix more susceptible to bacterial infection.
