When following rectal cancer surgery, you should pay attention to liquid food, and after recovery, eat more high-protein, high-vitamin foods that are easy to digest. Avoid spicy and exciting foods. It is best to eat a light diet and avoid greasy foods. Patients will experience intestinal dysfunction in the early stage after rectal surgery, with diarrhea being the most common, followed by constipation.

Usually symptoms will be relieved 3 to 6 months after surgery, and no special treatment is required. For those with frequent diarrhea, consider symptomatic treatment such as Zhixie Ning. The diet after intestinal resection is a low-fiber, low-lactose, low-fat, and high-protein diet. Increase the amount of fiber after intestinal function is restored. If diarrhea occurs after surgery, high-lactose foods including rice, bananas, applesauce, and fruit juices should be avoided. People with constipation should increase the amount of fiber, eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, fruit juices, and supplement vitamin b12 after surgery. To replenish the body: make a thick soup with pigeons, quails, and black fish, and add some ham slices. Fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably kiwi fruit and watermelon.

Dietary recipes after rectal cancer surgery should reduce the intake of fats in the diet: the relationship between diet and cancer is the most studied one, including saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Fats in the diet can promote the growth of cancer cells, and can also cause early mutation of normal cells and develop into tumors. Whether it is animal fat or vegetable fat, reduce it as much as possible. Excess fat, especially animal fat, can stimulate bile acid excretion in the small intestine. When the amount of bile acid in the intestine is too high, it can easily form carcinogens and promote the growth of cancer cells. It can be seen that a high-fat diet is particularly closely related to the occurrence of rectal cancer.
