After gastrectomy, the structure of the stomach has changed, and the normal physiological function of the stomach has also been affected, such as poor appetite, fullness after meals, digestive and absorption dysfunction and so on. In addition, after gastrectomy and gastrointestinal anastomosis, due to the loss of normal physiological function of pylorus or stomach, chyme in stomach suddenly pours into duodenum or jejunum, which can also cause a series of symptoms such as epigastric pain, fullness discomfort, nausea, vomiting, belching, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue and even tachycardia, and in severe cases, blood pressure drops and syncope, which is called dumping syndrome.

Therefore, the patients after gastrectomy, diet care is very important. Scientific diet health care mainly includes:

Provide enough nutrition for the body and promote wound healing; Eat a small amount of food to increase the chances for the body to absorb nutrients; Changing the way food is processed and adding some nutrients properly can promote the absorption of nutrients by the body and also play an important role in the recovery of the body.

1. After gastrectomy,

Intestinal function can be gradually restored within 1 ~ 3 days. When intestinal failure, you can eat a small amount of liquid diet, such as rice soup, lotus root starch, honey water, noodle soup, vegetable soup and so on. , and drink about 100 ml each time, 7~8 meals a day. After 3~5 days, you can eat rice porridge, millet porridge, steamed egg soup, egg soup, egg batter and so on. And the number of meals per day can be about 6 times. At this stage, don't eat milk, soybean milk and other foods that are easy to produce gas, as well as celery, bean sprouts, onions and other foods that contain a lot of crude fiber.

2, in order to prevent the occurrence of dumping syndrome, in addition to a small number of meals after gastrectomy, try to drink less water when eating, but also pay attention to try not to eat a high-sugar diet. In addition, lying flat for about 30 minutes after meals also has a good effect on preventing the occurrence of dumping syndrome.
