Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common complication and cause of death in patients with liver cirrhosis, and eating fish is often one of the causes of bleeding. Tuna, sardines, saury and mackerel contain an unsaturated organic acid called eicosapentaenoic acid, the content of which is as high as 1~ 1.5%. Fish oil is the most abundant.

The human body cannot synthesize eicosapentaenoic acid from other free fatty acids, and depends entirely on food. One of the metabolites of eicosapentaenoic acid is prostacyclin, which can inhibit platelet aggregation. Patients with liver cirrhosis already have coagulation factor production disorder and a small number of platelets. Once they eat fish containing more eicosapentaenoic acid, platelet aggregation will decrease, which is easy to cause bleeding and difficult to stop. Therefore, it is best for patients with liver cirrhosis who are prone to bleeding to ban these four kinds of fish. Other fish contain less eicosapentaenoic acid, such as carp, flounder and mackerel. If patients with liver cirrhosis want to increase protein in order to eliminate ascites, it is ok to eat crucian carp soup.

2. Avoid foods containing preservatives.

Bad ingredients such as preservatives, edible pigments and additives will increase the burden and damage of the liver, and cirrhosis can't eat anything, which will affect the detoxification and metabolic function of the liver. Therefore, patients with liver cirrhosis should avoid eating canned food, instant noodles, sausages and smoked food. In daily life, this can reduce the occurrence of adverse factors to the liver.

Step 3 avoid alcohol and cigarettes

Long-term drinking can lead to alcoholic gastritis and even alcoholic cirrhosis. Drinking alcohol can also lead to epigastric discomfort, loss of appetite and protein and vitamin B deficiency. Alcohol can generate heat energy, but alcohol metabolism does not require insulin, so a small amount of alcohol is allowed. It is generally believed that alcohol is not suitable for drinking, because alcohol contains no other nutrients except heat energy, and long-term drinking is harmful to the liver, which is easy to cause hyperlipidemia and fatty liver. In addition, some patients are prone to palpitation, shortness of breath and even hypoglycemia after drinking hypoglycemic drugs.

Nicotine can contract blood vessels, resulting in decreased blood supply to the liver, affecting the nutrition of the liver, which is not conducive to the stability of liver disease. Therefore, patients with liver cirrhosis should avoid smoking.

4. Avoid eating too much polysaccharide

As we all know, patients with hepatitis should give up some sugar properly. However, patients with liver cirrhosis are different. Due to the serious damage of liver cells during liver cirrhosis, the function of liver to synthesize glycogen and convert some monosaccharides into fat has been obviously reduced.

At this time, if patients eat a lot of sugar for a long time, diabetes will be complicated with hepatic diabetes, which will increase the difficulty in the treatment of liver cirrhosis.

5. Avoid spicy food.

In liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension can cause dilation of lower esophagus, gastric fundus and anal vein, and liver cirrhosis is often complicated with gastric mucosal erosion and ulcer.

If the patient eats spicy food such as pepper again, it will promote gastric mucosal congestion and peristalsis, thus inducing upper gastrointestinal bleeding, causing anal burning pain and increased stool times, aggravating hemorrhoids and causing anal fissure.

Yuan Yitang Metabolic Conditioning Expert: Diabetes is caused by metabolic problems. The main reasons for metabolism are: eating too much, eating wrong and exercising less. Therefore, to fundamentally control diabetes, it is necessary to control blood sugar through diet.
