Dietary taboos after appendicitis surgery

Digestive tract and abdominal surgery are closely related to dietary taboos and must be taken seriously.

1． The intake of any food is taboo. After major surgery on the digestive tract and abdomen, the intestines are in a low-function state and fasting is required.
