What diet to pay attention to if you have gallstones

The term "gallstones" sounds like a foggy thing, but what is it? Now let me introduce to you, the causes of gallstones are more complex, common in adults, and unreasonable diet is also a cause of gallstones.Then for patients with gallstones, it is more important to pay attention to the issue of diet. Therefore, the diet of patients with gallstones should be low-fat and low-cholesterol foods. But diet is quite important for patients, and blind eating can have serious consequences for themselves.

Dietary precautions for gallstones:

First of all, many people think that eating a vegetarian diet is good for the body, but in fact, it may not be, because there are many disadvantages of eating a vegetarian diet for a long time, the most important of which is that it will lead to malnutrition. If you eat a vegetarian diet for a long time and do not eat meat, the intake of lipids in food is insufficient, which will reduce the body's absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, resulting in fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. Due to the low utilization rate of plant protein and the high utilization rate of animal protein in the human body, if the long-term vegetarian diet will cause insufficient intake of animal protein, it can lead to hypoproteinemia, edema of the lower limbs and upper body, and even appearpalpitation, fatigue, emaciation, etc. Long-term vegetarian diet can also cause anemia due to the lack of trace element iron in the body.

Secondly, fatty foods can stimulate the human body to produce cholecystokinin, if you do not eat meat for a long time, the level of cholecystokinin in the blood is low, and the gallbladder can not contract in time, resulting in long-term bile accumulation, which is not good for patients over time. Eating meat in moderation can have a positive effect on patients with gallstones. Because the bile excretion effect of meat food is stronger than that of vegetarian food, the bile sand or small gallstones at the lower end of the bile duct can be discharged with the bile, thereby reducing the deposition of sand and stones in the bile duct, which is beneficial to dredging the biliary tract.In addition, the bile in the gallbladder is not over-concentrated because it is discharged frequently, which is also beneficial for preventing the growth of gallstones. The frequent renewal of bile makes the bile containing bacteria discharged in time, and fresh bile enters the gallbladder, which is also conducive to reducing the occurrence of gallbladder inflammation.

It has been confirmed that our diet should be a combination of meat and vegetables to do a good job for the body, and patients with gallstones should pay more attention to it.
