Can I eat donkey-hide gelatin if I have gallstones? Pay attention to these in your diet

Gallstones are a common clinical disease. The older the patient is, the higher the incidence rate. Donkey-hide gelatin is a relatively nutritious food, so whether patients with gallstones can eat donkey-hide gelatin is also a question of concern. Generally speaking, gallstones and donkey-hide gelatin do not conflict with each other and can be consumed appropriately.

1. You can eat donkey-hide gelatin , but it has no therapeutic effect on gallstones. Donkey-hide gelatin is good for replenishing blood and has no effect on gallstones, so it can be taken. Patients with gallstones can eat some nourishing medicines such as donkey-hide gelatin in moderation. Donkey-hide gelatin is a traditional blood-replenishing medicine. It has been a very good tonic since ancient times. It has the effects of replenishing blood, stopping bleeding, nourishing yin, moisturizing dryness, nourishing blood, and calming the fetus. It can also be used for blood deficiency, chlorosis, dizziness, palpitations, restlessness and insomnia, and dry cough. Modern pharmacological research has also found that donkey-hide gelatin contains protein, lysine, arginine, histidine and other essential amino acids for the human body, as well as calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc and other trace elements.

2. If the stones are small and only cause occasional inflammation (pain), conservative treatment, that is, anti-inflammatory treatment, can be used. Under conservative treatment, the diet should be light and not too greasy or spicy. Especially greasy food can easily induce gallstones.

3. People with gallstones should pay attention to food and drinking water hygiene . Raw fruits and vegetables should be washed first, and then rinsed with boiling or cold water to prevent ingestion of roundworms and residual pesticides. Develop a good habit of drinking boiled water instead of raw water. Eat more foods containing vitamins, such as green vegetables, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, etc. You should eat more fruits such as bananas and apples. Use vegetable oil to stir-fry, and the dishes you eat should mainly be stewed, braised or steamed. Eat lean meat, chicken, fish, walnuts, black fungus, kelp, seaweed, etc. regularly.
