How to treat chronic enteritis? Five dietary treatments

Chronic enteritis is different from many acute diseases. There is no intense pain or obvious symptoms during the illness. However, chronic enteritis symptoms will be triggered when the body is not properly conditioned, rest is not good, and diet is not good. Therefore, patients with chronic enteritis should pay more attention to conditioning than other patients, and should adhere to correct conditioning and diet for a long time.

1. How to treat chronic enteritis

1. Low in fat and fiber. Foods that contain too much fat are not only difficult to digest, but their laxative effect often aggravates diarrhea symptoms. Therefore, patients should not eat fried, pan-fried, raw, cold, or high-fiber foods. They can choose easily digestible thin noodles, stewed noodles, wontons, tender vegetable leaves, fish, shrimp, eggs, and bean products to allow the intestines to be more hydrated.

2. If patients with chronic enteritis are dehydrated, they can drink some light salt water, vegetable soup, rice soup, fruit juice, rice porridge, etc. to replenish water, salt and vitamins.

2. Five dietary therapies

1. Toona sinensis fish

100 grams of fresh toon leaves, appropriate amounts of flour, water and salt.

Wash and chop the fresh toon leaves, add appropriate amount of water and salt to flour to make a batter, then add the toon leaves into the batter and mix well. Heat the pan, add vegetable oil, and when the oil is half cooked, slowly pour the paste into the pan with a spoon, forming strips to form a small fish. When fried until golden brown and cooked through, remove from the heat and serve.

2. Braised bamboo chicken with tangerine peel, pepper and ginger

1 bamboo shredded rooster, 3 grams of tangerine peel, 3 grams of galangal, 6 grams of pepper, and 2 apples.

Kill the bamboo chicken, remove the hair and internal organs, wash and cut into small pieces. Wash tangerine peel, galangal, pepper, and apple. Mix all the ingredients including green onion, vinegar and soy sauce, put them into a pot, add a small amount of water, simmer over low heat and season. Consume as desired.

3. Braised pork belly with Amomum villosum

500 grams of pork tripe, 10 grams of spring amomum, a small amount of pepper, pepper powder, chopped green onion and ginger. Rinse the pig's stomach repeatedly with salt and water, soak it in boiling water to remove the mutton smell, scrape off the white film and set aside; wash and crush the spring amomum villosum, and slice the ginger. Put the Amomum villosum into the pig's stomach, heat up a pan with oil, dry the pig's stomach with ginger, then add water and seasoning, and simmer over low heat. Finally, add Sichuan peppercorns, pepper powder, and chopped green onions, simmer briefly, remove the amomum villosum, and cut the pork tripe into strips. Consume as desired.

3. What should not be eaten for chronic enteritis

1. Do not eat foods that lubricate the large intestine, such as milk

Milk is rich in many nutrients and vitamins essential to the human body and is a food that is widely loved by people. However, most patients with chronic colitis should not drink it. Some particularly sensitive patients will soon experience intestinal rumbling and diarrhea after drinking it. The reason is that although milk has the effect of "replenishing deficiency and strengthening the spleen and stomach", it also has the effect of "lubricating the large intestine", so patients with chronic colitis should be cautious about taking milk.

Foods that cause laxative effects include: honey, sesame oil, milk, goat's milk, soy milk, peanut milk, soy milk, soy powder, milk powder, sesame paste, oatmeal, walnut powder, etc.

2. Do not eat cold foods such as fruits

Various fresh fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, banana, peach, persimmon, loquat, raw pear, etc. Although fruits and melons are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, inorganic salts, etc., they are also contraindicated for most patients with chronic colitis. Because most fruits and vegetables are cold in nature, they will damage the spleen yang, easily breed dampness, and obstruct the spleen and stomach's transportation and transformation functions. Some of them also have a laxative effect, which can cause frequent diarrhea and affect the efficacy of the treatment. An obvious example is that many patients often suffer from diarrhea after eating watermelon in summer.

3. If you have colitis, you should avoid eating greasy food.

Greasy food can easily increase the burden on the intestines. They generally contain animal fat. After eating them, patients with chronic colitis often experience increased bowel movements, so they should not be eaten. Greasy food mainly refers to animal oil food, such as braised pork, spare ribs, meat-filled buns, wontons, and thick soups stewed with chicken and duck.
