Acute dermatomyositis diet

Once contracted, acute dermatomyositis spreads very quickly and even throughout the body. Most of the patients are children because their immunity is low and they cannot fight the spread of the virus. Once contracted, the incidence rate is very high. Therefore, if you want to prevent it, you must start with yourself. Both in life and in food, you must keep it clean, eat nutritious food, and eat a proper combination of meat and vegetables and not eat too much.

Some people become very nervous and don’t know what to do when they hear that they have acute dermatomyositis. However, only by maintaining an optimistic attitude can they recover well. So if you encounter this disease, don’t be discouraged. There is hope if you persist. Moreover, reasonable control of diet and food during the illness can also alleviate the symptoms.

Diet therapy for dermatomyositis:

1 ) Diet can be adjusted according to the changes in tongue coating. For example, if the tongue coating is thin and white, warm foods can be selected, such as ginger tea, ginger sugar soup, and ginger peel soup. If the tongue coating is thin and yellow, indicating heat, the diet should be light, such as winter melon soup, mung bean soup, tomato and green leafy vegetable soup, and greasy meat dishes should be avoided.

2) The diet for patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis should be high in calories, high in protein, easy to digest, and rich in vitamins. Avoid raw, cold, greasy, sweet and sticky foods, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and quit smoking.

3 ) During the fever period, the appetite is very poor. Taking anti-rheumatic drugs will also cause gastrointestinal reactions and loss of appetite. Light food should be given, and semi-liquid food such as noodles, rice, rice porridge, etc. Eat more fresh fruits and fresh vegetables, drink more cool drinks to promote salivation and quench thirst and replenish body fluids.

4) For patients with gastrointestinal ulcers or gastrointestinal damage caused by poison, the food should be cooked thoroughly to make it easy to digest and reduce the gastrointestinal burden. For patients who only have local joint symptoms, without fever and spleen and stomach symptoms, they can eat whatever they want without many restrictions.

As long as you use the above methods reasonably, you will get better quickly. In fact, China's food culture is profound and many diseases are suppressed by diet. Therefore, you should not blame the diet for the helplessness of this disease. As long as you eat nutritiously and safely, you will recover faster. Believe that you will see the light.
