Gastric xanthomas

Many people's stomachs and intestines often get sick, and xanthomas often appear. This is not a tumor disease, and patients should not regard yellow tumors as tumors. This is only due to partial lipid deposition in the skeletal system. Patients should pay attention to their own diet and do a good job of protection in life, starting with diet, because diet plays a very important role in the recovery of the disease and can also relieve the pain during the treatment process.

In fact, if gastric xanthomas are not particularly serious, they generally do not require treatment. Just pay attention to the following care and maintenance in your daily life. Patients with gastric xanthomas can appropriately supplement vitamin C and high-quality protein.

1. Patients with gastric xanthomas should pay attention to balanced nutrition and choose mainly nutritious, easily digestible soft foods, and eat more foods rich in plant protein and vitamins. Patients with gastric xanthomas can eat cooked millet, rice porridge, goat milk, yogurt, white cheese, and kefir. If symptoms are severe, eat some soft foods, such as rice soup, avocado, banana, potato, and pumpkin. Blend all the vegetables before cooking. Occasionally, eat some steamed vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower and greens.

2. Control your water intake. People with gastric acid deficiency should avoid diluting gastric juice. It is advisable to add vinegar, lemon juice and acidic seasoning crystals to the diet. Patients with gastric xanthomas should eat less food that is difficult to digest and causes bloating. Try to drink as much water as possible before and after meals.

3. Eat regularly and pay attention to dietary conditioning and maintenance, eat regularly at regular times and in regular amounts to maintain the normal rhythm of digestive activities. Patients with gastric xanthomas must not eat one meal and skip the next, or skip breakfast, and especially should avoid overeating.

4. Avoid high-fat foods. High-fat foods, alcohol, sugar, and chocolate can relax the sphincter and cause reflux, so if patients with gastric xanthomas have symptoms of heartburn, they should avoid these foods.

5. Avoid eating rough and irritating foods . Avoid eating foods that are too hard, too spicy, too salty, too hot, too rough, and too irritating. Such as fried foods, pickled foods, peppers, garlic, etc. Regardless of whether citrus juices, tomato products, coffee, alcohol, and all foods that directly irritate the esophagus will cause stomach acid, it is best for patients with gastric xanthomas to avoid eating them.

6. Chewing slowly is definitely helpful for digestion. Patients with gastric xanthomas should chew their food thoroughly to mix the food fully with saliva. Avoiding stress during meals can give digestion a good start.

Warm reminder: Gastric xanthoma is a type of xanthoma. After diagnosis, patients must receive timely symptomatic treatment and eat a reasonable diet. I hope the above dietary principles can help patients. Finally, I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
