During the Spring Festival, everyone will inevitably eat a variety of foods, but for our patients with liver cirrhosis, if you are accompanied by portal hypertension, esophageal and gastric varices, it is best not to eat these types of foods during the New Year, as it will cause gastrointestinal bleeding and bring danger to the patient's life.
First, don't eat dumplings. Dumpling wrappers are unfermented flour that are digested and decomposed to produce acids that corrode the stomach wall and make the already weak blood vessels of patients with cirrhosis more dangerous.
Second, don't eat fried goods. Every household in the north will make a lot of fried food, such as fried fish, fried lotus root box, etc., the fried food is relatively hard, if you don't chew carefully, it is easy to cut the varicose blood vessels, causing gastrointestinal bleeding.
Third, don't eat nuts. Snacks such as nuts will definitely be prepared at home during the Chinese New Year, and patients with liver cirrhosis should avoid such foods. If you are not careful, you can also puncture the blood vessels and cause bleeding.
If you really want to eat, don't be in a hurry and chew slowly. Patients with liver cirrhosis should eat a healthy diet, regular work and rest, health is the basis of a happy New Year, I hope everyone can remember the above three points.
