Diarrhea

Chronic diarrhea has a long course. Generally, diarrhea continues to occur repeatedly for more than 2 months, which can easily cause the loss of a large number of nutrients. While finding the cause of the disease, we must adjust our diet in time and supplement enough nutrients.

Common causes of chronic diarrhea are:
· Intestinal diseases: Intestinal parasitic diseases, chronic intestinal bacterial infections, inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption syndrome, intestinal malignant tumors and other causes of enteritis.
· Gastrogenic diseases: After subtotal gastrectomy, chronic atrophic gastritis
· Hepatobiliary diseases: Obstructive jaundice, biliary cirrhosis
· Pancreatic diseases: Chronic pancreatitis, post-pancreatectomy
· Gastrointestinal hormone tumors: Gastrinoma, hemolytic active intestinal peptide disease, carcinoid syndrome
· Systemic diseases: Side effects of drugs, endocrine and metabolic disorders, food allergies, immunodeficiency, neurological diarrhea, irritable colon syndrome, etc.

[Dietary advice]

1. People in diarrhea will lose a lot of water and unabsorbed nutrients, so in addition to hydrating, they should also eat foods rich in protein and vitamins that are easy to digest and absorb.
2. Eat foods that are easy to digest, soft in quality, less slag, and non-irritating, and eat small amounts of food to reduce gastrointestinal burden.
3. Foods that are easy to produce gas, are irritating and are rich in dietary fiber should be fasted.
4. Ensure sufficient calories and protein, and be rich in vitamins, inorganic salts and trace elements, especially vitamin C, vitamin B and trace element iron.
5. Gradually increase nutrient intake in a gradual manner. Use easy-to-digest rabbit meat, eggs, chicken, lean meat, etc., and add meals to increase calories throughout the day. When necessary, dietary supplements can be used to supplement vitamins and trace elements.
6. Properly control fat intake. Don't use oily foods and fried foods in the diet. Use less oil when cooking. You can use steaming, braising and water-slip methods.
7. For those with steatorrhea, medium-chain fatty acids can be used instead of daily cooking oil. Common foods containing medium-chain fatty acids include coconut oil, palm kernel oil, cow milk, and breast milk.
8. For patients with celiac disease, a gluten-free diet should be adopted, and all products containing wheat (wheat, barley, oats, malt) and products (gluten, roasted bran, pastries, pastries, wheaten beverages, wine, etc.) should be strictly prohibited.
