Patient's question:
The child has had three episodes of epilepsy in the past two months. When checked at the hospital, it was found that there is an arteriovenous malformation in his brain. After the surgery, he has lost a lot of weight, and it can be felt that his body is very weak. I want to cook some soup for him to supplement his nutrition, but I don't know what foods he cannot eat. What should I do? What are the dietary restrictions for patients with epilepsy and brain arteriovenous malformation?Doctor's answer:
1. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and less fatty meat. Vegetables and fruits contain vitamins and fiber, which can keep bowel movements smooth.2. Carbohydrates such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, porridge, and pasta should be the main food in your diet. Too much miscellaneous food can affect appetite and lead to nutritional disorders.
3. Milk, soy milk, eggs, yogurt, meat, and other foods are rich in protein. Also, choose foods high in vitamins, as vitamin A can enhance the body's resistance and promote brain development.
