Patient's question:
My grandfather was diagnosed with Down syndrome three months ago and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. However, it seems to be difficult to treat. I don't know what to pay attention to in terms of diet during the treatment. What should be noted in diet when treating Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Add a small amount of lean meat and other protein-rich foods appropriately. Avoid overly salty dishes; steaming is preferred, and frying should be avoided. Avoid overeating, high-fat, spicy, and irritating diets. The diet should be light and palatable. Fresh vegetables such as cabbage, Chinese cabbage, radishes, carrots, tomatoes, etc., can provide various vitamins and inorganic salts, helping to restore the body's metabolic functions.
