Patient's question:
Brother often drinks alcohol because he is a long-distance train driver, lacks exercise, and has irregular diet and sleep habits for many years. In recent years, he has frequently experienced lower abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, and constipation. His health is not good. He often feels easily tired, weak, and lacking energy. Upon examination, he was diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease.Doctor's answer:
Alcohol liver disease patients must strictly limit the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods. The proportion of fat calories should account for 15%-20% of total calories. Due to the decline in liver function in alcohol liver disease patients, increased bile excretion leads to impaired absorption of high-fat and high-sugar foods, resulting in fat accumulation and worsening of the condition. Patients should avoid fried foods, animal organs, and egg yolks, as these are difficult to digest and can relieve liver pressure and interfere with the condition. When facing alcohol liver disease, patients should actively undergo examinations and treatment, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If alcohol liver disease does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
