Can you drink milk powder after a stomach polypectomy?

Patient's question:

My father just had a polypectomy on his stomach. What supplements should he buy? Can he drink milk powder?

Doctor's answer:

You don't need to take supplements specifically. After discharge, patients can eat soft foods and gradually return to normal meals. The main dishes and side dishes should be selected for their nutritional value and easy digestibility. Avoid extremely cold, fried, spicy, and other foods that easily cause gas. Patients should chew their food slowly and eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid high-fat foods and pickled products. Take sufficient digestive iron and vitamins. Smoking and alcohol are prohibited. The patient's diet should be based on their own comfort, with a focus on low-fiber, mild, and easily digestible foods. Eat small meals frequently and avoid overly sweet, salty, or concentrated diets. If nausea and abdominal pain symptoms reappear after a bowel movement, stop eating.
