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 special supplements. After discharge, patients can eat soft foods and have bowel movements. The main dishes and side dishes should be selected for nutritious and easily digestible foods. Avoid extremely cold, fried, sour, spicy, and other foods that easily cause gas. Patients should chew slowly and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid high-fat foods and pickled foods. Take sufficient digestive iron and vitamins. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. The patient's diet should be based on the feeling of no discomfort, with a principle of low residue, mild, and easily digestible food. Eat small meals frequently and avoid overly sweet, salty, or concentrated food. If nausea and abdominal pain symptoms reappear after a bowel movement, stop defecating.
