Patient's question:
Three days ago, I suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, and body aches all over. After a thorough examination at the emergency department of the hospital, it was discovered that I have Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome. Hello, do you have any friends who are familiar with this disease? If so, do you know what I should avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
The production of Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome is related to both congenital and acquired factors. The so-called acquired causes mainly refer to dietary aspects. For example, consuming high-fat, high-oil foods can lead to delayed gastric emptying or accumulation of intestinal contents, which are closely related to these factors. Therefore, individuals with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome should avoid such difficult-to-digest foods, especially fried foods. It is recommended to eat small, frequent meals and rest in a supine position after meals as much as possible.
