What should not be eaten for ulcerative proctitis

What should not be eaten for ulcerative proctitis?

It is generally not recommended for patients with ulcerative proctitis to eat spicy and irritating foods, greasy foods, high-fiber foods, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and other drugs, as follows:

1. Food

1. Spicy food

Patients with ulcerative proctitis usually experience varying degrees of abdominal pain under the stimulation of inflammation. At this time, patients are generally not recommended to eat spicy foods such as peppers, wine, mustard, ginger, etc., to prevent intestinal mucosal irritation and aggravate the degree of abdominal pain.

2. Greasy food

Patients with ulcerative proctitis have reduced digestive ability and should also avoid eating greasy foods such as fat, fried foods, cakes, etc. to prevent increasing the burden on intestinal digestion and causing nausea and vomiting in patients.

3. High-fiber foods

Patients with ulcerative proctitis may also experience diarrhea accompanied by mucus, pus and blood in the stool. At this time, they should avoid eating high-fiber foods such as leeks, celery, spinach, and bananas to prevent friction between the food fiber and the intestinal wall, which may aggravate the symptoms.

2. Drugs

1. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Patients with ulcerative proctitis should also avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, acetaminophen tablets, diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, and aspirin enteric-coated tablets to avoid damaging the gastrointestinal mucosa and worsening the condition.

2. Antibiotics

If the patient does not have a secondary infection, he or she should also avoid taking antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin, amoxicillin, etc. to prevent the disruption of the balance of intestinal flora, which leads to increased intestinal toxins, irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, and aggravation of diarrhea symptoms.

In addition to the common foods and drugs mentioned above, patients should also avoid eating raw and cold foods such as ice cream, iced drinks, and refrigerated fruits, and do not blindly take hormone drugs such as pine and prednisone to prevent aggravation of disease symptoms. In life, patients should mainly eat light and easily digestible foods, and eat fresh vegetables and fruits in moderation, which will help promote recovery from the disease. It is recommended that patients follow up regularly and maintain a happy mood, which is also conducive to improving the disease.
