Postoperative diet for patients with esophageal cancer

After esophageal cancer surgery, there will be various discomforts in the chest and stomach, such as palpitations and chest tightness, so you should not eat too much each time, and it is better to eat small meals frequently. Because patients are prone to reflux symptoms after eating after anastomosis, it is best to move around for a while after eating. After 30 minutes, lie down and rest to allow part of the food in the stomach to go down to relieve reflux.

Example of diet therapy after esophageal cancer surgery:

1. Fish Maw and Pork Soup with Amomum villosum

(1) Ingredients: 10g Amomum villosum, 50g fish maw, 150g lean pork.

(2) Method:

① Crush the Amomum villosum, wrap it in gauze and set aside; soak the fish fillet until soft and cut into thin strips; chop the lean pork into meat paste.

②First, simmer the fish maw with an appropriate amount of water until most of it is dissolved, then add the Amomum villosum and meat paste and cook for half an hour, remove the Amomum villosum, and season with salt before serving.

(3) Scope of application and efficacy: It is suitable for patients with esophageal cancer who have symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness, such as weight loss, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, fatigue, pale and fat tongue, white and moist tongue coating, and deep and fine pulse. This prescription can be used for patients with stomach cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer who have symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness. It helps to strengthen the spleen and stomach.

(4) Notes:

① The key points of using this prescription are to treat patients with sallow complexion, fatigue, poor appetite, pale tongue, and deep and thin pulse, which are caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness.

② If there is dry throat, bitter taste in the mouth, constipation, yellow urine, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and rapid pulse indicating internal obstruction of damp-heat, this prescription is not suitable.

③ If there is no Amomum villosum, you can use 10 grams of White Cardamom Seed instead, and use it the same way as Amomum villosum.

2. Stewed raw fish with ginseng and astragalus:

(1) Ingredients: 1 raw fish (about 250 g), 10 g ginseng, 30 g astragalus, and 5 red dates.
