Clinically, we often meet some patients with cholelithiasis. After eating fried eggs or fried rice with eggs, I suddenly have epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting, and even biliary colic, which leads to cholecystitis. Therefore, many patients think that gallstones should not eat eggs and dare not eat them. So are eggs related to cholecystitis?
The incidence of gallstones in middle-aged people is high, which is easy to cause biliary colic and often recurs. This is because patients with gallstones can shrink their gallbladder after eating a high-fat diet, pushing gallstones into the neck and bile duct of the gallbladder, thus causing serious biliary colic. Because egg yolk contains high cholesterol, it is not only easy to induce biliary colic, but also promote the formation of cholesterol gallstones. Patients with gallstones must limit greasy food, including fried eggs, because in the process of frying eggs, fat produces internal aldehyde at high temperature, which can reflexively cause biliary tract spasm and stimulate biliary tract to cause biliary colic.
However, this does not mean that cholelithiasis patients cannot eat eggs. Egg white contains a lot of protein, which belongs to protein food. If you use other cooking methods such as boiling water, you can still eat a small amount. Clinical practice has proved that a small amount of eggs can promote bile to be excreted from gallbladder in time and prevent cholestasis and gallstone formation. Therefore, cholelithiasis patients do not avoid eating eggs.
At present, some patients' dietary restrictions are too strict, which leads to malnutrition and weakness. There are also some patients who eat and drink without restraint, and as a result, they often have biliary colic and even pancreatitis. Therefore, it is suggested that patients with gallstones arrange their diet reasonably and scientifically. In addition to eggs, the diet containing protein also includes skim milk, tofu, soybean milk, fish, chicken and a small amount of lean meat.
In addition, in order to prevent the recurrence of biliary colic, you should eat more foods containing vitamin A in peacetime, because this will be conducive to the growth of bile duct epithelium and the recovery of bile duct function. It is necessary to limit fatty foods, eat more low-cholesterol foods, and limit the intake of animal viscera, fat, brain, bone marrow, fish eggs, squid and other foods.
