Diet Recommendations For Gallbladder Cancer Patients
Surgical Oncologist Dr V Balasubramaniam discusses diet recommendations for gallbladder cancer patients.
Why are dietary modifications advised for patients who have undergone surgery?
Patients who have undergone surgery for gallbladder are advised dietary modifications, since the gallbladder is completely removed, the bile does not get concentrated and is constantly released. When a patient consumes food - there is no bile available to digest the fats and other substances in the food. hence they are advised to avoid high-fat food. In the initial recovery journey post-surgery, Dr Bala recommends eating small frequent meals. High-calorie, high protein - low-fat diet is recommended.
What happens when patients do not take diet recommendations?
Many times when patients do not observe strict diet recommendations post-surgery they start getting diarrhea and loose motion due to indigestion, in such mild symptomatic cases, modification of diet helps get over it. Incase of overtly symptomatic patients, medications are prescribed to help them overcome indigestion
