What diet should tuberculosis patients not eat? Tuberculosis is a chronic consumptive disease, in which tuberculosis is more common. Patients need high protein, high sugar, high fat and other nutritious food. However, when tuberculosis patients take isoniazid and rifampicin, some foods often cause food poisoning or food allergy
Eggplant:
It is easy for tuberculosis patients to be allergic to eggplant in anti tuberculosis treatment. The results of random sampling study showed that all patients in the group of eating eggplant had different degrees of allergic reactions in 40-60 minutes. Such as facial flushing, skin itching, irritability, systemic erythema, chest tightness and other allergic reactions. If this happens after eating eggplant, the mild patients can take antiallergic drugs, and no longer eat eggplant and other similar foods for a period of time. If it is serious, the doctor should be called for rescue treatment.
Milk:
After taking rifampicin orally and taking milk at the same time, there was little drug absorption one hour later. The drug concentration in the blood can reach the peak one hour after taking it on an empty stomach. Therefore, during taking rifampicin and risperidone, do not eat milk and other drinks at the same time, in order to prevent reducing the absorption of drugs. Taking isoniazid is not suitable to eat lactose and sugary food, because lactose can completely hinder the absorption of isoniazid by human body, making it unable to exert its efficacy.
Some fish:
The fish that can cause allergy are usually scaleless, fresh sea fish and freshwater fish. Scaly fish include tuna, mackerel, Spanish mackerel, horse mackerel, pod, squid, sardine, etc. Not fresh sea fish, such as hairtail, yellow croaker, etc. Freshwater fish such as carp. In the course of using isoniazid to treat tuberculosis, eating these fish is prone to allergic symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, skin flushing, mild conjunctival congestion in mild cases, face flushing, burning sensation, palpitation, rapid pulse, lip and face numbness, urticaria like rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dyspnea, elevated blood pressure in severe cases, and even hypertension crisis and cerebral infarction Bleeding. Death has been reported both at home and abroad. The reason is that isoniazid is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. The histamine content of these fishes is very high, so they lack a large number of effective monoamine oxidase to oxidize them, resulting in a large amount of histamine accumulation, causing the above symptoms. It is not only forbidden to eat fish with high histamine content during the period of taking isoniazid, but also forbidden to eat these fish after 2 weeks of withdrawal. When eating other fish, add Hawthorn in cooking, then steamed or braised, or add some vinegar, histamine content can be reduced. In case of poisoning reaction, they should be sent to the hospital for rescue.
Don't eat more spinach
Spinach is a kind of nutrient rich vegetables, is a good friend of human health, but tuberculosis patients should not eat more spinach. The reason is that spinach is rich in oxalic acid. According to the determination, every 100 grams of spinach contains 360 mg of oxalic acid. After oxalic acid enters the human body, it is easy to combine with calcium to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which can not be absorbed, resulting in calcium deficiency in the human body, thus delaying the recovery of the disease.
Therefore, tuberculosis patients should eat less or no spinach. If you have to eat, you can blanch spinach in hot water to make some oxalic acid dissolve in water, and then take it out for consumption, so that the human body can reduce the intake of some oxalic acid.
