Lao Wang likes drinking since he was a child and drinks every day. Later, he was diagnosed with alcoholic hepatitis in the hospital. After that, Lao Wang's wife kept a strict check on his daily diet and dared not give him too much for fear of hurting his liver. I heard that fungus is the "hair" of liver disease, and eating too much will hurt the liver. Using mobile phone search, I found that there is indeed news that eating fungus leads to liver failure. So when I accompanied Lao Wang to the hospital for reexamination, I specifically asked the doctor. Can patients with liver disease eat fungus? What foods need to be shut up?

Is auricularia auricula the hair of liver disease?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that auricularia auricula has the effects of tonifying the middle warmer, moistening the lungs and relieving cough. It can not only improve dizziness and headache caused by deficiency of qi and blood, but also be used as an auxiliary treatment for cough caused by lung heat. Auricularia auricula is a fungus, which is rich in polysaccharide, protein, carotene, iron and other nutrients. But what is certain is that Auricularia auricula does not have the "hair" function that we often say will aggravate the condition or delay the recovery. In the news, the reason why auricularia auricula leads to liver failure is that the time is too long or the temperature is too high, which leads to the breeding of pseudomonas cocoanum by auricularia auricula, which can produce rice fermentation acid. Rice yeast acid has high heat resistance and is not easy to be destroyed by high temperature. Excessive intake can lead to poisoning, with mild symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. In severe cases, liver failure, hepatic coma, central nervous paralysis and even death due to respiratory failure may occur.

Therefore, we should pay attention to the brewing methods of foods such as fungus and tremella. Generally, it can be soaked at the same water temperature as room temperature for about 4 hours, and it is not allowed to soak for too long. In addition, it is generally suggested that auricularia auricula can be completely soaked and cooked, so as to ensure the nutritional value of auricularia auricula without irritating our gastric mucosa.

The doctor reminds: The following foods should be kept away from the table of patients with liver disease.

1) wine

As we all know, alcohol can damage the liver. But there are still some patients with liver disease who think it's better to drink less. In fact, no matter how much you drink, it will do harm to your liver. Therefore, patients with liver disease should give up drinking in order to prevent their condition from getting worse.

2) Deteriorated and moldy food

Some people are frugal and may put food in the refrigerator for a long time before eating. But if the food is left for a long time, it is like fungus, tremella, yuba and so on. When food vacuoles grow long, it is likely to breed bacteria and fungi, and these pathogens will not only harm our bodies, but also produce toxins. Especially foods like corn and peanuts may contain Aspergillus flavus, and aflatoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus will also cause damage to the liver. So if the food is left too long or moldy, don't eat it even if there is no moldy part.

abstract

The diet of patients with liver disease should be light and nutritious, and should be chosen according to their actual situation. If they want a healthy liver, they should avoid eating expired and moldy food, abstain from drinking and abusing drugs, follow the doctor's advice and don't blindly copy others' opinions.
