Tag: Esophageal diet

According to the National Institutes of Health, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low in red meat may reduce the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. An esophageal diet is a therapeutic eating plan designed to help manage various conditions affecting the esophagus, the tube connecting your throat to your stomach. This diet often involves modifying food textures and avoiding irritants to reduce pain and inflammation.

Immediately after a diagnosis, patients with a perforated esophagus are typically not allowed to eat or drink anything by mouth to allow the injury to heal. Navigating the dietary stages that follow—from liquids to soft foods—is critical for a safe recovery and to ensure you get proper nutrition while your esophagus mends.
