Undoubtedly, the result of treatment of appendicitis depends on a successful operation. But the recovery period is also very important. Even after the most successful operation to remove appendicitis, in case of failure to comply with all the doctor's recommendations, problems may arise.
It should be remembered that after the operation you should follow a certain diet. Alcohol is a taboo of any post-operative diet. Alcohol after appendicitis should be completely ruled out.
After the operation, you can not even eat much, not to mention drinking alcoholic beverages. Alcohol has a detrimental effect on all mucous membranes. It can only exacerbate the situation and prevent recovery. Moreover, after the operation, patients take antibiotics. Alcohol and antibiotics are absolutely incompatible things. They change the action of antibiotics, which are intended for the final cure of the disease, and alcohol puts it in doubt.
But this is not the worst thing. The interaction of these two factors can lead to serious consequences. As a result, you may have vomiting, shortness of breath, cramps. In some cases, a lethal outcome is possible. We will have to give up alcohol for no less than 2-3 weeks. And if complications arise after the operation, then this period depends on the doctor's instructions.
In the post-operative period, your diet should include only light foods. After returning to your regular diet, you can start drinking alcohol. But it should be started cautiously, gradually step by step. First you can drink a small fortress in small doses. For example, a couple of glasses of white dry wine. Such drinks as cognac, whiskey, vodka are allowed only after complete recovery and the end of the recovery period. But it should be noted that even after this, not all patients can abuse these drinks in order to avoid complications.
After the operation, too, salt, spicy, oily, sweet and flour foods should be discarded. That is, all heavy products that negatively affect the gastrointestinal tract should be disregarded. The food should be separate with a large number of liquid dishes. This will help your speedy recovery.
Of course, should be prescribed to every patient by a doctor. He should explain to the patient in detail what he can, and what - absolutely not.
