As a rule, such nutrition is prescribed for medical studies of the abdominal cavity (ultrasound, irrigoscopy, colonoscopy) or before routine surgical interventions.

Such indications for use are related to the fact that the body must get rid of harmful substances as much as possible in order to obtain a reliable diagnostic picture. In some cases, food is used as a discharge, to prevent slagging, to eliminate problems with the gastrointestinal tract. The diet can be used without medical appointment, so to use it or not, everyone decides for himself, but there are a number of common indications:

Slag-free diet before operation

With indications for surgical intervention, the patient must undergo a number of preparatory procedures. Slag-free diet before operation is included in this complex. Restrictions in nutrition are necessary for cleaning the intestines, so that after the application of anesthesia, there are no undesirable reactions, in the form of nausea and vomiting. The diet is observed for 3-5 days and is stopped 12 hours before the operation. During this period, it is contraindicated to take any food.

The slag-free diet should consist of:

• Low-fat meat and fish
• Boiled vegetables
• Kashi
• Gallet biscuits, crackers

Under the ban fall:

• Wholegrain and dairy products
• Fresh fruits and vegetables
• Alcohol, carbonated drinks, strong coffee and tea
• Various spicy spices
• Vegetable and animal fats

Compliance with these recommendations helps to minimize the risks of complications. If the patient has broken the slag-free diet or did not comply with it at all, this can lead to serious consequences. First of all, it's vomiting under anesthesia - vomit gets into the lungs, complicating the work of doctors. Medical statistics recorded a number of deaths for this reason. Vomiting attacks complicate the action of anesthetics, so the patient excruciates from anesthesia.

With the difficulties of the pre-operational period, smokers also face. Many of them are frightened by the upcoming operation, so they give up the addiction the day before the operation. This does not affect its outcome in any way, but it negatively affects the recovery period. That's why doctors recommend not to smoke 7-10 days before the planned surgical intervention. This rule applies to alcohol. The above recommendations and a slag-free diet are relevant in the event that before the surgery are prepared in advance for 1-3 weeks. In case of emergency, the surgeon will not postpone the procedure, and wait for cleaning the digestive tract.
