Nutritional therapy for gastritis reduces stomach discomfort and pain caused by inflammation.
Correctly selected menu contributes to the effectiveness of therapeutic measures, the normalization of digestion. The diet for gastritis of the stomach includes treatment tables No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The choice of a specific menu depends on the level of acidity, the stage of the disease. Tables 1, 4, 5 have several options. In the number of the main diet, they are designated by letters and are used according to the severity of symptoms, the period of the disease (acute, faded, chronic form).
How much should you diet with gastritis? Strict control is required during an exacerbation and in the first few months thereafter. But ideally, a patient diagnosed with gastritis should adhere to the recommended chart during remission. However, menu extensions and holiday exceptions are possible. At least within reasonable limits, and if we are not talking about coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and fatty foods.
Diet for gastritis of the stomach: basic rules
Regarding the organization of the diet for gastritis at home, the gastroenterologist advises patients to adhere to five key rules.
- Food processing. For gastritis, foods must be heat treated. Raw fruits and vegetables are also an exceptional case. Meat and fish are not eaten in pieces. These products are separated from bones, skin, tendons and prepared in the form of meatballs, cutlets, cabbage rolls.
- Fractional menu. Food for gastritis should be frequent. But you have to eat in small portions, at regular intervals. Ideally, the patient eats four to five times a day every three hours. The last meal is by 7 pm. Patients diagnosed with gastritis should chew all food thoroughly.
- Drink plenty of fluids. With gastritis, you should drink a lot. Especially alkaline drinks. The following waters are suitable for patients with gastritis: "Essentuki", "Borzhomi", "Mirgorodskaya". To eliminate carbon dioxide, the bottle must be uncorked and placed in a bowl of hot water for about 20 minutes, a useful drink before meals. In addition to medicinal water, for gastritis, patients are shown compotes of dried fruit and fresh berries.
- First courses. Soups are a must in the diet of a patient with gastritis. Instead, we prefer vegetarian recipes or second or third not rich meat broths.
- Cooking food. Patients with gastritis are not allowed to eat very hot or very cold foods. Food can be steamed, boiled, or cooked without the crust. Anything fried, pickled, canned, fermented with a diagnosis of gastritis is impossible. Porridge is boiled in water or half a milk without butter. In addition, in the stage of exacerbation of gastritis and in the presence of severe clinical symptoms, it is better to follow the recommendations for cooking, prescribed by the therapeutic diet No. 1. It was developed by Manuil Pevzner. In particular, it is preferable to eat food in pure form. Products are brought to the state of soufflé or pate with a sieve, as well as a blender. Table number 1 is usually prescribed during an exacerbation of the peptic ulcer.
In many ways, the dietary diet for gastritis resembles the recommended menu for children in the first years of life. There is no place for fatty, fried and sweet foods. The dishes are prepared without spices and with a minimal amount of aromatic spices. And to facilitate the digestion process, food is cut out as much as possible.
Principles of the low acid diet
The main task of nutrition in this type of gastritis is to stimulate the production of enzymes and acids in the stomach, to accelerate the passage of food into the intestine.
Preference should be given to pureed and liquid food, but, unlike other forms of gastritis, acidic foods are acceptable, for example, kefir, fresh cottage cheese, citrus. Outside the period of exacerbations, you can also eat fried, but strictly without breading and limiting the amount of oil. The temperature of the food should not be higher than 60 degrees and not lower than 15. The calorie content of the daily diet is up to 2500-3000 kcal.
Principles of a diet for high acid gastritis
Regardless of the causes of inflammation of the gastric mucosa, it is important to follow the diet when treating gastritis with high acidity.
It is similar to the treatment of the acute phase: no fried, salty, smoked, spicy foods, a lot of liquid and pureed food, small portions. Products should not provoke the secretion of gastric juice, stay in the stomach for a long time, and additionally irritate the mucous membrane. The nutritional principles are almost identical to the diet for acute gastritis, however, cutlets, meatballs are introduced into the diet, the daily salt intake is slightly increased (up to 8 g), and baked goods are allowed. Food is best steamed, stewed, boiled or cooked, eaten hot, chewing thoroughly.
The normal calorie intake for gastritis with high acidity is 2200–2500 kcal. Often the patient is additionally prescribed vitamin complexes to compensate for the lack of vitamins.
Dietary principles for acute disease
If an exacerbation of the disease occurs, it would be reasonable for this period to completely exclude all nutrition of the patient and give his digestive system rest. In the event that the acute form of the disease is caused by poisoning or taking certain drugs, it is necessary to first wash the gastrointestinal tract and induce vomiting.
Drinking hot liquids and tea is shown on the first day. The next day, if the patient's condition has improved, the process of feeding liquid food can gradually begin. At first, it is recommended to use liquid soups of milk and cereals, puree of meat and fish. Also allowed:
- weak tea,
- decoctions,
- gelatin,
- honey.
In case of exacerbation, exclude from the diet:
- fresh fruit and vegetables,
- meat broths,
- fermented milk products,
- Carbonated drinks,
- coffee,
- sweets,
- any baked product,
- cheese.
All meals must be steamed and served lukewarm. The calorie content of the diet should not exceed 2000 kcal.
