Eating with gastritis

Gastritis( inflammation of the stomach) affects a large part of the adult population. Acute forms are more often observed with poisoning in children. Chronic - proceed with a change in the functional state of the lining cells. Therefore, the acidity of the gastric juice deviates from normal.

Compliance with a diet with a superficial gastritis with a light course allows you to dispense with the use of medication. Patients with this disease are well aware of what foods they cause an exacerbation.

It is not easy to organize proper nutrition with gastritis, especially if there are no conditions for this at work. You have to cook at home and carry a bag of food that you can eat. But compliance with the diet gives such an astonishing result that you do not need to agitate for a long time.

General requirements for a diet for gastritis patients

The doctor can correctly assign dietary food to the patient only after examination, revealing the nature of the changes in the gastric mucosa by means of fibrogastroscopy, and the determination of acidity. In addition, it is possible to combine with other diseases of the intestine, liver, pancreas, gall bladder.

The optimal number of dietary health food is selected( tables for Pevzner).Thus, with reduced acidity, it is recommended No. 2, with elevated-No.1, depending on the stage of inflammation, 1a( acute stage) and 1b( symptom fading) is released.

If gastritis is combined with a dysfunction of the liver and gallbladder, make up a combination of a list of foods and products to treat the stomach with diet number 5.The concept of "table with gastritis" includes for the medical worker the necessary requirements for the allowed products, their correct processing, the composition of the menu for the day.

Regardless of the form of the disease, a gastric gastritis diet requires:

• to provide maximum rest( shining) to the affected organ, this makes it possible to relieve abdominal pain, maintain mucosal damage in organic acids, extracts, essential oils, salt, carbon dioxide, soluble sugars;
• should not be mechanically re-irritated( therefore, dishes are cooked in a garbled form), they should not contain fibers from connective tissue( meat is cleared of tendons and fasciae, poultry from the skin, contraindicated in coarse flour, bran, millet, legumes)use carrots and beets;
• organize a fractional diet in small portions( 5-6 times a day), avoid overeating;
• to exclude the temperature effect of hot or cold food, with inflammation of the stomach the temperature of the dish should be moderately warm( optimally 37-38 degrees);
• provide a sufficient supply of energy for the life of the organism with the diet.

Wheat bran is useful for a healthy stomach, but because of the high concentration of cellulose adversely affect gastritis

The compilation of a dietary allowance considers that only 3 kg of food per day is needed for an adult. In the acute stage, the volume and caloric content are reduced with a therapeutic purpose and in the future they must compensate for the energy costs of the whole organism.

It is accepted to allocate:

• up to 30% kcal for the first breakfast;
• 10-15% - on the second;
• up to 40% for lunch;
• 15-20% for dinner.

Features of food products

The diet table for gastritis takes into account the peculiarities of the composition of food and its effect on digestion. Dietitians identify products that have a weak stimulating effect on the lining of the gastric mucosa, which practically do not affect the synthesis of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice.

These include weak tea, drinking and mineral water of sulphate-magnesium composition without gas, fresh cottage cheese, dried wheat bread, sugar, boiled meat and fish, vegetable puree from potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, trout, non-vegetable vegetable soups, porridgewater.

Meat with garnish from pasta stomach to evaporate much more difficult

For a long time in the stomach such berries as prunes, raisins. And, if the food is cooked in a liquid or mushy form, it is easily digested. Therefore, it is better to delay the inclusion of dry berries in food for 2 months after exacerbation of gastritis.

Fats have little effect on the secretory function of the stomach, but are delayed for a long time, with difficulty split. This requires the restriction of fatty foods due to animal fats, a little vegetable oil is allowed.

It is difficult for the inflamed stomach to digest the coarse fibers of cellulose, which normally provide irreplaceable cleaning action.
