Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Among all gastroenterological diseases, gastritis accounts for 35%, which, admittedly, is very high. Gastritis can be of two types - with reduced and increased acidity. This indicator shows the concentration of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice.
Causes and Symptoms
Often gastritis occurs under the influence of several factors in parallel. This is a predisposition, and a long reception of antibiotics, and a violation of diet. In addition, the development of gastritis is facilitated by infectious diseases, bad habits, abundant and rare food. In a word, everything that we allow ourselves to do daily, from day to day, will lead to gastritis. So, in the risk zone - almost every inhabitant of the globe.
Before you do diet, consider the symptoms of chronic gastritis.
Symptoms:
- pain in the upper abdomen;
- lack of appetite;
- an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth;
- bad breath;
- eructation;
- heartburn.
These are the main signs characteristic of patients with gastritis with reduced, and with increased acidity.
Diet
Diet for chronic gastritis is not a temporary measure of treatment, but a completely new approach to nutrition, which should be adhered to throughout life. Diet can compete in effectiveness with drug treatment, especially during periods of exacerbations.
With gastritis, diet No. 16 and No. 5 are used.
The essence of the diet for chronic gastritis of the stomach is to eliminate the factors in the diet that contributed to the development of the disease. And these are products that strongly stimulate the gland of internal secretion and require prolonged digestion in the stomach. These include rich soups, fried and smoked food, fresh, sour vegetables and fruits, flour and sweet.
When treating chronic gastritis diet should be discarded:
- coffee, strong tea, cocoa, carbonated water, chocolate;
- spices, mustard, horseradish, sauces, mayonnaise;
- freshly baked bread, dough products;
- cottage cheese, cheese, sour cream, ayran, kefir;
- broths, soup;
- mushrooms, beans;
- fat meat;
- sausages, semi-finished products, smoked products and pickles;
- butter;
- fried.
Allowed:
- steam cooking in the form of souffle, meatballs, cutlet from lean fish, turkey, chicken, rabbit, veal, beef;
- dairy products, steamed and with the addition of milk, cream, low-fat cottage cheese;
- no more than 1 egg per day in the form of a steam omelet;
- rubbed, liquid mucous porridges with the addition (in ready-made porridge!) of milk and cream;
- broth of wild rose, diluted with freshly squeezed juices from non-acidic vegetables and fruits;
- tea with milk or cream;
- jellies, mousses, soufflé, kissels, puddings;
- baked or stewed vegetables and fruits;
- soups with mashed potatoes, milk, noodles;
- Beets and carrots in raw form, mashed;
- dried bread, not cookies;
- maximum 70 grams of sugar per day.
You should pay attention to the number of meals for gastritis. Frequent meals with small portions - 4 - 6 times a day. The patient should not have time to feel acute hunger, because at such times, the secretion of gastric juice increases and the walls of the stomach become even more inflamed.
Food during a diet with exacerbation of chronic gastritis should be warm, not hot and cold.
Also we must not forget about another unpleasant factor. Many people begin to show abundant secretion of gastric juices already at the sight and smell of food. This can not be tolerated. Therefore, at the beginning of treatment should avoid visits to guests, restaurants, as well as not watch culinary shows on TV.
