Gastritis is a fairly common disease that causes a lot of inconvenience to a sick person. Diet in this case allows to avoid further progression of the disease and achieve a cure, or a stable remission.
In the stage of remission of the chronic inflammatory process of the stomach, patients adhere to the diet recommended by doctors as a table number 15. All is allowed to eat, in moderation, and food is as close as possible to healthy, that is, sweet, hot and fried is presented in the menu in small quantities.
However, with significant violations in nutrition, the presence of addiction to alcohol and nicotine, severe stress , gastritis can again make itself felt in the form of exacerbation. In such cases, patients are forced to eat as a diet for acute, first-time, gastritis.
What kind of diet is recommended for exacerbation of stomach gastritis?
Patients are recommended a diet, called in medicine as a table number 1. It is one of the most strict diets and is shown not only for this disease, but also, for example, in pancreatitis. In this case, the acidity of the gastric contents is of particular importance.
So when choosing what can be eaten with acute gastritis with high acidity, the diet offers the following products:
- non-welded soups on weak broths;
- mucous milk and non-milk porridge (oat, buckwheat, semolina, rice, pearl barley);
- vegetable soups;
- lean almost "to the fibers" lean meat;
- welded "in a bag" eggs;
- compotes, kissels;
- vegetables, past the temperature treatment: potatoes, carrots, beets, cabbage;
- white bread crumbs;
- biscuit-type cookies;
- honey, marshmallows, non-acidic preserves, sugar.
It is important that these foods are served in a warm form, since too cold or hot food can enhance the unpleasant manifestations of gastritis. Vegetables and fruits in their raw form during the recurrence of the disease is not recommended because of the possibility of mechanical damage to the stomach. Food is prepared with the addition of a small amount of salt per steaming, quenching, or baking, but without crusting. Fried dishes and spices are categorically contraindicated. If there are bad habits, they should be abandoned for this period.
Diet for patients with gastritis with low acidity suggests some distinctive features. Atrophic gastritis is usually an old disease and is rare. The essence of nutrition with this kind of gastritis is to stimulate the production of gastric juice to improve the digestion of food.
With this diet, fried dishes are allowed, but without a hard crust. Need to eat in small portions, but more often. This allows you to stimulate the secretory function of the stomach.
I would like to note that if you have excess weight, patients with gastritis should be careful in the question of which diet to choose for weight loss. Categorically excluded rigid mono-diets, with an unbalanced diet, and limit the total number of calories per day can only be exacerbated and by reducing the sweet and fatty foods.
Diet with gastritis in the acute stage in combination with modern medicines allows in the shortest possible time to improve the condition and stabilize the chronic process.
