Diet for gastritis: menus, recipes and principles of home nutrition

Nutritional therapy for gastritis reduces stomach upset and pain caused by inflammation.

The 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 phase of the disease. Tables 1, 4, 5 have several options. In the number of the main diet, they are designated by letters and used depending on the severity of symptoms, the period of the disease (acute form, fainting, chronic).

How much should you diet with gastritis? Close monitoring is necessary during an exacerbation and in the first months afterward. But ideally, a patient diagnosed with gastritis should adhere to the recommended table during remission. However, menu extensions and holiday exceptions are possible. If only within reasonable limits, and if we are not talking about coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and fatty foods.

Diet for stomach gastritis: basic rules

Regarding the organization of the diet for gastritis at home, the gastroenterologist advises patients to adhere to five key rules.

1. Food processing. For gastritis, food must be thermally processed. Even raw vegetables and fruits are an exceptional case. Meat and fish are not eaten in pieces. These products are separated from bones, skin, tendons and are prepared in the form of meatballs, chops, cabbage rolls.
2. Fractional menu. Food for gastritis should be frequent. But you should eat in small portions, at regular intervals. Ideally, the patient eats four to five times a day every three hours. The last meal is no later than 7: 00 PM. Patients diagnosed with gastritis should chew all food thoroughly.
3. Drink lots of fluids. With gastritis, you need to drink a lot. Especially still alkaline drinks. The following waters are suitable for patients with gastritis: "Essentuki", "Borzhomi", "Mirgorodskaya". To remove carbon dioxide, the bottle is uncorked and placed in a container with warm water for about 20 minutes, this drink is useful before meals. In addition to medicinal water, for gastritis, patients are shown compotes of dried fruits and fresh berries.
4. First courses. Soups are essential in the diet of a patient with gastritis. However, preference is given to vegetarian recipes or second or third non-rich meat broths.
5. Cooking food. Gastritis patients are prohibited from eating very hot or very cold food. Food can be steamed, boiled, or baked without the crust. Nothing fried, pickled, canned, fermented with a diagnosis of gastritis is impossible. Porridge is boiled in water or half milk without butter. Also, at the stage of exacerbation of gastritis and in the presence of severe clinical symptoms, it is better to follow the recommendations for cooking, which are prescribed in therapeutic diet No. 1. It was developed by Manuil Pevzner. In particular, it is preferable to eat food in its pure form. The products are brought to the state of soufflé or pate with a strainer, as well as with a mixer. Table number 1 is usually prescribed during a peptic ulcer exacerbation.

In many ways, the diet for gastritis resembles the recommended menu for children in the first years of life. There is no place for greasy, fried and sweet things. Dishes are prepared without spices and with a minimal amount of flavoring spices. And to facilitate the digestion process, the food is chopped as much as possible.

Principles of a low acid diet

The main function of nutrition in this type of gastritis is to stimulate the production of enzymes and acid in the stomach, to accelerate the passage of food to the intestines.

Preference should be given to pureed and liquid foods, but, unlike other forms of gastritis, acidic foods are acceptable, for example, kefir, fresh cottage cheese, citrus fruits. Outside the period of exacerbations, you can even eat fried food, but strictly without breading and limiting the amount of oil. The temperature of food should not be higher than 60 degrees or lower than 15. The caloric content of the daily diet is up to 2500-3000 kcal.

Principles of a diet for gastritis with high acidity

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: nothing fried, salty, smoked, spicy, a lot of liquid and pureed food, small portions. The products should not provoke the secretion of gastric juice, remain in the stomach for a long time, and, in addition, irritate the mucous membrane. The principles of nutrition are almost identical to the diet for acute gastritis, however, cutlets, dumplings are introduced into the diet, the daily salt intake is slightly increased (up to 8 g), and bakery products are allowed. Food is best steamed, steamed, boiled, or baked, eaten hot, and chewed well.

The normal caloric intake for high acid gastritis is 2200-2500 kcal. Often the patient is prescribed additional vitamin complexes to compensate for the lack of vitamins.

Dietary principles for acute diseases

If an exacerbation of the disease occurs, then it would be reasonable for this period to completely exclude any food for the patient and give his digestive system a rest. In the event that the acute form of the disease is caused by intoxication or by taking certain medications, you must first wash the gastrointestinal tract and induce vomiting.

Shown to drink hot liquids and tea on the first day. The next day, if the patient's condition has improved, you can gradually begin the process of feeding liquid food. At first, it is recommended to use liquid milk and cereal soups, meat and fish purees. It is also allowed:

• weak tea,
• decoctions,
• gelatin,
• honey.

When exacerbating, exclude from diet:

• fresh vegetables and fruits
• meat broths,
• fermented dairy products
• carbonated drinks,
• coffee,
• sweets,
• any bakery product,
• cheese.

All meals should be steamed and served warm. The caloric content of the diet should not exceed 2000 kcal.
