gastritis diet

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach wall.Gastritis is hypoacidic and hyperacidic (i.e., high or low acidity).

It is known that the stomach produces hydrochloric acid, the amount of which determines the type of gastritis.Diet plays a leading role in the treatment of gastritis.

basic dietary rules

The main goal of the gastritis diet is to adhere to a diet that ensures normal digestion.

A gastritis treatment schedule (daily) should include:

• 90-100 grams.Protein (60% animal),
• 90-100 grams.Fat (75% animal fat)
• 400-420 grams.carbohydrate.

The total energy value should be 2800-3000 kcal.

Nutritional rules for gastritis

power mode

First, you should follow a meal plan (at the same time).Secondly, patients with gastritis should eat small and frequent meals, 4-5 times a day, but at the same time it is necessary to avoid snacks (they can cause "excessive" secretion of gastric juice and reduce the production of gastric juice during breakfast/lunch/dinner, thereby disrupting the processing and absorption of food).

It is strictly prohibited to eat while reading, watching TV, or running while eating.

Understand the metrics

For gastritis, the saying "feel slightly hungry after a meal" is more relevant than ever.

First of all, you will not feel full until 10-15 minutes after eating, and secondly, a full stomach cannot adapt to its functions well, especially with gastritis.

Chew food

Chewing food for longer periods of time (at least 25-30 seconds per piece) promotes more thorough mechanical processing of the food, making stomach upsets more likely.In addition, hunger is satisfied more quickly in this case (which prevents overeating).

Say no to complicated dishes

The menu for gastritis should consist of simple but varied dishes.The large number of ingredients in the dish makes it difficult for the stomach to digest.

Take a break after eating

You need to rest for 15-20 minutes after each meal (not necessarily sleeping).You can read a book or listen to music.

Taboo foods for gastritis

As acidity increases

For gastritis with increased hydrochloric acid production, the diet should be aimed at reducing gastric juice formation.Therefore, the principles of the treatment table have three points:

• mechanical– Avoid foods with high fiber content (bran bread, turnips, radishes, “old” meat);
• Chemical– Foods that increase the production of gastric juices (alcohol, coffee, cabbage, citrus fruits, sour fruits and berries, thick soups) are prohibited;
• hot– Do not eat food that is too cold or, conversely, food that is too hot (optimum temperature is 50 degrees).

Contraindicated foods for hyperacidity:

• fresh, especially warm bread, butter pastries, and puff pastry;
• Cereals: pearl barley, beans, millet, barley, corn (crude fiber);
• Rich meat and fish soups, okroshka, borscht, mushroom soup (containing many extracts that stimulate the production of gastric juices);
• Fatty and sticky varieties of any meat: duck, chicken, pork, bacon (they are difficult to digest in the stomach and increase the formation of hydrochloric acid);
• High-fat and salted fish (stimulates the formation of gastric juices);
• Cultured dairy products (all types of sharp cheese, sour cream only);
• Vegetables: rutabagas, radishes, carrots, sorrel, spinach, canned vegetables (crude fiber), as well as onions and garlic, especially raw (irritates gastric glands in the mucous membrane);
• Sweets: sour fruits and berries, unripe fruits, chocolate, dried fruits (crude fiber, increases acidity);
• Spices: mustard, pepper, horseradish (stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid);
• Carbonated drinks, kvass, and coffee (stimulate the release of hydrochloric acid, increase gas formation, and cause heartburn);
• Fried and boiled eggs, animal fats (except butter).

low acidity gastritis

The goal of a low-acidity gastritis diet is to stimulate (moderate) gastric juice production.Food should begin after the secretion of hydrochloric acid has begun, the first stage (advertising or programs about food, beautiful photos of food, "yummy" talk, etc. will cause the release of gastric juices).

Food taboos for low-acid gastritis:

• fresh bread, hearty pastries (foods that are "heavy" for the stomach, making chemical and mechanical processing difficult);
• Limit consumption of pearl barley, beans, and millets;
• Fatty meat, meat with fascia (film), canned food, bacon (insufficient mechanical food processing, excessive release of hydrochloric acid);
• fatty and salty fish;
• Crude fiber vegetables and fruits (cabbage, turnips, radishes, cucumbers, green peppers), mushrooms;
• Berries with granular or thick skin (raspberries, strawberries, currants, gooseberries, figs);
• Spicy and salty cheeses, milk - neutralizes hydrochloric acid;
• Lard and fat from pork, beef, and mutton (which are difficult to digest because they produce less hydrochloric acid and are difficult to digest);
• Spices and spices (irritate the gastric mucosa), as well as chocolate, grape juice, alcohol;

Authorized products

As acidity increases

Products and dishes permitted and recommended for the treatment of gastritis with increased stomach acid should neutralize high levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and promote gastric digestion (mashed dishes, liquid porridge, boiled meat, fish and poultry).

Products permitted for the treatment of hyperacidic gastritis:

• "Yesterday's" or dry bread, crackers, dry biscuits (biscuits);
• Pureed vegetables (carrots, potatoes, beets, cauliflower), peeled tomatoes;
• Fruits without crude fiber (bananas, baked apples, ripe pears, sweet berries and their use in preparing juice drinks, preserves, jellies, jellies);
• Desserts: Cream, marshmallows, marshmallows, honey (drinking honey water 1.5-2 hours before meals can reduce gastric acidity and has healing and immune-stimulating effects);
• Butter (natural butter and ghee), vegetable oil (contains vitamin E, which neutralizes hydrochloric acid);
• Lean meat and poultry varieties (veal, beef without tendon and fascia, "white" chicken);
• Milk, cream, low-fat cheese (antacids - anti-heartburn effect, coats the gastric mucosa, neutralizes gastric juices);
• River fish (containing high amounts of unsaturated fat, which normalizes the function of the digestive tract), in the form of slices or steamed or boiled;
• seafood;
• Small amounts of parsley and dill, vanillin and cinnamon can stimulate appetite;
• Soft-boiled eggs or steamed omelets (preferably white eggs);
• Cabbage, potato, carrot juice (or mixture) - antacid effect, high vitamin U content - anti-ulcer factor;
• Rosehip decoction (lots of vitamin C, therapeutic and stimulates appetite), light tea or coffee with milk, cocoa, mineral water (removes toxins).

Has low acidity

It is recommended that consumption of products with low acidity gastritis stimulate the production of hydrochloric acid.Eating should coincide with the beginning of the release of gastric juices.

Products permitted for the treatment of hypoacidic gastritis:

• dry bread, biscuits, baked goods;
• Water or diluted milk porridge, cooking liquid, as well as steamed meatballs and cutlets, puddings, soufflés;
• Veal, beef, skinless chicken;
• Low-fat meat and fish soups, with the addition of cereals, pasta (if well tolerated), borscht, cabbage soup, beetroot soup and chopped vegetables;
• Potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, white (chopped) cabbage, cauliflower (boiled, steamed or pureed, pudding);
• Drink potato, cabbage, carrot juice before meals (stimulates the release of hydrochloric acid);
• Drink honey water before meals (stimulates the formation of gastric acid), watermelon, peeled grapes, baked apples, candied fruits and mousse from very ripe and sweet fruits and berries;
• Lemon tea, weak coffee, cocoa with thin milk, rose hip soup;
• vegetable oil, butter;
• Cultured dairy products, small slices of grated mild cheese;
• Soft-boiled egg or egg white omelet.

Need to follow a diet

No medication can completely cure acute gastritis or stabilize remission in the presence of chronic gastritis.

All advertised medicines are available to everyone and are sold in pharmacies without a prescription.But they only eliminate (temporarily) unpleasant symptoms (heartburn, pain, burping).

Following a gastritis diet can not only make the patient's life easier, but can also keep the patient in check.

The treatment table for gastritis is complete and healthy food, normalization of lifestyle, rejection of bad habits and poor-quality products.In addition, a gastritis diet helps normalize weight (those who have lost weight will gain weight, and those who are overweight will lose weight), since timely and nutritious nutrition normalizes not only the functions of the gastrointestinal tract, but also all metabolic processes, thereby strengthening the immune system.

Consequences of not following the diet

If you refuse to follow any type of gastritis diet, the patient may face the following problems:

• Vitamin deficiency;
• Diseases of the liver, pancreas, duodenum, large intestine and small intestine (due to impaired gastric function);
• Significant weight loss (fear of eating);
• Peptic ulcer disease and its consequences: perforation of ulcers, penetration of ulcers - sprouting into organs, bleeding;
• Development of atrophic gastritis and its transformation into gastric cancer.
