Diet for gastritis

Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining.There are hypo- and hyperacid gastritis (ie with high or low acidity).

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

basic diet rules

The main goal of a diet for gastritis is to follow a diet that ensures normal digestion.

The treatment table for gastritis should include (per day):

• 90-100 gr.Protein (60% animal),
• 90-100 gr.Fat (75% animal)
• 400-420 gr.Carbohydrates.

The total energy value should be 2800-3000 kcal.

Nutrition rules for gastritis

power mode

First of all, you must follow a meal schedule (at the same time).Secondly, with gastritis, food should be fractional, 4-5 times a day, but at the same time it is necessary to avoid snacks (they provoke "excess" secretion of gastric juice and reduce its production during breakfast / lunch / dinner, which disrupts the processes of processing and assimilation of food).

Reading while eating, watching TV, and "eating while running" should be strictly excluded.

knowing the solution

With gastritis, the saying “after eating one should feel a slight hunger” is more relevant than ever.

Firstly, the feeling of satiety occurs only 10-15 minutes after eating, and secondly, a full stomach does not cope well with its functions, especially with gastritis.

chewing food

Chewing food for a long time (at least 25-30 seconds for each piece) promotes more intensive mechanical processing of food, which makes it easier for stomach aches.In addition, hunger is satisfied faster in this case (which prevents overeating).

Refusal from complex recipes

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

rest after eating

After each meal, you need to rest (not necessarily sleep) for 15-20 minutes.You can read a book or listen to music.

Prohibited foods for gastritis

with increased acidity

For gastritis with increased production of hydrochloric acid, the diet should be aimed at reducing the formation of gastric juice.Therefore, the principles of the treatment table include 3 points:

• mechanical- Avoid eating coarse fiber foods (bran bread, turnips, radishes, "old" meat);
• chemicals- restriction of foods that increase the production of gastric juice (alcohol, coffee, white cabbage, citrus fruits, sour fruits and berries, strong broths);
• thermal- Do not eat too cold or, conversely, hot food (optimal temperature 50 degrees).

Prohibited foods for hyperacid gastritis:

• pastries made from fresh, especially warm bread, butter and puff pastry;
• Cereals: pearl barley, legumes, millet, barley, corn (coarse fiber);
• rich meat and fish broths, okroshka, borscht, mushroom soups (contains many extractive substances that stimulate the production of gastric juice);
• Fatty and fibrous varieties of any meat: duck, chicken, pork, smoked meat (they are difficult to digest in the stomach and increase the formation of hydrochloric acid);
• Fatty and salty fish (stimulates the formation of gastric juice);
• Fermented milk products (all types of spicy cheeses, limited to sour cream);
• Vegetables: rutabagas, radishes, radishes, sorrel, spinach, canned vegetables (coarse fiber), as well as onions and garlic, especially raw (stimulate the gastric glands in the mucous membrane);
• Sweets: citrus fruits and berries, raw fruits, chocolate, dried fruits (coarse fiber, increased acidity);
• Spices: mustard, black pepper, horseradish (stimulate the production of hydrochloric acid);
• Carbonated drinks, kvass, coffee (stimulate the release of hydrochloric acid, increase gas formation, cause heartburn);
• Fried and hard-boiled eggs, animal fats (except butter).

low acidity gastritis

The goal of the diet for low acidity gastritis is to stimulate (in moderation) the production of gastric juice.Food should be consumed after the secretion of hydrochloric acid begins, that is, in the first phase (advertisements or programs about food, beautiful photographs of food, "tasty" conversations can provoke the secretion of gastric juice).

Prohibited foods for hypoacid gastritis:

• Fresh bread, heavy pastries ("heavy" food for the stomach, making chemical and mechanical processing difficult);
• ban on pearl barley, legumes, millet;
• Fatty meat, meat with fascia (films), canned food, smoked meat (insufficient mechanical processing of food, excess release of hydrochloric acid);
• fatty and salty fish;
• Coarse fiber vegetables and fruits (white cabbage, turnips, radishes, cucumbers, capsicum), mushrooms;
• berries with berries or thick skin (raspberries, strawberries, red currants, gooseberries, figs);
• Spicy and salty cheeses, milk – neutralizes hydrochloric acid;
• pork, beef, sheep lard and fat (non-digestible, difficult-to-digest foods due to low production of hydrochloric acid);
• spices and spices (irritate the gastric mucosa), as well as chocolate, grape juice, alcohol;

authorized product

with increased acidity

Products and dishes that are allowed and recommended for gastritis with increased acid formation should neutralize the high content of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and facilitate digestion in the stomach (mashed dishes, liquid porridge, boiled meat, fish and poultry).

Permitted products for hyperacid gastritis:

• "yesterday's" or dried bread, crackers, dried biscuits (biscuits);
• Pure vegetable puree (carrot, potato, beetroot, cauliflower), peeled tomato;
• Fruits that do not contain coarse fiber (bananas, ripe apples, ripe pears, sweet berries, as well as preparing fruit drinks, compotes, jellies, jellies from them);
• Sweet products: milk cream, marshmallows, marshmallows, honey (drinking honey water 1.5-2 hours before meals reduces acidity in the stomach, has a healing and immunostimulating effect);
• Butter (natural and ghee), vegetable oil (contains vitamin E, which neutralizes hydrochloric acid);
• Low-fat varieties of meat and poultry (veal, beef without tendons and fascia, "white" chicken meat);
• Milk, cream, low-fat cottage cheese (antacid - anti-heartburn effect, covers the gastric mucosa, neutralizes gastric juice);
• River fish (contains a large amount of unsaturated fats, which normalize the functioning of the digestive system) in the form of cutlets or boiled, steamed;
• sea food;
• Parsley and dill, vanillin and cinnamon in small quantities to increase appetite;
• Soft-boiled eggs or steamed omelette (preferably white);
• Juice (or mixture) of cabbage, potatoes, carrots - antacid effect, high content of vitamin U - anti-ulcer factor;
• Rosehip decoction (a lot of vitamin C, which has a healing effect and stimulates appetite), weak tea or coffee with milk, cocoa, still mineral water (removes toxins).

with low acidity

The products that are recommended to be consumed for gastritis with low acidity should stimulate the production of hydrochloric acid.Eating should coincide with the beginning of the release of gastric juice.

Permitted products for hypoacid gastritis:

• Dry bread, crackers, baked goods;
• Porridge with water or diluted milk, well-cooked, also liquid, steamed meatballs and cutlets, puddings, soufflés;
• Veal, beef, skinless chicken;
• low-fat meat and fish broths, you can add cereals, pasta, if well tolerated, borscht, cabbage soup, beetroot soup with finely chopped vegetables;
• Potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, white (finely chopped) cabbage, cauliflower (boiled, steamed or pureed, in the form of pudding);
• Potato, cabbage, carrot juice immediately before meals (stimulates the release of hydrochloric acid);
• honey water before meals (stimulates acid formation), compotes and mousses from watermelon, peeled grapes, ripe apples, very ripe and sweet fruits and berries;
• Tea with lemon, weak coffee, cocoa with diluted milk, rosehip decoction;
• Vegetable oil, butter;
• Fermented milk products, grated into small pieces and mild cheese;
• Soft boiled eggs or egg white omelette.

need to follow diet

No drug can completely cure acute gastritis or cause stable remission in the presence of chronic gastritis.

All advertised medicines, which are available to everyone, are sold in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription.But they only (temporarily) eliminate unpleasant symptoms (heartburn, pain, belching).

Following a diet for gastritis not only makes life easier for the patient, but also makes the person disciplined.

The treatment table for gastritis is complete and healthy eating, normalization of lifestyle, rejection of bad habits and low-quality products.In addition, the diet for gastritis helps to normalize weight (those who have lost weight will gain weight, and overweight people will lose weight), because timely and nutritious nutrition normalizes not only the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, but also all metabolic processes, and, as a result, strengthens the immune system.

Consequences of not following the diet

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

• vitamin deficiency;
• Diseases of the liver, pancreas, duodenum, large and small intestines (as a result of impaired functioning of the stomach);
• significant loss of body weight (fear of eating);
• Peptic ulcer disease and its consequences: perforation of the ulcer, penetration of the ulcer - germination into the organ, bleeding;
• Formation of atrophic gastritis and its transformation into stomach cancer.
