Diet for gastritis: recipes and sample menu for the week

A diet for gastritis accelerates the restoration of the stomach lining. With its help, the effectiveness of treatment is also increased, relapses of inflammatory processes in the organ and complications of the disease are avoided. What diet is needed for gastritis of the stomach?

Since the pathology can be acute, chronic, in several stages, and patients have different acidity levels, therapeutic nutrition also differs.

Basic rules for food consumption

For gastritis, the diet can be strict, gentle and preventive (every day in remission). The type of diet is chosen depending on the established form and stage of the disease, as well as associated pathologies (diabetes, heart attack, obesity, etc. ). Tables for the treatment of gastritis and other diseases were developed in 1929. Today, in connection with new research results, the food system has been slightly supplemented and some products have been excluded because their production does notdoes not comply with GOST standards.

What therapeutic nutrition is used for gastritis:

1. Table n°1. Prescribed for gastritis with normal and high acidity in the attenuation phase, and with acute gastritis - during the recovery phase. Also used for stomach and duodenal ulcers.
2. Table n°1-a. Used for acute gastritis or strong exacerbation of chronic gastritis. Also used for esophageal ulcers and burns.
3. Table n°1-b. Prescribed for gastritis and ulcers during the period of attenuation of the process.
4. Table n°2. Used for chronic and acute forms of gastritis with low acidity after elimination of the exacerbation. It is also used for intestinal pathologies.
5. Table n°5. Prescribed in the recovery phase for acute gastritis accompanied by cholecystitis. This diet is also used in cases of liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.
6. Optimal food option (ATS). A balanced diet for people suffering from gastritis is created on the basis of tablesNo. 1─1-вand is used in daily life to prevent relapses.

If there are concomitant pathologies, it is recommended to select foods for the diet with the help of a doctor. He will prepare the foodon the tables, which are based on a diet for gastritis, but with adjustments for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, other internal organs, metabolic disorders and disorders of the hormonal system.

Rules for eating foods for gastritis

Proper nutrition for gastritis of the stomach consists of adhering to such principles as food processing technology, mode, frequency, product selection and calorie content, food temperature control, durationof use. They must be monitored not only during treatment, but also at home to avoid re-inflammation of the stomach lining.

Food processing technology

For any type of disease like gastritis, the diet should includeboiled,passive,steam,cooked in foilOrhandle of the dish. During exacerbations of gastritis, food (any food) should be pureed. It is prohibited to fry foods until crispy.

If you suffer from gastritis, you should not use breadcrumbs or flour before frying. During the cooking process, they form a rough crust on food, which, if it enters the gastrointestinal tract, is poorly digested and can increase inflammation and pain.

Mode and frequency

How to eat with gastritis of the stomach? In case of pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract and other digestive organs, fractional meals should be prescribed so as not to overload the stomach with a large amount of food. Therefore, the entire daily ration is divided into5─6 times: 2 breakfasts (morning, lunch), lunch, dinner, snacks (afternoon snack, before bed).

The diet for gastritis involves consuming high-quality and properly prepared foods at a certain time of the day. A person should eat small portions on a set schedule. This allows the stomach to work smoothly and the body to receive all the necessary substances in a timely manner.

Food temperature control

For the proper functioning of the stomach, the optimal temperature of food is36─37°C,and acceptable – of15°C to 60°C.Cold food is less well eliminated from the organ, additionally loading the antrum and causing a feeling of heaviness, and too hot food burns the inflamed mucosa, so injuries may appear there.

How long does a diet for gastritis last? It directly depends on the type of pathology, the degree of damage to the membrane and the speed of recovery. Therefore, the duration of the diet is determined by the doctor. Usually a strict diet lasts 5-7 days, a gentle diet lasts up to 21 days. The use of therapeutic nutrition for prevention purposes can last up to 2-4 months. If the patient is diagnosed with atrophic type stomach disease, it is likely that he will have to follow this diet for life.

Diet therapy for high acidity and gastritis

Diet foods for gastritis and heartburn are selected based on products that do not cause an increase in secretory secretions, but help relieve inflammation and heal the mucous membrane.

If you have high acidity, it is advisable to drink freshly squeezed potato juice every month for 7 days. It is taken 125 ml on an empty stomach before the first breakfast, then consumed 60 minutes later.

What to eat for gastritis of the stomach with acidity above normal:

• boiled dietary meat (chicken, rabbit, beef);
• steamed lean fish fillet;
• vegetable purees with added butter (ghee, butter);
• steamed protein omelettes, poached eggs;
• milk, fermented cooked milk, cream;
• baked sweet fruits;

Nutrition for gastric insufficiency and gastritis

A diet for gastritis of the stomach with below-normal acidity should include bitters that stimulate the formation of juice and provoke appetite. But during relapses, you should not eat a lot of vegetables and fruits rich in fiber.

• it is allowed to consume more meat and fish dishes, broths;
• you can eat soaked herring, fried or baked cutlets, vegetables;
• Finely chopped greens and lightly salted cucumbers are added to the food;
• drink vegetable and multifruit juices, herbal teas for the stomach;
• diluted boiled milk (drink whole milk only if it is well tolerated).

Gastric secretion improves if food intake begins with salads. During an exacerbation, it is advisable to drink warmed white cabbage juice. Drink 125 ml three times a day 60 minutes before eating.

Diet for acute development of gastritis

The list of foods consumed for gastritis of the stomach during the period of intensive course of the disease comes down to boiled liquid puree and low-calorie foods. As the tissues heal, grated heat-treated vegetables, minced meat and oatmeal are gradually added to the menu. When possible, the attending physician will tell you. During exacerbations of chronic inflammation of the mucosa, the principle of nutrition is the same.

A strict diet for gastritis with acute symptoms occurs in stages:

1. Initially, a complete daily fast is indicated. You can drink warm boiled water (1 tablespoon every 5-15 minutes until your thirst is quenched).
2. After 24 hours, the strict diet of patients suffering from gastritis is supplemented with oatmeal soup (mucous), herbal teas (gastric infusions), rosehip decoction and non-concentrated chicken broth.
3. On the third day, milk semolina and/or grated rice porridge, jelly, sweet compote and skimmed milk are added to the menu.
4. After eliminating the pain syndrome and other acute symptoms of pathology, white crackers, steamed fish, omelets and meatballs are added to the diet for gastritis.

As the inflammation subsides, grated foods are included in the menu, then the patient is transferred to a gentle diet. Usually, table #1-b is assigned first, then #1.

Nutrition in the alleviation phase of gastritis

A gentle diet for gastritis is prescribed in case of a benign course of pathology, as well as after the elimination of acute symptoms. The menu should consist only of well-prepared and easily digestible dishes, but there must be a complete diet.

How to eat well with gastritis every day on a gentle diet:

• energy value of food – 2200-2900 kcal;
• salt – 6 g;
• animal and vegetable fats – from 75 to 100 g;
• protein – 85-100 g;
• carbohydrates – 250-400 g;
• free liquid - 1-1. 5 l.

You cannot break your diet or give up soups. A gentle diet for gastritis of the stomach does not contain products that mechanically load the organ or irritate the mucous membranes (raw food, uncut meat, raw berries, etc. ).
