Diet for gastritis

Nutrition rules for gastric gastritis

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

As you know, the stomach produces hydrochloric acid, the content of which determines the type of gastritis.Diet plays a major role in the treatment of gastritis.

Basic rules of the diet

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

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

  • 90-100 gr.proteins (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, you need to follow a meal schedule (at the same time).Secondly, with gastritis, meals should be partial, 4-5 times a day, but at the same time it is necessary to avoid light meals (they provoke the secretion of "excess" gastric juice and reduce its production during breakfast/lunch/dinner, which disrupts the processes of food processing and assimilation).

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

Knowing the measure

With gastritis, the saying "after eating there should be a feeling of slight hunger" is more important 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 a more complete mechanical processing of food, which makes it easier for stomach pain.In addition, hunger in this case is satisfied faster (which prevents overeating).

Rejection of complex dishes

The menu for gastritis should consist of simple but varied dishes.A large number of ingredients in the dish makes it difficult for them to be digested by the stomach.

Rest after eating

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

Prohibited foods for gastritis

With increased acidity

Prohibited foods for gastritis

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 consist of 3 points:

  • Engineering– avoid eating foods with thick fibers (bread with bran, turnip, radish, "old" meat);
  • CHEMICAL- prohibition of foods that increase the production of gastric juice (alcohol, coffee, white cabbage, citrus fruits, sour fruits and berries, strong juices);
  • thermal- do not eat very cold or, on the contrary, hot food (optimal temperature 50 degrees).

Prohibited foods for hyperacid gastritis:

  • fresh bread, especially warm, pastries made with butter and dough;
  • cereals: pearl barley, legumes, millet, barley, corn (coarse fiber);
  • rich meat and fish juices, okroshka soup, borscht, mushrooms (they contain 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 (they provoke the formation of gastric juice);
  • fermented milk products (all types of sharp cheeses, limited to sour cream);
  • vegetables: rutabaga, radish, radish, sorrel, spinach, canned vegetables (thick fiber), as well as onions and garlic, especially raw (stimulate gastric glands in the mucosa);
  • sweets: sour fruits and berries, unripe fruits, chocolate, dried fruits (coarse fiber, increased acidity);
  • spices: mustard, 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 boiled eggs, animal fats (except butter).

Gastritis with low acidity

The goal of a low-acid gastritis diet is to stimulate (moderately) the production of gastric juice.Food should be taken after the secretion of hydrochloric acid begins, that is, in the first phase (advertisements or programs about food, beautiful pictures of food, "tasty" conversations can provoke the release of gastric juice).

Prohibited foods for hypoacid gastritis:

  • fresh bread, rich pastries ("heavy" food for the stomach, makes chemical and mechanical processing difficult);
  • restriction of pearl barley, legumes, millet;
  • fatty meat, meat with fascia (films), canned food, smoked meat (inadequate mechanical processing of food, excessive release of hydrochloric acid);
  • fatty and salty fish;
  • vegetables and fruits with thick fibers (white cabbage, turnips, radishes, cucumbers, bell peppers), mushrooms;
  • berries with seeds or thick skin (raspberries, strawberries, red currants, eggplants, figs);
  • Sharp and salty cheeses, milk – neutralizes hydrochloric acid;
  • pork, beef, lamb lard and fat (non-digestible due to low production of hydrochloric acid, hard-to-digest foods);
  • spices and spices (irritating the stomach lining), as well as chocolate, grape juice, alcohol;

Authorized Products

With increased acidity

Allowed foods for gastritis

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 (purée, liquid porridge, boiled meat, fish and poultry).

Allowed products for hyperacid gastritis:

  • "Yesterday's" or dried bread, crackers, dry cookies (biscuits);
  • mashed vegetables (carrots, potatoes, beets, cauliflower), peeled tomatoes;
  • fruits that do not contain coarse fiber (bananas, ripe apples, ripe pears, sweet berries, as well as the preparation of fruit drinks, compote, jelly, jelly from them);
  • sweet products: milk cream, marshmallows, marshmallows, honey (drinking water with honey 1.5-2 hours before meals reduces acidity in the stomach, has a healing and immunostimulating effect);
  • butter (natural and ghee), vegetable oils (contain vitamin E, which neutralizes hydrochloric acid);
  • lean varieties of meat and poultry (beef, veal without tendons and fascia, "white" chicken);
  • 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 tract) in the form of cutlets or steamed, boiled;
  • seafood;
  • parsley and fennel, vanillin and cinnamon in small quantities to stimulate the appetite;
  • soft-boiled eggs or steamed omelette (preferably white);
  • cabbage, potato, carrot juices (or a mixture) - antacid effect, high content of vitamin U - anti-ulcer factor;
  • rose decoction (a lot of vitamin C, which has a healing effect and stimulates the appetite), tea or weak coffee with milk, cocoa, mineral water without gas (removal of toxins).

With low acidity

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

Allowed products for hypoacid gastritis:

  • dry bread, crackers, bakery products;
  • porridge with water or diluted milk, well-boiled, runny, also steamed meatballs and cutlets, puddings, soufflés;
  • beef, veal, 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, squash, white cabbage (finely chopped), cauliflower (boiled, steamed or mashed, pudding);
  • juices from potatoes, cabbage, carrots immediately before eating (stimulate the release of hydrochloric acid);
  • water with honey before meals (stimulates the formation of acid), watermelons, peeled grapes, ripe apples, compote and foam from very ripe and sweet fruits and berries;
  • tea with lemon, weak coffee, cocoa with diluted milk, rose decoction;
  • vegetable oils, butter;
  • fermented milk products, grated and soft cheese in small slices;
  • soft boiled eggs or egg white omelette.

The need to follow a diet

No medication can completely cure acute gastritis or lead to lasting remission in the presence of chronic gastritis.

All advertised drugs, available to everyone, are sold without a prescription in pharmacies.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 disciplines the person.

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

Consequences of not following the diet

the consequences of not following the diet for gastritis

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

  • lack of vitamins;
  • diseases of the liver, pancreas, duodenum, large and small intestines (as a result of impaired stomach function);
  • significant loss of body weight (fear of eating);
  • peptic ulcer disease and its consequences: perforation of the ulcer, penetration of the ulcer - germination in the organ, bleeding;
  • the formation of atrophic gastritis and its transformation into stomach cancer.
