Diet for gastritis

rules of nutrition for gastritis in the stomach

Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining.There is hypo- and hyperacid gastritis (that is, 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 dietary rules

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 include:

  • 90-100 gr. proteins (60% animal),
  • 90-100 g fat (75% animal)
  • 400-420 grams of carbohydrates.

The total energy value must be 2800-3000 kcal.

Nutritional rules for gastritis

Power state

First, you should follow a meal plan (at the same time).Secondly, with gastritis, meals 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 goal

With gastritis, the saying "after eating there should be a feeling of slight hunger" is more relevant than ever.

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

Chew food

Prolonged chewing of food (at least 25-30 seconds for each piece) promotes a more thorough mechanical processing of food, which makes it easier for stomach ache.In addition, in this case hunger is satisfied more quickly (which prevents overeating).

Rejection of complex dishes

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

Rest after eating

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

Prohibited foods for gastritis

With increased acidity

forbidden foods for gastritis

For gastritis with increased production of hydrochloric acid, the diet should aim to reduce the formation of gastric juice.Therefore, the principles for the treatment table consist of 3 points:

  • mechanical– avoid eating foods with coarse fibers (bran bread, turnips, radishes, "old" meat);
  • chemical– a ban on 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, on the contrary, hot food (optimal temperature 50 degrees).

Prohibited foods for hyperacid gastritis:

  • fresh, especially warm bread, cakes made from butter and puff pastry;
  • grains: pearl barley, legumes, millet, barley, corn (coarse fiber);
  • rich meat and fish broths, okroshka, borscht, mushroom soups (contain many extractive substances that stimulate the production of gastric juice);
  • fatty and stringy 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 (causes 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 (coarse fiber), as well as onion and garlic, especially raw (stimulates the gastric glands in the mucous membrane);
  • sweets: sour fruits and berries, unripe fruits, chocolate, dried fruits (coarse fibers, increased acidity);
  • spices: mustard, pepper, horseradish (stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid);
  • carbonated drinks, kvass, coffee (stimulates the release of hydrochloric acid, increases gas formation, causes heartburn);
  • fried and hard-boiled eggs, animal fat (except butter).

Gastritis with low acidity

The goal of a diet for gastritis with low acidity is to stimulate (in moderation) 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 photographs of food, "delicious" conversations can provoke the release of gastric juice).

Prohibited foods for hypoacid gastritis:

  • fresh bread, rich cakes ("heavy" food for the stomach, makes chemical and mechanical processing difficult);
  • restriction of pearl barley, legumes, millet;
  • fatty meat, meat with fascia (film), canned food, smoked meat (insufficient mechanical processing of food, excess release of hydrochloric acid);
  • fatty and salty fish;
  • vegetables and fruits with coarse fibers (cabbage, turnips, radishes, cucumbers, peppers), mushrooms;
  • berries with grain or thick skin (raspberries, strawberries, currants, gooseberries, figs);
  • sharp and salty cheeses, milk - neutralizes hydrochloric acid;
  • pork, beef, lamb pork and fat (not digestible due to low production of hydrochloric acid, difficult to digest foods);
  • spices and seasonings (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 permitted and recommended for gastritis with increased acid formation must neutralize the high content of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and facilitate digestion in the stomach (mash dishes, liquid porridge, cooked meat, fish and poultry).

Allowed products for hyperacid gastritis:

  • "yesterday's" or dried bread, biscuits, dry biscuits (biscuits);
  • pureed vegetable puree (carrots, potatoes, beets, cauliflower), peeled tomatoes;
  • fruits that do not contain coarse fiber (bananas, baked apples, ripe pears, sweet berries, as well as the preparation of 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 oils (contains vitamin E, which neutralizes hydrochloric acid);
  • lean 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 function of the digestive tract) in the form of cutlets or steamed, boiled;
  • seafood;
  • parsley and dill, vanillin and cinnamon in small quantities to stimulate the appetite;
  • soft-boiled eggs or steamed omelette (preferably white);
  • cabbage, potato, carrot juice (or a mixture) – antacid effect, high content of vitamin U – anti-ulcer factor;
  • rosehip decoction (a lot of vitamin C, which has a healing effect and stimulates the appetite), weak tea or coffee with milk, cocoa, stagnant mineral water (removal of toxins).

With low acidity

Products recommended for consumption in gastritis with low acidity should stimulate the production of hydrochloric acid.Eating should coincide with the beginning of the release of gastric juice.

Allowed products for hypoacid gastritis:

  • dried bread, biscuits, pastries;
  • porridge with water or diluted milk, well-boiled, liquid, also steamed meatballs and cutlets, puddings, souffles;
  • veal, beef, chicken without skin;
  • low-fat meat and fish broth, you can add cereals, pasta, if tolerated well, borscht, cabbage soup, beetroot soup with finely chopped vegetables;
  • potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, white cabbage (chopped) cabbage, cauliflower (boiled, steamed or in the form of puree, pudding);
  • juice from potatoes, cabbage, carrots immediately before meals (stimulates the release of hydrochloric acid);
  • honey water before meals (stimulates acid formation), watermelons, peeled grapes, baked apples, compotes and mousse from very ripe and sweet fruits and berries;
  • tea with lemon, weak coffee, cocoa with diluted milk, rose hip decoction;
  • vegetable oils, butter;
  • fermented milk products, grated and mild cheese in small slices;
  • soft-boiled eggs or egg white flour.

The need to follow a diet

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

All advertised medicines, 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 nutrition not only normalizes the function of the gastrointestinal tract, but also all metabolic processes, and as a result, strengthens the immune system.

Consequences of not following the diet

consequences of non-compliance with the diet for gastritis

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, colon and small intestine (as a result of reduced stomach function);
  • significant loss of body weight (anxiety about eating);
  • peptic ulcer disease and its consequences: perforation of the wound, penetration of the wound - germination in the organ, bleeding;
  • the formation of atrophic gastritis and its transformation into gastric cancer.
