Diet for gastritis

diet rules for gastritis of the stomach

Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining.There are hypo- and hyperacidic 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 rules of nutrition

The main goal of a gastritis diet is to follow 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.

Dietary rules for gastritis

Power supply mode

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 cause "excessive" secretion of gastric fluid and reduce its production during breakfast/lunch/evening, which disrupts the processes of food processing and assimilation).

Reading while eating, watching TV and "eating on the run" should be strictly excluded.

Knowing the measure

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

Firstly, the feeling of fullness appears 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 thorough mechanical processing of food, which eases an aching stomach.In addition, hunger in this case is satisfied faster (which prevents overeating).

Refusal of complex dishes

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

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

forbidden 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:

  • engineer– avoid eating foods with coarse vegetable fibers (bread made from bran, turnips, radishes, "old" meat).
  • chemical– prohibition 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 very cold or, on the contrary, hot food (optimal temperature 50 degrees).

Prohibited foods for hyperacid gastritis:

  • fresh, especially warm bread, butter pastries and puff pastry.
  • cereals: pearl barley, legumes, millet, barley, corn (coarse fiber).
  • rich meat and fish broths, okroshka, borscht, mushroom soups (they contain many extractive substances that stimulate the production of gastric juice).
  • fatty and stringy varieties of any meat: duck, chicken, pork, smoked meats (they are difficult to digest in the stomach and increase the formation of hydrochloric acid).
  • fatty and salty fish (cause the formation of gastric juice).
  • fermented milk products (all sharp cheeses, limited to sour cream);
  • vegetables: rutabaga, radish, radish, sorrel, spinach, canned vegetables (coarse fiber), as well as onions and garlic, especially raw (stimulate the gastric glands in the mucous membrane).
  • 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 (in moderation) the production of gastric juice.Food should be taken after the start of hydrochloric acid secretion, that is, in the first phase (advertisements or programs about food, beautiful pictures of food, "tasty" conversations can cause 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, legumes, millet.
  • fatty meat, meat with fascia (membranes), canned goods, smoked meats (insufficient mechanical processing of food, excessive release of hydrochloric acid).
  • oily and salty fish;
  • vegetables and fruits with coarse fibers (white cabbage, turnips, radishes, cucumbers, peppers), mushrooms.
  • berries with seeds or thick skin (blueberries, strawberries, red currants, gooseberries, figs).
  • sharp and salty cheeses, milk – neutralizes hydrochloric acid.
  • pork, beef, pork lard and fat (non-digestible due to low production of hydrochloric acid, difficult to digest foods).
  • spices and spices (they irritate the gastric mucosa), 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 must neutralize the high content of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and facilitate digestion in the stomach (pures, liquid porridges, boiled meat, fish and poultry).

Allowed products for hyperacid gastritis:

  • "yesterday's" or dried bread, crackers, dry cookies (biscuits).
  • mashed 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 preparing fruit drinks, compotes, jellies, jellies from them).
  • sweet products: cream, marshmallows, marshmallows, honey (drinking water with honey 1.5-2 hours before meals reduces acidity in the stomach, has a therapeutic and immunostimulating effect).
  • butter (natural and ghee), vegetable oils (contain vitamin E, which neutralizes hydrochloric acid).
  • lean varieties of meat and poultry (veal, veal without tendons and fascia, "white" chicken meat);
  • milk, sour cream, low-fat cottage cheese (antiacid - anti-heartburn action, coats 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 dill, 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 action, high in vitamin U – anti-ulcer agent.
  • rosehip decoction (a lot of vitamin C, which has a healing effect and stimulates the appetite), weak tea or coffee with milk, cocoa, mineral water (removal of toxins).

With low acidity

Products 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.

Allowed products for hypoacid gastritis:

  • Dried bread, crackers, pastries.
  • porridge with water or diluted milk, well-cooked, moist, also steamed meatballs and cutlets, puddings, souffles.
  • beef, veal, skinless chicken.
  • low-fat meat and fish broths, you can add cereals, pasta, if they are well tolerated, borscht, cabbage soup, beetroot soup with chopped vegetables.
  • potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, white (shredded) cabbage, cauliflower (boiled, steamed or in the form of puree, pudding);
  • juices from potatoes, cabbage, carrots immediately before meals (stimulate the release of hydrochloric acid).
  • water with honey before meals (stimulates acid formation), watermelons, peeled grapes, baked apples, compotes and mousses from very ripe and sweet fruits and berries.
  • tea with lemon, weak coffee, cocoa with diluted milk, rose decoction.
  • vegetable oils, butter;
  • fermented dairy products, grated and soft cheese in small slices.
  • soft-boiled eggs or scrambled egg whites.

The need to follow a diet

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

All advertised drugs, available to everyone, are sold without a prescription in pharmacies.But they only eliminate (temporary) unpleasant symptoms (heartburn, pain, belching).

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

The treatment table for gastritis is full 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 overweight people will lose weight), since timely and nutritious food not only normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, but also all metabolic processes and, accordingly, 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, large and small intestine (as a result of the disturbance of the functioning of the stomach);
  • significant weight loss (fear of eating).
  • peptic ulcer and its consequences: perforation of the ulcer, penetration of the ulcer - vegetation in the organ, bleeding.
  • the formation of atrophic gastritis and its transformation into stomach cancer.
