Diet for gastritis

nutritional guidelines for gastritis

Gastritis is inflammation of the lining of the stomach.There are gastritis and hyperacid gastritis (it has 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 principles of diet

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

Treatment chart for gastritis (per day) should include:

  • 90-100 gr.protein (60% animal),
  • 90-100 gr.fat (75% animal)
  • 400-420 gr.carbohydrates.

Total energy value should be 2800-3000 kcal.

Nutritional rules for gastritis

Power mode

First, you should follow a meal plan (at the same time).Secondly, with gastritis, meals should be in fractions, 4-5 times a day, but at the same time it is necessary to avoid snacks (they provoke "excessive" secretion of gastric juice and reduce its production during breakfast/lunch/dinner, which interferes with the processing and assimilation of food).

Reading while eating, watching TV and "eating on the run" should be completely avoided.

Knowing the measurement

With gastritis, the saying "after eating you should feel a little hungry" is more relevant than ever.

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

Chew food

Chewing food for a long time (at least 25-30 seconds for each piece) promotes a thorough mechanical processing of food, which eases stomach pain.In addition, hunger in this case is satisfied faster (which prevents overeating).

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

Forbidden 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 production of gastric juice.Therefore, the principles of the treatment chart consist of three points:

  • mechanics- avoid eating food with coarse fiber (bran bread, beets, radishes, "old" meat);
  • chemical- prohibition of foods that increase the production of gastric juices (alcohol, coffee, cabbage, citrus fruits, sour fruits and berries, strong broths);
  • thermal flow- do not eat too cold or, on the contrary, hot food (ideal temperature 50 degrees).

Prohibited foods for hyperacid gastritis:

  • fresh, especially warm bread, cakes made of butter and puff pastry;
  • grains: pearl barley, legumes, millet, barley, corn (coarse fiber);
  • rich meat and fish broths, okroshka, borscht, mushroom soups (contain many extracts 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 (stimulates the production 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 onions and garlic, especially raw (stimulate gastric mucosal glands);
  • 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 hard-boiled eggs, animal fat (except butter).

Gastritis with low acidity

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

Prohibited foods for gastritis low:

  • 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 salted fish;
  • vegetables and fruits with coarse fiber (cabbage, beets, radishes, cucumbers, peppers), mushrooms;
  • berries with grain or thick skin (raspberries, strawberries, red currants, gooseberries, figs);
  • sharp and salty cheeses, milk - neutralizes hydrochloric acid;
  • pork, beef, lamb 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 allowed and recommended for gastritis with increased acidity should neutralize the high hydrochloric acid content in the stomach and facilitate digestion in the stomach (puréed dishes, liquid porridge, boiled meat, fish and poultry).

Allowed products for hyperacid gastritis:

  • "yesterday" or dried bread, crackers, dry crackers (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: milk cream, marshmallows, marshmallows, honey (drinking honey water 1.5-2 hours before a meal reduces acidity in the stomach, has a healing and immune-stimulating effect);
  • butter (natural and ghee), vegetable oils (containing vitamin E, which neutralizes hydrochloric acid);
  • lean varieties of meat and poultry (veal, beef without sinews and gizzards, "white" chicken meat);
  • milk, cream, low-fat cottage cheese (acid binding - action against heartburn, coats the gastric mucosa, neutralizes gastric juice);
  • river fish (contains a large amount of unsaturated fat, which normalizes 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, potatoes, carrot juice (or a mixture) - antacid effect, high content of vitamin U - anti-ulcer factor;
  • Brussels sprouts (high in vitamin C, which has a healing effect and stimulates the appetite), weak tea or coffee with milk, cocoa, still mineral water (removal of toxins).

With low acidity

Products recommended for gastritis with low acidity should stimulate the production of hydrochloric acid.Eating should be together at the beginning of the release of gastric juice.

Allowed products for gastritis low:

  • dried bread, biscuits, baked goods;
  • porridge with water or diluted milk, well cooked, liquid, also steamed meatballs and cutlets, puddings, soufflés;
  • veal, beef, skinless chicken;
  • low-fat meat and fish broth, you can add cereal, pasta, if it is tolerated well, borscht, cabbage soup, beetroot soup with finely chopped vegetables;
  • potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, cabbage (finely chopped), cabbage, cauliflower (boiled, steamed or in the form of puree, pudding);
  • juice from potatoes, cabbage, carrots just before a meal (stimulate the release of hydrochloric acid);
  • honey water before meals (stimulates acid formation), watermelon, peeled grapes, baked apples, compote and mousse made from very ripe and sweet fruits and berries;
  • tea with lemon, weak coffee, cocoa with diluted milk, rose cutlery;
  • vegetable oils, butter;
  • fermented milk products, grated and mild cheese in small slices;
  • soft boiled eggs or egg white omelette.

The need to follow a diet

No medicine can completely cure acute gastritis or lead to permanent improvement in the case of chronic gastritis.

All advertised medicines, accessible 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 chart for gastritis is whole and healthy food, normal 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 normalizes not only the functioning of the digestive tract, but also all metabolic processes, thereby strengthening the immune system.

Consequences of not following a diet

consequences of non-adherence to the gastritis diet

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

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