Diet for gastritis: recipes and exemplary menu for the week

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

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

Basic rules for food consumption

For gastritis, the diet can be strict, gentle and preventive (every day during remission). The type of food is selected according to the established form and stage of the disease, as well as the associated pathologies (diabetes, heart attack, obesity, etc. ). Treatment tables for 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 not meet GOST standards.

What therapeutic nutrition is used for gastritis:

1. Table #1. Prescribed for gastritis with normal and increased acidity in the attenuation phase, and in case of acute gastritis - during the recovery phase. Also used for stomach and duodenal ulcers.
2. Table No. 1-a. Used for acute gastritis or marked exacerbation of chronic gastritis. Also used for ulcers and burns of the esophagus.
3. Table No. 1-b. Prescribed for gastritis and ulcers during the period of attenuation of the process.
4. Table #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 No. 5. Prescribed in the recovery phase of acute gastritis accompanied by cholecystitis. This diet is also used for liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.
6. Ideal food option (ATS). A balanced diet for gastritis sufferers is drawn up based on tablesNo. 1─1-вand is used in everyday life to prevent relapse.

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 food for gastritis

Proper nutrition for gastritis of the stomach consists in observing principles such as food processing technology, mode, frequency, selection of products and calorie content, control of food temperature, time of use. They must be followed not only during treatment, but also at home to avoid reinflammation of the gastric mucosa.

Food Processing Technology

If you have 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

During exacerbations of chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane, the principle of nutrition is the same.

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