Diet for gastritis: recipes and sample menus for the week

The gastritis diet accelerates the restoration of the stomach lining. With its help, the effectiveness of treatment also increases, relapses of inflammatory processes in the organ and complications of the disease are prevented. What diet is necessary for gastritis of the stomach?

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

Fundamental rules for food consumption

For gastritis, the diet can be strict, gentle and preventive (every day during remission). The type of nutrition is selected based on the established form and stage of the disease, as well as associated pathologies (diabetes, heart attack, obesity and so on). Tables for the treatment of gastritis and other diseases were developed in 1929. Today, in connection with new research results, the dietary system has been slightly supplemented, and some products have been excluded because their production does not comply with GOST standards.

What therapeutic nutrition is used for gastritis:

1. Table no. 1. Prescribed for gastritis with normal and high 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 a strong 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 easing of the process.
4. Table no. 2. Used for chronic and acute forms of gastritis with low acidity after the exacerbation has been eliminated. It is also used for intestinal pathologies.
5. Table no. 5. Prescribed in the recovery phase for acute gastritis accompanied by cholecystitis. This diet is also used for liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.
6. Optimal food option (ATS). A balanced diet for those suffering from gastritis is created on the basis of tablesNo. 1─1-âand is used in everyday life to prevent relapses.

If concomitant pathologies are present, it is recommended to select food 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

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

Food processing technology

For any type of disease such as gastritis, the diet should includeboiled,passivated,steam,cooked in foilORplate sleeve. During gastritis flare-ups, food (all foods) should be blended until pureed. It is forbidden to fry food until it becomes crispy.

If you have gastritis, you should not use breadcrumbs or flour before frying. During the cooking process they form a rough crust on the food which, if it enters the gastrointestinal tract, is poorly digested and can increase inflammation and pain.

Mode and frequency

How to eat with stomach gastritis? In case of pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract and other digestive organs it is necessary to prescribe fractional meals so as not to load the stomach with a large amount of food. Therefore, the entire daily ration is divided into5─6 times: 2 breakfasts (morning, lunch), lunch, dinner, snacks (afternoon snack, before bed).

The gastritis diet involves the consumption of high-quality, properly prepared foods at a certain time of day. A person needs to eat small portions according to a set schedule. This allows the stomach to work delicately and the body to receive all the necessary substances in a timely manner.

Selection of products and calories for gastritis

The energy value of treatment tables is designed for patients in a hospital or sanatorium. Therefore, in everyday life, when a person needs to work and move a lot, he needs to adapt the calorie content of food according to his physical needs. The table below shows the types of products on which the diet for gastritis of the stomach is based, what you can eat and what you cannot eat.

Food temperature control

Food for gastritis of all types should not be very hot or cold. For the correct functioning of the stomach, the optimal temperature of food is36─37 °C,and acceptable – fromfrom 15°C to 60°C.Cold food is removed from the organ worse, further loading the antrum and causing a feeling of heaviness, and too hot food burns the inflamed mucosa, so wounds may appear on it.

Duration of use of therapeutic nutrition

How long does the gastritis diet last? This directly depends on the type of pathology, the degree of damage to the membrane and the speed of recovery. Therefore, the duration of the diet is determined by the doctor. Usually a strict diet lasts 5-7 days, a gentle diet lasts up to 21 days. The use of therapeutic nutrition for preventive purposes can last up to 2-4 months. If the patient is diagnosed with atrophic type of stomach disease, it is likely that she will have to follow the diet for life.

Diet therapy for high acidity and gastritis

Diet foods for gastritis and heartburn are selected on the basis of those products that do not cause an increase in secretory secretions, but help to relieve inflammation and heal the mucosa.

If you have high acidity, it is advisable to drink freshly squeezed potato juice every month for 7 days. Take 125 ml on an empty stomach before breakfast and then consume 60 minutes later.

What to eat for gastritis of the stomach with higher than normal acidity:

• boiled dietary meat (chicken, rabbit, beef);
• steamed lean fish fillet;
• vegetable purees with the addition of butter (ghee, butter);
• steamed protein omelettes, poached eggs;
• milk, fermented cooked milk, cream;
• baked sweet fruit;
• milk jelly, gelatin;
• cookies.

Among cereals it is advisable to consume more buckwheat, and among dairy products it is better to choose goat's milk products. All these dishes delay secretion and prevent heartburn.

Nutrition for gastric insufficiency and gastritis

A diet for gastritis of the stomach with lower than normal acidity should include bitters that stimulate the formation of juice and cause appetite. But during relapses, you should not eat a lot of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables.

What diet should you follow for low acid gastritis:

• it is allowed to consume more meat and fish dishes, broths;
• you can eat soaked herring, fried or baked cutlets, vegetables;
• Finely chopped greens and lightly salted cucumbers are added to the food;
• drink vegetable and multifruit juices, herbal teas for the stomach;
• diluted and boiled milk (drink whole milk only if it is well tolerated).

Gastric secretion improves if food intake begins with salads. During an exacerbation, it is advisable to drink warmed white cabbage juice. Drink 125 ml three times a day 60 minutes before meals.

Diet for the acute development of gastritis

The list of foods that are consumed with gastritis of the stomach during an intensely progressive disease is reduced to boiled liquid puree and low-calorie foods. As the tissues heal, heat-treated grated vegetables, minced meat and gruel are gradually added to the menu. When this is possible, your doctor will tell you. During exacerbations of chronic inflammation of the mucosa, the principle of nutrition is the same.

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

1. Complete daily fasting is initially indicated. You can drink warm boiled water (1 tablespoon every 5-15 minutes until your thirst is quenched).
2. After 24 hours, a strict diet for patients with gastritis is supplemented with oatmeal soup (mucous), herbal teas (gastric infusions), rosehip decoction and non-concentrated chicken broth.
3. On the third day, milk semolina and/or grated rice porridge, gelatin, sweet compote and low-fat milk are added to the menu.
4. After eliminating the pain syndrome and other acute symptoms of the pathology, white crackers, steamed fish, omelettes and meatballs are added to the diet for gastritis.

As the inflammation subsides, grated food is included in the menu, and then the patient is transferred to a gentle diet. Table no. is usually assigned first. 1-b and then n. 1.

Nutrition in the attenuation phase of gastritis

A gentle diet for gastritis is prescribed in the case of a mild course of the pathology, as well as after the removal of acute symptoms. The menu should consist only of properly prepared and easily digestible dishes, but there must be a complete diet.

How to eat correctly with gastritis every day during a gentle diet:

• energy value of food – 2200-2900 kcal;
• salt – 6 g;
• animal and vegetable fats – from 75 to 100 g;
• proteins – 85-100 g;
• carbohydrates – 250-400 g;
• free liquid - 1-1, 5 l.

You can't stop your diet or give up soups. A gentle diet for gastritis of the stomach does not contain products that mechanically load the organ or irritate the mucosa (raw food, uncut meat, raw berries, etc. ).

An approximate daily diet for chronic gastritis in the acute phase or for acute gastritis after the attack is alleviated:

1. Breakfast: oat puree with water, yogurt.
2. Lunch(11: 00─11: 30): baked apples with cottage cheese, weak sweet tea diluted with milk.
3. Dinner: potato and carrot puree soup, buckwheat polenta, meatballs, bread with rabbit pate, compote.
