Diet for gastritis

Diet rules for gastritis of the stomach

Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining.There are hypoacid and hyperacid gastritis (i.e. with high or low acidity).

As is known, the stomach produces hydrochloric acid, the content of which determines the type of gastritis.Diet plays an important role in the treatment of gastritis.

Basic nutrition 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 contain:

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

The total energy value should be 2800-3000 kcal.

Diet rules for gastritis

Power mode

Firstly, you should follow a meal plan (at the same time).Secondly, with gastritis, meals should be taken in portions 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 disrupts the processes of processing and assimilation of food).

Reading while eating, watching TV and “eating while running” should be strictly excluded.

Know the measure

When it comes to gastritis, the saying “You should feel slightly hungry after eating” is more relevant than ever.

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

Chew food

Chewing food for a long time (at least 25-30 seconds per piece) promotes more thorough mechanical processing of food, which relieves stomach pain.In addition, in this case, hunger is satisfied faster (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, you need to rest (not necessarily sleep) for 15-20 minutes.You can read a book or listen to music.

Forbidden foods for gastritis

With increased acidity

forbidden foods for gastritis

With 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:

  • mechanically– Avoid eating foods with coarse fiber (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, too hot (optimal temperature 50 degrees).

Prohibited foods for hyperacid gastritis:

  • fresh, particularly warm bread, pastries made from butter and puff pastry;
  • Grains: pearl barley, legumes, millet, barley, corn (coarse fiber);
  • rich meat and fish broths, okroshka, borsch, mushroom soups (contain many extractive substances that stimulate the production of gastric juice);
  • fatty and fibrous meats: duck, chicken, pork, smoked meats (they are difficult to digest in the stomach and increase the formation of hydrochloric acid);
  • fatty and salty fish (provokes the formation of gastric juice);
  • fermented milk products (all sharp cheeses, limited to sour cream);
  • Vegetables: turnips, radishes, radishes, 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 eggs and hard-boiled eggs, animal fats (except butter).

Gastritis with low acidity

The goal of a diet for gastritis with low acidity is to stimulate the production of gastric juice (in moderation).Food intake should occur after the secretion of hydrochloric acid begins, that is, in the first phase (advertising or programs about food, beautiful photos of food, “delicious” conversations can provoke the release of gastric juice).

Prohibited foods for hypoacid gastritis:

  • fresh bread, rich pastries (“heavy” food for the stomach, complicates chemical and mechanical processing);
  • Restriction of pearl barley, legumes, millet;
  • fatty meat, meat with fascia (films), canned food, smoked meat (insufficient mechanical processing of food, excessive release of hydrochloric acid);
  • fatty and salty fish;
  • Vegetables and fruits with coarse fiber (white cabbage, beets, radishes, cucumbers, peppers), mushrooms;
  • Berries with seeds or thick skin (raspberries, strawberries, red currants, gooseberries, figs);
  • sharp and salty cheese, milk – neutralizes hydrochloric acid;
  • Pork, beef, lamb lard and fat (indigestible due to low hydrochloric acid production, difficult to digest foods);
  • Spices and spices (irritate the stomach 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 are designed to neutralize the high content of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and facilitate digestion in the stomach (puree, liquid porridge, boiled meat, fish and poultry).

Permitted products for hyperacid gastritis:

  • “yesterday” or dried bread, crackers, dry biscuits (cookies);
  • 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 (contain vitamin E, which neutralizes hydrochloric acid);
  • lean meat and poultry (veal, beef without tendons and fascia, “white” chicken meat);
  • Milk, cream, low-fat cottage cheese (antacid – anti-heartburn effect, coats the gastric mucosa, neutralizes gastric juice);
  • River fish (contains a large amount of unsaturated fats that normalize the functioning of the digestive tract) in the form of cutlets or stewed, 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 effect, high content of vitamin U – anti-ulcer factor;
  • Rosehip decoction (lots of vitamin C, which has a healing effect and stimulates the appetite), weak tea or coffee with milk, cocoa, still mineral water (detoxification).

With low acidity

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

Permitted products for hypoacid gastritis:

  • dried bread, crackers, baked goods;
  • Porridge with water or diluted milk, well cooked, liquid, also steamed meatballs and cutlets, puddings, casseroles;
  • veal, beef, skinless chicken;
  • low-fat meat and fish broths, if tolerated well, you can add cereals, pasta, borsch, cabbage soup, beetroot soup with finely chopped vegetables;
  • Potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, white cabbage (finely chopped), cauliflower (boiled, stewed or in the form of puree, pudding);
  • Juices from potatoes, cabbage, carrots immediately before meals (stimulate the release of hydrochloric acid);
  • Honey water before meals (stimulates acid formation), watermelons, peeled grapes, baked apples, compotes and mousses made from very ripe and sweet fruits and berries;
  • tea with lemon, weak coffee, cocoa with diluted milk, rosehip decoction;
  • 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 drug can completely cure acute gastritis or lead to stable remission in chronic gastritis.

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

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

The treatment table for gastritis is full and healthy nutrition, 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 gain weight, people who are overweight lose weight), since timely and nutritious nutrition normalizes not only the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, but also all metabolic processes, thereby strengthening the immune system.

Consequences of non-compliance with the diet

Consequences of non-compliance with the diet for gastritis

If you refuse to follow a diet because of some 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 impaired stomach function);
  • significant weight loss (fear of eating);
  • Peptic ulcers and their consequences: perforation of the ulcer, penetration of the ulcer - germination into the organ, bleeding;
  • the development of atrophic gastritis and its transformation into stomach cancer.
