Diet for gastritis: recipes and sample menu for the week

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

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

Basic rules for food consumption

For gastritis, the diet can be strict, gentle and preventive (everyday during remission). The type of nutrition is selected according to the established form and stage of the disease, as well as associated pathologies (diabetes, heart attack, obesity, and so on). Treatment tables for gastritis and other diseases were developed back in 1929. Today, in connection with new research results, the diet 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 the case of acute gastritis - during the recovery phase. Also used for ulcers of the stomach and duodenum.
2. Table No. 1-a. Used for acute gastritis or a sharp 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 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 stage 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 gastritis sufferers is created on the basis of tablesNo. 1─1-вand is used in everyday life to prevent relapses.

If there are concomitant pathologies, then it is recommended to select food for the diet with the help of a doctor. He will make up 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 hormonal system disorders.

Rules for eating food for gastritis

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

Food Processing Technology

For any type of disease such as gastritis, the diet should includeboiled,passivated,steam,baked in foilorsleeve of the dish. During exacerbations of gastritis, food (all food) should be pureed until pureed. It is forbidden to fry food until crispy.

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

How to eat with gastritis of the stomach? In case of pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract and other digestive organs, split meals must be prescribed 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 diet for gastritis involves consuming high-quality, properly prepared food at a certain time of day. A person needs to eat small portions according to a set schedule. This allows the stomach to work in a gentle manner, and the body to receive all the necessary substances in a timely manner.

Duration of use of therapeutic nutrition

How long does a diet for gastritis 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 the purpose of prevention can last up to 2-4 months. If the patient is diagnosed with an atrophic type of stomach disease, then it is likely that he will have to follow the diet for life.

Diet therapy for high acidity and gastritis

Dietary foods for gastritis and heartburn are selected based on those products that do not cause an increase in secretory secretions, but help relieve inflammation and heal the mucous membrane.

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

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

• boiled dietary meat (chicken, rabbit, beef);
• lean steamed fish fillet;
• vegetable purees with added butter (ghee, butter);
• steamed protein omelettes, poached eggs;
• milk, fermented baked milk, cream;
• baked sweet fruits;
• milk jelly, jelly;
• biscuits.

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

Nutrition for gastric insufficiency and gastritis

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

What diet should you follow for gastritis with low acidity:

• 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 stomach tea;
• diluted, 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 heated white cabbage juice. Drink 125 ml three times a day 60 minutes before eating.

Diet for acute development of gastritis

The list of foods that are eaten for gastritis of the stomach during the period of an intensively progressive disease comes down to boiled liquid puree and low-calorie foods. As the tissues heal, grated heat-treated vegetables, ground meat, and gruel are gradually added to the menu. When this can be done, the attending physician will tell you. 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:

1. Initially, complete daily fasting is 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 (mucous) soup, herbal teas (gastric infusions), rosehip decoction, and non-concentrated chicken broth.
3. On day 3, milk semolina and/or grated rice porridge, jelly, 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. Usually, table No. 1-b is assigned first, and then No. 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 be composed only of properly prepared, easily digestible dishes, but there must be a complete diet.

How to eat properly 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 break 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 mucous membrane (rough food, uncut meat, raw berries, etc. ).

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

1. First breakfast: pureed oatmeal 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 porridge, meatballs, bread with rabbit meat pate, compote.
