Diet for gastritis: menu for the day

Inflammation of the gastric mucosa is uncomfortable and painful.

In addition to drug therapy, diet for gastric gastritis is of great importance - the "right" products do not irritate the walls, contribute to the regeneration of the epithelium and maintain remission of the disease.

What to eat for gastritis

There are many reasons why gastritis develops:

• Improper diet, with a predominance of dry, spicy, hot food;
• Unbalanced diets;
• Abuse of alcoholic beverages, soda;
• Taking certain medicines that irritate the stomach lining

Before talking about what you can eat with gastritis and what to give up, you need to learn a few basic tenets of the diet:

1. Eating should be regular. You should not take long breaks between meals, missed lunch or afternoon tea should not be replaced by a "double" dinner for any reason;
2. In gastritis, fractional dishes are shown - in small portions at short intervals;
3. If possible, do not mix solid and liquid foods; the first dishes must be separate from the second. Dishes with a liquid or puree-like consistency are the easiest to digest;
4. Food temperature should not be too high or low, hot food is optimally absorbed and does not irritate the stomach;
5. The use of salt must be kept to a minimum and spices and seasonings must be completely abandoned;
6. The diet should be rich in vitamins, but fiber for patients with gastritis is too heavy a food;
7. Dishes are cooked boiled (steamed) or stewed;
