4. Eating should be at the same time, the patient should at least get as close to a clear schedule as possible.

What can be eaten with gastritis with high acidity

The diagnosis of gastritis with high acidity is made only after a complete examination of the patient - this is done in a medical institution.If the disease in question becomes chronic, then patients will complain of severe pain between meals and heartburn.The purpose of dietary nutrition in gastritis with high acidity is to prevent the development of the above syndromes.

What is allowed is for gastritis with high acidity:

1. Soups.They should be prepared only on water, milk or vegetable broth.As an additive you can use small pasta, cereals and various vegetables.It is advisable to use the first dishes in a garbled form, the ideal option would be soups-purees.
2. The second course.It is allowed to include in the menu fish and meat dishes, steamed, baked in the oven.If the remission lasts a long time, then you can prepare these products and by frying, but they should be eaten without eating an appetizing crust.
3. Garnish.Both porridge, vegetables, and pasta are allowed.But porridge should be viscous, vegetables - only cooked, steamed or steamed, pasta - of the highest quality.
4. Snacks.It is understood that a patient with diagnosed gastritis with increased acidity of the gastric juice can be fed salads of fresh and boiled vegetables, meat and fish cold snacks( foods should be baked or boiled), dairy sausages and light cheese.
5. Milk and dairy products.It is recommended to use yoghurts and cottage cheese, sour cream and ryazhenka without large percentages of fat content and berry-fruit supplements.Milk whole can be introduced into the diet, but in extremely limited quantities.
6. Bread and loaf.You can eat wheat bread, but it should be dried, from baking it is allowed to take dry biscuits and rolls from an uncomfortable dough.
7. Any berries and fruits.But we need to make an exception for acidic varieties - they just provoke an increased isolation of gastric juice, which in turn leads to a more intense manifestation of pain and heartburn.
8. Fats.In the diet should be present vegetable oils( sunflower, olive, corn and others) and butter in a limited amount( for example, as an additive to viscous porridge or pasta).

Doctors recommend that patients with gastritis with high acidity use honey, but limited - in small amounts this product has a beneficial effect on the gastric mucosa and reduces the level of acidity of gastric juice.

What can not be eaten with gastritis with high acidity

Since we are considering gastritis with increased acidity of gastric juice, then from the diet should exclude all foods that can increase this very acidity. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to enter into the menu products:

• possessing stimulating fermentation processes;
• poorly digestible in the stomach;
• provoking increased production of gastric juice;
• have an aggressive effect on the gastric mucosa.

Products that actively influence the processes of gastric juice production:

1. Garlic.This product in its composition contains a lot of phytoncides - they just increase appetite, stimulate the increased production of gastric juice.
2. Kiwi.This fruit, which has an sour-sweet taste, has a beneficial effect on the process of regeneration of tissues and mucous membranes.But it is with increased acidity of gastric juice from kiwi should be discarded - the acids contained in it will certainly have a disastrous effect on the state of the gastric mucosa.
3. Citrus fruits.Oranges, tangerines, lemons and in general all the fruits belonging to the group of citrus are strictly forbidden to eat while the acidity of the gastric juice is high.They contain a large number of different organic acids - they provoke increased secretion of gastric juice.

What acts aggressively on the gastric mucosa:

1. Nuts.In general, doctors recommend that this product be introduced into the diet of patients with the disease in question, but in strictly limited quantities.It is a large number of nuts consumed( of different varieties) that provokes an exacerbation of gastritis.
2. Chocolate, coffee and cocoa.Despite the excellent taste, these products can not be eaten with increased acidity of the gastric juice - the caffeine contained in them, provokes the development of reflux( the release of stomach contents into the esophagus of a spontaneous nature).
3. Ice cream.This delicacy contains a large number of flavors, preservatives, dyes - in general, there are a lot of chemicals in ice cream.And all of these, combined with a low product temperature, have an extremely negative effect on the gastric mucosa.

What can provoke the development of fermentation processes in the stomach:

1. Millet, corn, pearl barley and legumes.These products, even after heat treatment, contain coarse fibers in their composition - they also provoke fermentation processes in the stomach.
2. Grapes.It contains a lot of useful substances, but it differs in thick skin - it also provokes fermenting processes in the stomach.Doctors specify - if grapes without skin are used for food, nothing terrible will happen.

There is a category of products that, in principle, can be eaten with gastritis with increased acidity.But they are very poorly digested in the stomach, which leads to fermentation processes and provokes an increase in the level of acidity. These products include:

1. Smoked meat products, duck meat, goose and pork.In the listed varieties / types of meat contains a very large amount of fats - they also inhibit the production of hydrochloric acid.But with all this, they practically do not stay in the stomach, get into the intestines almost in their original form - it aggressively affects the mucosa, it irritates it.
2. Pelmeni.This product almost always causes heartburn and a feeling of heaviness in the stomach in people with diagnosed gastritis with increased acidity.It is noteworthy that the boiled dough and meat-free low-fat minced meat can be eaten separately as part of the diet for the disease under consideration.Melons and melons.
3. . Melons and watermelons.Despite the apparent safety of these fruits, one must remember the high content of fiber and fibrous particles in their composition.This is what determines the need to limit the number of melons and watermelons consumed in food( in any form, salt, jam, mousse and so on).
4. The liver of birds and animals.It has a lot of cholesterol - this is already the reason for the decrease in the production of hydrochloric acid.When the liver leaves the stomach into the intestine, there is a strong irritation of the walls of the hollow organ.

In principle, a diet with gastritis with high acidity is very diverse - the patient will not exactly complain about the constant feeling of hunger, the lack of sweet foods in the menu.But a well-crafted menu can help to cope not only with the symptoms of the disease in question, but also with disturbances in metabolic processes - this inevitably leads to a reduction in the weight of the patient.The

Sample menu for one day:

• Breakfast - egg chicken soft, a cup of loose black tea with milk, oatmeal in water with the addition of a small amount of milk( optional);
• The second breakfast - an apple of sweet varieties, baked in an oven with honey, a glass of low-fat milk;
• Lunch - fish soup, veal meatballs( chicken), boiled pasta, fruit and berries jelly;
• Snack - dry biscuits with broth of rose hips;
• Dinner - buckwheat porridge, cooked on water, cutlets from fish or rabbit, weak tea with milk.

Diet during the exacerbation of

Periodically gastritis with increased acidity of gastric juice is aggravated - in this case.Doctors recommend the patient to switch to a more rigid diet. In the diet during the exacerbation of the disease in question can include:

• porridges viscous, boiled on water from buckwheat, rice or oatmeal( they must be crushed before cooking);
• omelettes from the protein of chicken eggs;
• soups puree on water without meat and fish;
• steamed cutlets from chicken or low-fat veal;
• jammed with berries and fruits, decoction of rose hips.

Only after 3-5 days, when the symptoms of exacerbation of gastritis with increased acidity will abate, it will be possible to add milk and meat broths to the menu - all exclusively by the permission of the attending physician.

Adhering to the stated principles of nutrition in this disease, a person can lead an active life for many years and not fall into medical institutions with bouts of exacerbation.
