Menu for gallstones (GB): recipes for 7 days

Nutritional Features

A gentle diet has been developed for people with pathologies of the gallbladder, biliary tract and liver. It provides meals that are not low in calories, but limit the consumption of harmful foods.

The diet prescribes:

  • eat 4 to 6 times a day;
  • do not overeat;
  • do not drink after meals, so as not to impair digestion;
  • eat a lot of vegetables;
  • do not mix different types of dishes at the same time;
  • grind foods to facilitate the functioning of the gallbladder;

Therapeutic nutrition is prescribed for the following purposes:

  • prevent digestive disorders;
  • reduce cholesterol levels;
  • eliminate fermentation processes in the intestines.

It is extremely important to limit your intake of foods rich in cholesterol.

General recommendations for the menu for stones in the gallbladder

In case of biliary disease, the total energy consumption per day should be 2400-2600 kilocalories. In this case, the volume of carbohydrates in the diet should be 280-320 grams, fats - preferably no more than 90 grams, and the same amount of proteins. The main factor in the development of exacerbations of cholelithiasis is the intake of food containing large amounts of fat, as well as fried foods.

In order to prevent the disease from worsening, the following rules should be followed:

  • Under no circumstances allow yourself to overeat; you need to eat in small portions (up to five to seven times a day);
  • The temperature of the food should be warm, since unsuitable temperature may trigger a functional problem of the gallbladder, such as gallbladder spasm;
  • The amount of liquid you drink should be increased, but salt intake, on the contrary, should be reduced;
  • Eliminate high-cholesterol foods from the diet; it is not allowed to take spices, essential oils, and, of course, foods prepared by frying;
  • In our stores on the shelves there is a huge number of semi-finished products, which also should not be included in the menu;
  • It is strictly forbidden to eat pickles, canned foods and foods containing a large number of acidifying agents.

A balanced diet that should be followed for gallstones should be based on boiled, stewed and oven-cooked foods (but without the so-called “crust”), as well as plant products and cereals (moderate in taste - neutral).

If it is not possible to give up broths and soups containing meat during a diet, then it is permissible to cook such dishes using lean meat and dilute them heavily with water or vegetable broth.

It is good to drink still mineral water allowed by the diet (Slavyanka) half an hour before meals. Coffee lovers who cannot give it up at all should at least reduce its concentration during the diet, drink it not on an empty stomach and with milk.

Drinking alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited.

Sample menu

The menu for gallstone disease will be correctly drawn up, focusing on the list of permitted products that are as gentle as possible on the liver. A sample menu for those on a diet might look like this:

Diet for gallstone disease during exacerbation

During an exacerbation of the disease, diet therapy must be followed in strict order - this will not only reduce the symptoms of the disease, but will also help to achieve remission faster.

During an attack of cholelithiasis, on the first day it is recommended to drink only herbal teas with the addition of rose hips and lemon balm. A small amount of liquid vegetable puree or broth is acceptable. Starting from the second day, during an exacerbation, you can gradually increase your diet, including more and more permitted foods in your diet. The main thing is to follow the basic rules indicated above. During the period when the disease has worsened, it is recommended to drink a mug of warm water or kefir at night to improve liver motility and gallbladder.

After an attack of gallstone disease, it is necessary to maintain nutrition with the right foods, since there is a risk of a new exacerbation. 7-10 days after the onset of an exacerbation, experts advise switching to special medical diet therapy - table No. 5.

Magnesium diet

There is a healthy diet of foods containing a lot of magnesium salts. The chemical element helps:

  • relieve spasm and contract the gallbladder;
  • improve intestinal motility;
  • weaken the inflammatory process.

  • dinner: cottage cheese soufflé, weak tea;
  • shortly before bedtime: rosehip infusion (100 ml).

When is diet number 5 prescribed?

Gallstone disease almost never manifests itself separately. Therefore, inflammation in the gallbladder is accompanied by other pathologies that affect the following organs:

  • liver;
  • stomach;
  • intestines;
  • pancreas;
  • the cardiovascular system;
  • nervous system.

Diet No. 5 is prescribed for the following diseases:

  • Gallstone disease.
  • Hepatitis.
  • Gallstones.

What is included in this diet, what are its features and how it should be followed during an exacerbation of the disease, we will find out further.

Diet recommendations for gallstone disease

If you have gallstones or gallstones, you need to follow these rules in terms of nutrition:

  1. The energy value of the daily diet should be from 2 thousand to 2500 kcal, which is determined by the physiological characteristics of the body during this period.
  2. The amount of carbohydrates consumed should be in the range of 300−350, fats - about 90 g and proteins - 90 g, respectively. Remember that if there are stones in the gall bladder, the most serious provocateur of possible exacerbations is too fatty and fried foods.
  3. Avoid overeating.
  4. Products should not be hot or cold; consume everything warm.
  5. Practice split meals in small portions 6 times a day.
  6. Be sure to exclude refractory fats and stimulants of gastric and pancreatic secretion from your diet. These are spices, additives, foods high in cholesterol and with essential oils.
  7. The basis of nutrition is vegetables and fruits.
  8. Fried foods are strictly prohibited; steam, boil and sometimes bake foods.

Which fruits are ok and which are not for gallstone disease?

If you have gallstones and cholecystitis, you need to follow a diet that, although it allows you to eat fruit, is not all. With diet No. 5, you need to exclude the following acidic fruits and berries from your diet:

  • citrus;
  • gooseberry;
  • sour apples;

  • mango.

The following fruits are acceptable for gallstones:

  • Bananas.
  • Sweet apples;
  • Melon.
  • Watermelon.
  • Avocado.
  • Strawberry.
  • Papaya.

But it’s better to cancel the grapes for now. The fact is that against the background of cholelithiasis and gallstones, the patient may experience diseases of the digestive system in the form of pancreatitis or gastritis. Therefore, you need to remove foods from your diet that can cause inflammation and fermentation of organs. These include grapes, black bread, kvass, cabbage and others.

Listen to yourself, if after this or that fruit you feel discomfort in your stomach, you need to either refuse it or reduce the dose of consumption.

What fruits can you eat?

When deciding what fruits you can eat if you have gallstone disease, you need to take into account their taste. The diet recommends eating sweet fruits:

  • pears;
  • bananas;
  • persimmon;
  • avocado;
  • grenades;
  • watermelons;
  • papaya;
  • pineapples;
  • soft apples, better baked.

These fruits can be eaten little by little. If discomfort occurs, you should stop using. Dried fruits can be used for food both in dishes and on their own.

What drinks can you drink?

Some drinks with gallstone disease have a negative effect on health. Will not cause harm:

  • not strongly brewed tea (it is allowed to add low-fat milk, sugar, lemon);
  • juices squeezed from sweet fruits (diluted with water);
  • jelly, fruit drinks (from non-acidic fruits);
  • stevia drinks;
  • compotes;
  • chamomile tea;
  • Slightly warmed cabbage juice is very useful;
  • rosehip drink;
  • fresh wild strawberry juice, infusion of its berries and leaves;
  • low fat kefir;
  • live yoghurts.

Coffee

Is it possible to drink coffee if you have gallstone disease? Many people ask this question. Unfortunately, the drink is harmful. It will have to be practically excluded from the diet.

Outside of an exacerbation, it is allowed to drink weakly brewed coffee, adding milk.

Alcohol

Alcohol is contraindicated for gallstone disease ! When drinking alcohol:

  • there is a toxic effect, the load on the liver increases, the activity of which is already complicated due to the disease;
  • the development of an inflammatory process in the pancreas is possible. This will make it difficult to treat gallstone disease.

Milk

You can drink milk if you have gallstone disease. It should not contain a lot of fat. Skim milk (separated from the creamy mass) is useful. Its fat content is 0.5% or less. It is good to add the product to tea and coffee.

Restrictions and prohibited foods after an attack

The diet after an attack of gallstone disease is prescribed to be as gentle as possible. The body that has experienced stress needs to return to normal.

Prohibited foods after an attack:

  • fat;
  • sour;
  • smoked meats;
  • fried;
  • any canned food;
  • spicy;
  • meat on the first day of an attack;
  • salt.

The diet for exacerbation of cholelithiasis prescribes frequent meals in small portions. This in itself helps to improve the patient's condition.

Diet features

When preparing a diet, take into account:

  • biliary inflammation phase;
  • weight and age;
  • bowel regularity;
  • background diseases, etc.

The chemical composition of the therapeutic nutrition system must be physiological, that is, correspond to the age, degree of physical activity, and gender of the patient.


For diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, food is taken often. If inflammation worsens, smoked and rich foods are completely removed from the menu.

During exacerbation of cholelithiasis

The diet for gallstone disease during an exacerbation involves avoiding fried foods. To improve your well-being you should:

  • exclude meat dishes for 10 days;
  • grind vegetables in a blender;
  • eat only boiled or baked vegetables;
  • do a drinking day every 7 days;
  • take soups, low-fat sour milk, and vegetables as the basis of your diet.

This diet is followed for 2 weeks after an attack of gallstone disease. After stabilization of health, they move to table No. 5.

For inflammation of the gallbladder

A well-designed diet prevents bile from thickening. In case of relapse of the disease, it is advisable to:

  • refuse food for 1-2 days;
  • drink up to 2 liters of Narzan, Borjomi or other mineral water per day;
  • after two days, add grated vegetables and fruits to the menu;
  • eat food every 2 hours.

For non-calculous cholecystitis, you need to eat mucous oatmeal soups and porridge with rice. After the symptoms of the disease subside, the menu is expanded to include cottage cheese, beef, fish, and crackers.

After stone removal

The diet after crushing stones is aimed at stimulating bile drainage. The menu includes chemically neutral products that do not irritate the gastrointestinal tract, but improve the flow of bile.


After laparoscopy, the diet is followed for 6-10 months. Refusal of a rational nutrition system is dangerous due to complications.

Nutrition principles:

  • energy value of the daily diet – 1800-2000 kcal;
  • the ratio of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates is 1:1:4;
  • the optimal heat treatment mode is cooking;
  • the volume of one serving is no more than the size of a fist;
  • the temperature of food consumed is up to 50°C.

For a week after the operation, food is taken pureed. Only from the fifth day is it allowed to eat meat dishes.

After removal of the gallbladder with stones

Cholecystectomy is a serious operation that affects the functions of the gastrointestinal tract. For a month, patients must follow a diet taking into account the following rules:

  • Do not eat on the eve of cholecystectomy. You can drink up to 0.5 liters of water.
  • The day after cholecystectomy, you are allowed to eat pureed vegetable soups. You can drink chamomile decoction or kefir.
  • After 5 days, eat diet cutlets, meat rolls, chicken soufflé, and fish.

A week later, light foods are introduced into the diet - porridge, pureed soups, boiled vegetables.

Is fasting advisable?

Fasting for cholelithiasis is advisable at the time of exacerbation, no longer than a day. Drinking is allowed. Recommended drinks:

  • water (up to 2.5 l);
  • weak tea;
  • fruit juice diluted with water.

In other cases, abstinence from food is not indicated: this contributes to the formation of new stones. During fasting, bile is not evacuated, it stagnates, and thickens. Sediment forms in it, from which new stones grow. In addition, its liquid part is absorbed through the walls of the gallbladder. This also causes the substance to thicken.

And after a long fast, eating food provokes increased contraction of the walls of the gallbladder, which can cause an attack of hepatic colic.

Reviews about drinking soda

Reviews of soda treatment for gallstone disease indicate that such treatment can seriously harm the body. This method cannot dissolve or reduce the size of gallstones.

Reviews from patients indicate negative results from using soda:

  • exacerbation of cholecystitis with a temperature of 41°C;
  • an increase in gallstones from 4-6 mm to 6-10 mm;
  • after several years of daily use to suppress heartburn - emergency surgery for calculous (with stones) cholecystitis;
  • as a result of long-term use, stomach acidity increased and gastritis was diagnosed;
  • after systematic use - an attack of vomiting blood.

A constant artificial decrease in the acidity of the stomach with sodium bicarbonate disrupts its secretory function. This is associated with the appearance of a choleretic effect. They compensate for the weakening of the antimicrobial activity of gastric acid. Bile has the same disinfecting effect as the latter. Further stone formation occurs. This process is associated with an increase in the concentration of bile in the bladder. Heartburn appears and gastritis occurs, caused by excess production of acid in the stomach due to disorders of secretory function.

Soda cannot be recommended for the treatment of gallstone disease.

Recommended Products

Diet for gallstones should contain pectins and lipotropics. Products rich in pectins demonstrate an anti-inflammatory effect, cleanse the body of toxic substances, and help normalize intestinal microflora. And lipotropics thin the liver secretions, accelerate the breakdown of fats, and prevent the deposition of cholesterol plaques on the walls of blood vessels.

In addition, foods rich in magnesium are useful for cholelithiasis. They eliminate spasm of the biliary organs, eliminate inflammation, and normalize intestinal motility.

Patients are interested in the question of what products are useful for cholelithiasis. According to nutritionists, during treatment of pathology it is recommended to consume the following foods, dishes and drinks:

  • Rye or bran bread, preferably stale.
  • Galette cookies.
  • Oatmeal, buckwheat, thick rice or semolina porridge with water or milk (half and half with water).
  • Dishes from veal, rabbit, chicken, beef.
  • Diet sausages.
  • Lean fish.
  • Wheat cuts, nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin.
  • A little butter.
  • Weak tea and alkaline mineral water (Essentuki, Borjomi) are used to dissolve small stones. In addition, it is recommended to drink pureed dried fruit compote, rosehip decoction, and freshly squeezed juices diluted with water.
  • The patient should eat vegetables that contain pectins every day: beets, pumpkin, carrots. In addition, the diet needs to be replenished with foods rich in starch: potatoes, zucchini, paprika, cucumbers.
  • Soups with vegetable broth, milk soup with noodles, fruit soup.
  • Ripe bananas, baked apples, pomegranate. Fruits are allowed to be consumed only of sweet varieties and in minimal quantities.
  • Fermented milk products with a low fat content. Such products contain vitamin D, which shifts the pH of bile to the alkaline side, preventing the formation of stones.
  • Steamed protein omelette.
  • Mild and low-fat cheese.

In addition, patients can sometimes indulge in jelly, marmalade, marshmallows, dried fruits, mousses, and jelly.

There are many recipes for delicious and healthy dishes made from permitted products, for example, potato soup, steamed cottage cheese soufflé, dietary risotto, vegetarian borscht, etc.

If the patient follows the rules of nutrition, then over time the biliary tract will work better, and overall health will improve.

Traditional healers strongly recommend drinking freshly squeezed juices from carrots, beets, spinach, cucumber, celery and other vegetables, as they dissolve stones. For the same purpose, infusions of celandine, wormwood, sweet clover, knotweed, smokeweed, etc. are used.

However, before using traditional recipes, you should consult a doctor. Otherwise, there is a risk of exacerbation of the disease, as well as the development of dangerous complications.

Cholelithiasis

The disease consists of the formation of stones in the gallbladder and ducts of the patient. They are formed from:

  • cholesterol;
  • bilirubin;
  • mucus;
  • inflammation products;
  • calcium salts.

Provoke the occurrence of stones:

  • binge eating;
  • starvation;
  • consumption of harmful foods;
  • low physical activity, work in a sedentary position;
  • obesity;
  • stress;
  • pregnancy;
  • pathology of the pancreas.

The most characteristic manifestation of the disease is an attack of biliary colic.

This condition occurs in most cases when the stone moves through the ducts.

To prevent the development of the disease it is necessary:

  • regular physical activity;
  • healthy eating, diet;
  • combating obesity;
  • cure infectious and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
  • timely relief from bile stagnation;
  • prevention of large psycho-emotional stress.

The importance of diet

Diet for gallstones is considered an important component of the treatment process. The diet must be followed both during periods of exacerbation and during periods of remission (which helps prolong the remission).

A special diet helps normalize the functions of the liver and gall bladder, stabilizes cholesterol levels, and normalizes the functioning of the digestive system. Vitamins and minerals present in the diet during the diet boost immunity and also help solve the problem of excess weight (help lose weight). Violation of the diet and non-compliance with the diet can sharply aggravate the disease.

Chronic cholecystitis of the gallbladder often occurs with concomitant pathological disorders in the stomach, pancreas, liver, intestines, with nervous and cardiovascular diseases, and corresponding symptoms arise. For the treatment of hepatitis, acute and chronic cholecystitis, gallstones, there is a special diet - “Table number 5”.
