Table 1 – diet, menu for the week, every day. Recipes, table of products, what is possible, what is not, how to cook

Basic diet rules

The diet for acute gastritis has strict rules. The main principle of nutrition is to minimize the load on the digestive tract and provide a gentle regime for the mucous membranes of the stomach. Food should not stimulate the enzyme activity of the gastrointestinal tract. The principles for creating a menu at different stages of the development of the disease differ.

In case of exacerbation, Diet 1A is used with strict restrictions; after the attack has stopped, it is allowed to switch to Diet 1B.

Basic Rules:

• The menu is based on slimy soups (based on vegetables or milk);
• Meat is allowed to be consumed only of lean varieties (the product must be boiled as much as possible; it is introduced into the menu in a ground form);
• When preparing dishes, cooking, stewing or steaming methods are used;
• Dishes can be prepared by baking, but the formation of a crust on food is unacceptable;
• fruits and vegetables can be consumed only after heat treatment;
• it is possible to expand the diet only when the main symptoms of acute gastritis subside;
• after pain symptoms have been relieved, meat and fish can be consumed in pieces, soups can be made richer, and porridges can be made crumbly (methods of cooking do not change);
• You are allowed to consume no more than 6 g of salt per day (the ingredient is added to dishes only after they are cooked).

Types of diet

For each stage of development of acute gastritis, special nutritional rules are provided. In case of severe pain symptoms, therapeutic fasting is recommended (on the first day of exacerbation of the disease).

During this period, you can drink water, weak tea or rosehip decoction. Dietary nutrition begins on the second day of therapy (if the patient has a pronounced tendency to recovery).

Types of dietary programs:

• in the first few days the patient is prescribed a gentle Diet No. 1 A (food should have a liquid or semi-liquid consistency);
• then it is allowed to move on to the nutritional principles of Diet No. 1 B (the diet is expanded, it is allowed to introduce dishes based on ground food products into the menu);
• during the recovery period, you can switch to Diet No. 2 (if the acidity of the gastric juice is reduced) or Diet No. 1 (if the acidity of the gastric juice is increased);
• Diets No. 1 and 2 imply the inclusion of dishes of various consistencies in the diet (meals should be fractional, balanced and taken at least six times a day).

What is Diet number 1

Nutrition for exacerbation of gastritis with low acidity

In case of aggravated gastritis, accompanied by low acidity, the patient is recommended to follow a diet for a full calendar month. If the disease relapses, the patient’s menu may include dishes such as steamed cutlets, pasta, cottage cheese, homemade crackers, herbs, fruits, and weak tea with added milk.

The main goal of the diet is to eliminate the symptoms of inflammation. Subsequently, the patient switches to another type of diet that promotes the production of hydrochloric acid.

Indications

The nutritional programs recommended for acute gastritis have differences and some similarities. The general principles lie in the methods of preparing dishes and the need to ensure minimal stress on the digestive tract.

The diet of different dietary complexes is compiled according to certain rules and implies different types of restrictions.

Indications for different nutrition programs:

• in case of exacerbation of acute gastritis, Diet 1A is recommended (minimum amount of food in the diet);
• acute gastritis after stopping the attack implies Diet 1B (gradual expansion of the diet);
• during remission of the disease, the patient is prescribed Diet 1 (with normal or increased acidity of gastric juice);
• remission of pathology with low acidity implies compliance with the rules of Diet 2;
• after treatment of the disease, the diet can be compiled according to the principles of Diet 5 (the main limitation is the exclusion of foods that can irritate the digestive tract).

Why do you need a diet for gastritis?

“Therapeutic table” is a medical term that means special, rather strict nutrition for the patient. It is generally accepted that a therapeutic diet is, if not the basis for recovery, then an essential component of the treatment of gastritis and other gastrointestinal diseases.

Doctors recommend this diet for patients with:

• acute gastritis (with preserved secretion (normal) or increased);
• gastroduodenitis;
• pancreatitis;
• chronic gastritis;
• atrophic gastritis, reflux gastritis;
• duodenal or gastric ulcer during recovery and other gastrointestinal diseases.

Dietary nutrition helps make food intake harmless: mechanically, chemically, physically. That is, the food is not dangerous either in composition, or in the method of preparation and serving, or in consistency.

What can you eat if you have acute gastritis?

The main cause of acute gastritis is considered to be a violation of the diet. Some foods are irritating to the digestive tract. The consequence is severe pain and deviations in the functional state of the stomach. An attack of the disease can be triggered by overeating, adherence to strict dietary programs, and abuse of light snacks and fast food. Acute gastritis requires a mandatory adjustment of the diet.

Authorized Products

The list of permitted products for acute gastritis includes only ingredients that do not have a negative effect on the functional state of the digestive tract and its mucous membranes. You can prepare dishes only by steaming, boiling, stewing or baking. Some stages of the disease require certain food consistencies.

For example, meat is allowed to be consumed during acute gastritis, but during the period of recovery of the body it can only be introduced into the diet in the form of a soufflé.

Table of permitted products

Fully or partially limited products

Products included in the list of prohibited options cannot be consumed in acute gastritis, even in minimal quantities. This rule applies to alcohol, carbonated drinks, hot spices and seasonings, fatty, fried, pickled, salty foods. The rich tastes of such products will provoke an exacerbation of the disease.

Table of fully or partially restricted products

Permitted and prohibited products

The diet for exacerbation of gastritis is quite strict. During this period, the following should be completely excluded from the patient’s diet:

• products that promote active secretion of gastric juice - spicy/fried foods, marinades, fatty broths, smoked foods, tea, coffee, mustard, carbonated drinks;
• products that cause gas formation - kvass, baked goods, cabbage, beer, legumes;
• all types of vegetables, citrus juices, alcoholic beverages, onions, garlic and ginger;
