Diet for gastritis of the stomach: daily menu

Inflammation of the stomach lining is uncomfortable and painful.

In addition to drug therapy, a diet for gastritis is of great importance - the “right” foods do not irritate the walls, promote epithelial regeneration and maintain remission of the disease.

What to eat for gastritis

There are many reasons why gastritis develops:

• Poor diet, with a predominance of dry, spicy and hot foods;
• Unbalanced diets;
• Abuse of alcoholic beverages, sodas;
• Taking certain medicines that irritate the lining of the stomach

Before we talk about what you can eat with gastritis and what you should refuse, you need to learn some basic diet assumptions:

1. Meals should be regular. You should not take long breaks between meals, miss lunch or afternoon tea for any reason should not be replaced by a "double" dinner;
2. For gastritis, fractional meals are indicated - in small portions at short intervals;
3. If possible, do not mix solid and liquid foods; the first courses must be separated from the second courses. Dishes with a liquid or mash consistency are the easiest to digest;
4. The temperature of the food should not be too high or too low, hot food is absorbed optimally and does not irritate the stomach;
5. The use of table salt should be kept to a minimum, and seasonings and spices should 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;
