Diet for gastritis: what can and cannot be eaten?
Gastritis is one of the most common diseases of our time. Frequent snacks and meals on the run, a wide variety of fast food, poisoning from substandard food - all of these can cause gastritis. This is probably why many people are now suffering from stomach problems. But how do you deal with them?
To do this, it is not necessary at all to constantly take drugs, the main thing in treatment is the correct and selected diet that does not cause irritation of the mucous membrane and exacerbation of the disease, but at the same time saturates the body with all the necessary macronutrients and vitamins.
Basic rules
The main task of the diet in gastritis is to follow a diet that ensures normal digestion. The treatment table for gastritis (per day) should include:
- 90-100gr. Squirrels (and 60% animals),
- 50-80gr. Fat (75% animals)
- 300-320gr. Carbohydrates.
Diet rules for gastritis:
- Getting to know measure. In the case of gastritis, the saying "After eating a slight feeling of hunger" is more relevant than ever. Firstly, the feeling of fullness does not appear until 10-15 minutes after eating, and secondly, an overflowing stomach does not cope well with its functions, especially in gastritis.
- Diet. First of all, you should track food intake (at the same time). Second, in gastritis, food should be fractionated, 4-5 times a day, but at the same time it is necessary to refuse snacks (they provoke "excess" secretion of gastric juice and reduce its production during breakfast / lunch / dinner, which processes theProcessing and intake of food violated). You should categorically exclude reading while eating, watching TV and "running on the go".
- Rest after eating. After each meal, you need to rest for 15-20 minutes (it is not necessary to sleep). You can read a book or listen to music.
- Chew food. Chewing food for longer (at least 25-30 seconds for each piece) contributes to more thorough mechanical processing of the food, which makes the work of a sick stomach easier. In addition, hunger is satisfied faster in this case (which prevents overeating). Refusal of complex courts
The total energy value should be 2200-2800 kcal.
High acid diet
In this form of gastritis, a diet is recommended that aims to protect the stomach thermally and mechanically and to reduce gastric secretion.
Allowed products:
- Casseroles, cheesecakes, dumplings, oven-baked cheesecakes;
- Milk, in particular with tea, all types of fermented milk products, including yoghurt and yoghurt, fresh cottage cheese puree;
- fish, meat or chicken soups cooked in cereal broth;
- dry white crackers, vegetables and butter, milk soups with cereals or pasta;
- steamed omelets, pouched eggs, vegetable dishes in the form of mashed potatoes, pudding, soufflés, weak tea, sweet fruits and berries in jelly, creams and compotes;
- Veal, lean beef, chicken in the form of meatballs, pudding, zraz, steamed cutlets (1-2 times a week, lean cooked meat can be eaten in pieces).
Prohibited products:
- fatty mushroom and meat broths;
- Carbonated beverages;
- smoked meat with spices;
- Raw vegetables, pickles, pickles, flavorful vegetable snacks, lemon juice;
- Black bread.
The purpose of the diet is to aggravate high acid gastritis in order to normalize bowel and stomach function and limit thermal, chemical and mechanical stimuli.
Low acid diet
The purpose of the low-acid gastritis diet is to stimulate the production of gastric juice (in moderation) as well as the mechanical protection of the stomach.
Prohibited foods in hypoacid gastritis:
- Restriction of pearl barley, legumes, millet;
- fresh bread, baked goods ("heavy" food for the stomach, makes chemical and mechanical processing difficult);
- fatty and salted fish;
- Vegetables and fruits with coarse fiber (white cabbage, beets, radishes, cucumbers, peppers), mushrooms;
- fatty meat, meat with fascia (foils), canned food, smoked meat (insufficient mechanical processing of food, excessive release of hydrochloric acid);
- spicy and salty cheeses, milk - neutralizes hydrochloric acid;
- berries with grains or thick skin (raspberries, strawberries, red currants, gooseberries, figs);
- Spices and herbs (irritate the gastric mucosa), as well as chocolate, grape juice, alcohol;
- Lard and fat from pork, beef, lamb (not absorbed due to low hydrochloric acid production, products that are difficult to digest).
Food intake should take place after the onset of hydrochloric acid secretion, that is, in the first phase (advertising or programs about food, beautiful pictures of food, "tasty" conversations can provoke the release of gastric juice).
Diet for gastritis in the acute stage
Particular attention should be paid to nutrition with gastritis in the acute stage. The requirements for products are the same as for all types of this pathology, but more stringent.
In the acute form of the disease, it is recommended:
- low-fat cottage cheese;
- yesterday's white bread and no pastries or muffins;
- lean meat only, boiled and mashed or finely chopped;
- Soups exclusively on vegetable broths;
- acid-free compotes and jelly;
- soft-boiled eggs or in the form of a steam omelette;
- Vegetable purees from the range of baby food, it is also good to borrow fish and meat purees from a jar from babies;
- Teas or infusions without sugar.
During the period of immediate exacerbation from the menu they are completely excluded:
- Products with preservatives, flavor enhancers, artificial colors;
- raw vegetables and fruits;
- Milk and milk dishes;
- all kinds of pastries except yesterday's bread;
- Margarine, edible oil and butter;
- Pearl barley;
- all kinds of beans and beans.
In addition, any general restrictions on the products themselves and the methods of making them remain in place. Usually the crisis passes in 3-4 days, then according to the general recommendations for patients with gastritis, the diet becomes more varied.

Can I . . .?
What is allowed and what is not? List of staple foods and drinks.
- Fish - only low-fat species of marine fish such as saithe, cod, hake. Among the river fish, pikeperch and pike are the best. It is better to completely refuse canned fish and fried fish, during their production all the useful properties of fish are lost, and a lot of spices and preservatives, carcinogens can be more than recovered. As with meat, it's best to steam the fish to limit the seasoning.
- Coffee - It is absolutely impossible to drink black coffee with gastritis on an empty stomach, even in large quantities, especially if you have elevated stomach acid. If the acid content is low, coffee or cocoa with milk is allowed, but only in limited quantities.
- Meat - you can eat with gastritis, but only low-fat varieties - beef, veal, chicken, rabbit. Steam chops are especially useful for gastritis as the meat is finely chopped and steamed. If it is only steamed meat, it should be chewed very carefully and not overworked, as every meat product is a burden on the stomach. Of course, neither smoked nor uncooked smoked sausages and sausages can be used for gastritis.
- Cheese - spicy or too salty cheeses are not allowed with any gastritis, even ordinary hard cheese should be eaten in small slices in limited quantities.
- Bananas - Can Bananas Be Used For Gastritis? This is a healthy fruit that is low in fiber, soft, easy to digest, and high in nutrients that the body needs. And although Diet No. 5 prohibits fruits like dates and bananas, many gastroenterologists believe that their moderate consumption cannot harm, and bananas should and can be eaten with gastritis.
- Watermelon is something to eat with gastritis, but very little. For each acid, you can only eat 1-2 slices.
- Melon is almost the hardest plant product not only for the stomach, but also for the pancreas and gallbladder. The digestive tract of a perfectly healthy person has a hard time with melon, so anyone suffering from gastritis should avoid such a dubious product.
- Chocolate - it is better to abandon this product entirely.
- Nuts, seeds, legumes - Nuts should not be used for gastritis, the same applies to seeds and legumes.
- Honey can be used because it has wound healing properties and is considered an enriched and useful product. All is well in moderation, however, especially since many people may be allergic to bee products.
