Diet dishes for the intestines recipes. Dietary nutrition for diseases of the stomach and intestines: menu for the week

Pathologies of the stomach, esophagus and intestines occupy a leading place in the list of the most common diseases of our time. And, in most cases, people themselves become the sources of problems.

The likelihood of getting a dangerous gastrointestinal disease increases many times with non-compliance with the diet and the wrong lifestyle.

Often, doctors, having determined the type of ailment, prescribe a gentle type of therapy, and at the first stages recommend streamlining their menu, abandoning products that irritate the mucous membrane of the stomach or esophagus. How effective is this diet?

Possibilities of a therapeutic diet and the main postulates of a healthy diet

A specialized specialist should be involved in compiling a menu for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This is the basic rule of therapeutic nutrition. In order for a change in diet to bring only benefit, it is necessary to take into account a huge number of different factors and individual characteristics of the body. So, for example, fasting is useful for gastritis, but with peptic ulcer, this approach can aggravate the situation.

Fundamentals of therapeutic nutrition in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract:

• do not overeat (for increased sensitivity of the stomach, it is better to eat often, but in small portions);
• dry food is prohibited (solid food lingers in the body and causes complications);
• the diet is compiled taking into account the necessary energy for normal life (a strict diet will worsen immunity);
• when cooking, it is better to give preference to cooking or heat treatment with steam (during frying, a large amount of harmful substances are released).

It is very important to refuse bad habits. Alcohol abuse, smoking and, moreover, drugs destroy our body much faster than time. Often, the internal organs of young people with dangerous addictions are in worst condition than the body of sports retirees.

In order for therapeutic nutrition for the gastrointestinal tract to bring positive results, it must be combined with drug treatment, sports and preventive methods. Despite the fact that the healing diet is aimed at a specific source, the root cause of the problems, there are a number of tips that help with all diseases.

1. Eat slowly, chewing your food thoroughly. It has been proven that a finely ground product is easier to digest and does not provoke an inflammatory process.
2. Exclude from the menu drinks that have a strong tonic effect. Coffee, strong tea, energy drinks, sweet sparkling water harm the intestines and esophagus.
3. Control the temperature of your food. With negative changes in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, the food must be warm.
4. Limit herbs and spices. Very often, pepper, vinegar, mustard become catalysts for pathological changes. Try to replace spicy seasonings with herbs, bay leaves, cumin.
5. Give up fat for a while. Usually, doctors advise leaving only vegetable and butter.

Allowed and prohibited foods for pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract

No need to think that a therapeutic diet is only restrictions and tasteless food. In fact, even with diseases of the internal organs, you can eat varied and enjoy food.

For the first recommended soups made from various kinds cereals (semolina, rice, oatmeal), vegetables (carrots, potatoes, celery), lean meats (chicken, veal, beef) or seafood. The main thing is that all the ingredients are thoroughly crushed.

Second courses are best prepared from boiled potatoes, rice, pasta (home-made). Stewed vegetables, boiled meat (young lean pork, lamb) or fish fillet (perch, carp) are served with the side dish.

Separately, it is necessary to mention dairy products. Before adding them to your diet, you should definitely consult with your doctor, as the fermented milk environment is ideal for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. But with peptic ulcers or chronically hyperacidity, such nutrients are very useful. You can expand the menu with sour cream, low-fat cream, cottage cheese, kefir.

Medical nutrition for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract rarely includes fresh vegetables and fruits. Usually they are included in the daily regimen in the form of juices, compotes, mousses. Jams, jams and jams are also useful.

The diet for the intestines and stomach consists in limiting certain products that can negatively affect the mucous membrane of the digestive system. Diet therapy is an important part of the treatment of all gastroenterological diseases, but most often doctors prescribe a special diet for acute form gastritis. There are other indications, for example, gastric dyspepsia, gastric ulcer, dysbacteriosis and others. The treatment of all these pathologies has one thing in common - the need to follow a special diet.

The gastrointestinal tract (or gastrointestinal tract) consists of various organs that are involved in the breakdown and digestion of food. The normal functioning of this complex system ensures that the body is nourished with useful substances that spread throughout the body when they enter the circulatory system. But this system often fails as a result of the development of various diseases.

Consider the most common pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract that a person has to face:

• fermentopathy (pathological disruption of enzymes in the body);
• dysbacteriosis;
• chronic form of enterocolitis or colitis (inflammation of the intestine);
• cholecystitis (damage to the gallbladder);
• various forms of hepatitis;
• esophagitis or the development of an inflammatory process in the esophagus;
• duodenal ulcer and stomach ulcer;
• gastritis.

Now consider the main causal factors contributing to the development of gastrointestinal pathologies:

On a note! The diet should be chosen according to individually for each patient. When drawing up, the physician should take into account various factors, for example, the age and condition of the patient, the presence of allergies to any products.

Regardless of the type of disease, any therapeutic diet should be in compliance with the following recommendations:

Compliance with the right diet will help get rid of existing problems with the organs of the digestive system or prevent their occurrence in the future. As a rule, such a diet is prescribed as an addition to traditional methods of treatment, but its effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Allowed and prohibited products

With the peculiarities of nutrition in various diseases of the digestive system, everything is clear. Now consider the list of allowed products recommended by doctors:

• herbal and berry decoctions (from wild rose, currant, raspberry, etc.);
• apples, chopped in a blender or grated;
• fruit jelly;
• rice, oatmeal or buckwheat porridge, necessarily pureed;
• low-fat cottage cheese;
• low-fat varieties of fish and meat, steamed;
• wheat crackers;
• various vegetable broths;
• soups with fish or meat. If desired, you can add a little semolina or rice.

You don't have to eat all of these foods every day. Just make sure you have 2 or 3 of them in your daily diet. But in the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, it is also necessary to exclude from the diet certain foods that negatively affect the mucous membrane of the digestive organs. Prohibited products include the following:

• fast food;
• sweet carbonated drinks;
• tea and coffee (strong);
• fatty foods;
• dairy products with a high fat content;
• fatty varieties of fish and meat;
• smoked, spicy or fatty foods.

In order not to harm your body with ordinary products that you buy daily in stores, when choosing, you need to carefully study their composition. Make sure that the products you eat do not contain the following ingredients:

• chemical additives;
• preservatives;
• thickeners and stabilizers;
• flavors;
• food coloring (unfortunately, most of products contain them, so it is quite difficult to find quality products without dyes).

On a note! In the treatment of prolonged constipation, additional products with a slight laxative effect are introduced into the patient's diet. Products that stimulate peristalsis include tangerines, prunes, grapes, etc.

Application of spices and herbs

In the treatment of various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, medicinal herbs are also used. They are able to supplement the diet. The most effective herbs for relieving digestive symptoms include clover, ginger, dandelion, chamomile, and other herbs. Let's consider some of them.

Prevention measures

It is much easier to prevent stomach or intestinal problems than to cure them. The most important step in the prevention of digestive problems is nutrition, but in this case, the diet will not be as strict as in the treatment of an already existing pathology. You just need to give up bad habits that negatively affect the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. First of all, it concerns alcohol abuse and smoking. Cigarette smoke not only impairs the functioning of the respiratory system, it also adversely affects the condition of the human oral cavity and causes various gastroenterological diseases.

Important! Regular consumption of too spicy and spicy food will not lead to anything good. Such food will cause irritation of the mucous membrane of the digestive system, which can result in various pathological conditions for a person.

Take enough time to rest. It is no secret that various disorders of the gastrointestinal tract occur against the background of severe exhaustion and fatigue of the body. Therefore, if you work at a stressful job, change it. Only proper nutrition, combined with enough sleep, will prevent the development of many health problems.

If this does happen and you have severe abdominal pain, in no case do not self-medicate. Even if a certain remedy helped your friend, it does not mean that it will help you too. In addition, self-medication can only aggravate an already difficult situation. The best scenario in this case is to call a doctor when pain or other unpleasant symptoms appear that indicate gastrointestinal pathology. You can try to relieve the symptoms before the doctor arrives with a warm towel applied to the abdomen. This will reduce or completely reduce spasms.

In order not to encounter diseases in the future or to encounter them much less often, it is necessary to regularly visit the doctor's office for a preventive examination. Such procedures will help to identify a possible violation at an early stage of development, which will greatly facilitate the treatment process. It is necessary to visit a gastroenterologist and other doctors (dentist, cardiologist, etc.) even if you do not have any health problems.

A diet for the stomach is a system of nutritional rules recommended for the pathology of this digestive organ.

When is a Stomach Diet Necessary?

Most often about proper nutrition and a diet for the stomach, people begin to think when problems arise. The first signs of trouble are usually: heaviness in the abdomen, heartburn, pain or sour belching. The pain is more severe after sour, spicy, too salty and fatty foods. In this case, we are talking about gastritis with high acidity - a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa, in which the digestive glands produce hydrochloric acid in excess.

Such symptoms should not be left unattended, as a neglected disease passes into a more severe phase or even into a stomach ulcer. The doctor may prescribe additional examinations and medications for the treatment of gastritis, but the diet for the stomach plays perhaps the most important role in recovery. Without a diet for the stomach, gastritis will constantly worsen, which sooner or later will lead to complications.

General principles of diet with high acidity

With increased acidity of gastric juice, you should very carefully and thoughtfully select dishes for the diet. They should not cause excessive stimulation of the digestive glands. During the period of exacerbation, it is recommended to regularly prepare soups, mashed potatoes, as well as soups on a mucous basis.

Diet for the stomach excludes dishes such as:

• Strong rich meat broths;
• mushroom broth;
• Fried meat, vegetables;
• pickles;
• Marinades;
• Hot and spicy seasonings.

You can not salt food too much, at the same time, sugar does not pose much harm to the stomach.

A diet for the stomach should primarily include vegetables with a low fiber content, since they require less digestive juices to digest. With an exacerbation, vegetables such as:

• Potato;
• Swede;
• Carrot;
• Cauliflower.

It is better to use boiled or steamed vegetables, finely grated. Sorrel, cabbage, radish, beets are not recommended.

From fruits on a diet with acidity, it is better to choose non-acidic species, as well as those that are easily and quickly digested. They are easier to digest if they are served baked or boiled (mashed potatoes, mousse).

A diet with acidity may include various cereals boiled in water or milk. During an exacerbation of gastritis, it is better to make them pureed. Mucous consistency of porridge acts on the inflamed gastric mucosa softening and enveloping. It is useful to include cottage cheese, eggs, milk in the diet for the stomach.

When choosing meat or fish for a diet with high acidity, you should focus on low-fat varieties. Although fat does not directly affect hydrochloric acid production, foods high in fat stay longer in the stomach, slowing down digestion and causing overactive digestive glands. It is better to completely exclude animal fats on a diet for the stomach, but you can add 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil per day to food.

The most suitable drinks on a diet with acidity will be compotes from dried or non-acidic fresh fruits, weak tea, plain water. Kissel is especially worth noting from drinks - it well envelops the gastric mucosa and reduces abdominal pain. Alkaline mineral waters without gas can also have a therapeutic effect. It is forbidden to drink coffee and any carbonated drinks with increased acidity. Immediately after eating and especially during it, it is better not to drink, but to do it 1-1.5 hours after eating.

Diet for the stomach regulates the frequency of food intake. It is better to eat fractionally and often - 5-6 times a day, and proportionally reduce portion sizes. You should never skip breakfast, it is very important for stomach health. It is better not to eat protein foods at the same time as carbohydrate-rich foods.

This diet is completely safe and effective if all recommendations are followed.

This diet is considered very effective in bowel disease with constipation, as it acts to create the necessary conditions for:
