Diet for ulcers: recipes and sample menu for a week

Diet for ulcers accelerates the recovery of the stomach lining. With its help, the effectiveness of treatment also increases, recurrence of inflammatory processes in organs and complications of the disease can be prevented. What diet is needed for stomach ulcers?

Since the pathology can be acute, chronic, several stages, and patients have different levels of acidity, therapeutic nutrition is also different.

Basic rules for food consumption

For stomach ulcers, the diet can be strict, gentle and preventive (daily during remission). The type of nutrition is selected according to the form and stage of the existing disease, as well as related pathologies (diabetes, heart attack, obesity, and so on). The treatment table for gastritis and other diseases was developed in 1929. Currently, in connection with the results of new research, the dietary system has been slightly supplemented, and some products have been excluded because their production does not meet GOST standards.

What therapeutic nutrition is used for gastritis:

1. Table No. 1. Prescribed for gastritis with normal and high acidity in the weakening phase, and in the case of acute gastritis - during the recovery phase. Also used for gastric and duodenal ulcers.
2. Table No. 1-a. Used for acute gastritis or acute exacerbation of chronic gastritis. Also used for ulcers and burns of the esophagus.
3. Table No. 1-b. Prescribed for gastritis and ulcers during the weakening process.
4. Table No. 2. Used for chronic and acute forms of gastritis with low acidity after the exacerbation has been eliminated. It is also used for intestinal pathologies.
5. Table No. 5. Prescribed at the recovery stage for acute gastritis accompanied by cholecystitis. This diet is also used for liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.
6. Optimal food choices (ATS). A balanced diet for ulcer sufferers is based on a tableNo. 1─1-вand used in everyday life to prevent recurrence.

If there are concomitant pathologies, then it is recommended to select foods for the diet with the help of a doctor. He will prepare the foodon the table, which is based on a diet for ulcers, but with adjustments for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, other internal organs, metabolic disorders and hormonal system disorders.

Rules for eating food for ulcers

Proper nutrition for stomach ulcers consists of observing principles such as food processing technology, method, frequency, selection of products and calorie content, control of food temperature, duration of use. They should be followed not only during treatment, but also at home to avoid re-inflammation of the stomach lining.

Food Processing Technology

For all types of diseases such as ulcers, the diet should includeboiled,passive,steam,baked in foilorplate arm. During an exacerbation of ulcers, food (all foods) should be mashed to a puree state. It is forbidden to fry food until crispy.

If you suffer from stomach ulcers, you should not use breadcrumbs or flour before frying. During the cooking process, they form a rough crust on food, which, if it enters the digestive tract, is difficult to digest and can increase inflammation and pain.

Mode and frequency

How to eat with an ulcer? In case of pathology of the gastrointestinal tract and other digestive organs, separate meals should be prescribed so as not to overload the stomach with large amounts of food. Therefore, the entire daily ration is divided into5─6 times: 2 breakfasts (morning, lunch), lunch, dinner, snack (afternoon snack, before bed).

Diet for gastritis involves consuming high-quality foods that are properly prepared at a certain time of the day. A person needs to eat small portions according to a predetermined schedule. This allows the stomach to work gently, and the body receives all the necessary substances at the right time.

Selection of products and calories for ulcers

The energy value of the treatment table is designed for patients in hospitals or sanatoriums. Therefore, in everyday life, when a person needs to work and move a lot, he needs to adjust the calorie content of his food in accordance with his physical needs.

Control food temperature

Food for all types of ulcers should not be too hot or cold. For the stomach to function properly, the optimal food temperature is36─37 °C,and acceptable – from15°C to 60°C.Cold food is difficult to remove from the organ, thereby overloading the antrum and causing a feeling of heaviness, and food that is too hot burns the inflamed mucosa, so sores can appear.

Duration of use of therapeutic nutrition

How long does the diet for ulcers last? This directly depends on the type of pathology, the degree of membrane damage and the speed of recovery. Therefore, the duration of the diet is determined by the doctor. Usually a strict diet lasts 5-7 days, a soft diet lasts up to 21 days. The use of therapeutic nutrition for preventive purposes can last up to 2-4 months. If a patient is diagnosed with an atrophic type of stomach disease, he will most likely have to follow a lifelong diet.

Diet therapy for high acidity and ulcers

Diet food for gastritis and stomach ulcers is selected on the basis of products that do not cause an increase in secretory secretion, but help relieve inflammation and heal the mucous membrane.

If you have high acidity, it is recommended to drink fresh potato juice every month for 7 days. Drink 125 ml on an empty stomach before first breakfast, then eat 60 minutes later.

What to eat for stomach ulcers with acidity above normal:

• boiled dietary meat (chicken, rabbit, beef);
• lean steamed fish fillet;
• vegetable puree with the addition of butter (ghee, butter);
• steamed protein omelet, boiled eggs;
• milk, fermented baked milk, cream;
• sweet baked fruits;
• milk jelly, jelly;
• biscuits.

Among cereals, it is recommended to consume more buckwheat, and among dairy products, it is better to choose products made from goat's milk. All these dishes delay secretions and prevent heartburn.

Nutrition for gastric insufficiency and ulcers

The diet for stomach ulcers with acidity below normal should include bitter tastes that stimulate the formation of juice and cause appetite. However, when you relapse, you should not eat lots of fiber-rich vegetables and fruit.

What diet to follow for ulcers with low acidity:

• allowed to consume more meat and fish dishes, broths;
• You can eat wet herring, fried or baked cutlets, vegetables;
• Finely chopped greens and salted cucumbers are added to the diet;
• drink vegetable and multifruit juices, herbal stomach teas;
• diluted boiled milk (drink whole milk only if well tolerated).

Gastric secretion improves if food intake begins with salad. During exacerbations, it is recommended to drink heated white cabbage juice. Drink 125 ml three times a day 60 minutes before meals.

Diet for acute development of ulcers

The list of foods eaten for stomach ulcers during the period of intensive progressive disease is boiled liquid porridge and low-calorie foods. As the tissue recovers, grated heat-treated vegetables, ground meat and porridge are gradually added to the menu. When this can be done, the attending doctor will tell you. During an exacerbation of chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane, the principles of nutrition are the same.

A strict diet for ulcers with acute symptoms occurs in stages:

1. Initially, complete daily fasting is indicated. You can drink warm boiled water (1 tablespoon every 5-15 minutes until thirst disappears).
2. After 24 hours, the strict diet for ulcer sufferers is supplemented with oatmeal soup (mucus), herbal tea (gastric infusion), rosehip decoction and non-concentrated chicken broth.
3. On the 3rd day, semolina milk and/or grated rice porridge, jelly, sweet compote and low-fat milk are added to the menu.
4. After eliminating the pain syndrome and other symptoms of acute pathology, white crackers, steamed fish, omelettes and meatballs are added to the diet for gastritis.

As the inflammation subsides, grated foods are introduced into the menu, and then the patient is transferred to a gentle diet. Usually, table No. 1-b is assigned first, then No. 1.

Nutrition in the weakening phase of the ulcer

A sparing diet for gastritis is prescribed in cases of mild pathology, as well as after eliminating acute symptoms. The menu should consist only of properly prepared and easily digestible dishes, but there should be a complete diet.

How to eat properly for ulcer sufferers every day with a gentle diet:

• energy value of food – 2200-2900 kcal;
• salt – 6 grams;
• animal and vegetable fats – from 75 to 100 g;
• protein – 85-100 grams;
• carbohydrates – 250-400 g;
• free liquid - 1-1. 5 l.

You can't stop dieting or stop consuming soup. A gentle diet for gastritis of the stomach does not contain products that mechanically overload the organ or irritate the mucous membrane (coarse foods, uncut meat, raw berries, etc. ).

Approximate daily diet for chronic ulcers in the acute phase or acute ulcers after the attack has disappeared:
