What can you eat with a stomach ulcer?This is one of the first questions the patient asks with such a diagnosis. For a long time it was believed that the ulcer is triggered by errors in diet and nervous overstrain. Today, doctors have become increasingly inclined to believe that the main thing is to create adequate conditions for scarring of the ulcer, but if the healing process has started, then it is not necessary to follow the dietary regime. But this is only the opinion of a few doctors.
Diet for gastritis and ulcers should primarily promote the healing of the wound surface. This can be done by increasing the calorie intake, mainly due to protein.
Be sure to turn on products containing vitamins A, C and B. This will help maintain the body at the proper level and activate all metabolic processes.
Fish, meat and seafood are the main suppliersamino acids into the human body. Without these products, normal functioning of organs and systems is impossible. However, it should be borne in mind that a diet with an ulcer should be benign. Therefore, it is necessary to cook food for a couple (or cook), while it is best to heat it a little longer than usual.
The ulcer diet is based on deliveringthe body as much nutrients as possible, but the digestion process should take place with minimal trauma. To do this, patients are recommended to divide the entire daily diet ration not into 3 main meals, but 5-6. In between, you can drink a glass of kefir or jelly.
Patients with peptic ulcer should noteat too hot or cold food, and also it is desirable to refuse too salty, smoked and canned food. Alcohol and carbonated beverages (including alcoholic) are very irritating to the mucous membrane. Due to these circumstances, a diet for an ulcer should categorically exclude the above products.
Instead, patients are recommended to drink more milk and kefir - these drinks create a protective layer on the mucous membrane, have anti-acid properties.
Patients with peptic ulcer and gastritis oftenthey themselves know which products provoke an attack of pain and dyspeptic symptoms, and try to limit their intake. For example, statistics indicate that most patients with an ulcer practically do not tolerate lemon and its juice (and many other acidic foods). This is due to a violation of acidity in the stomach when using these products.
Many patients tolerate white and red wines, but cannot drink champagne and beer. Very often, exacerbation of pain is provoked by chips, nuts, pistachios and other similar products.
The use of large quantities of mayonnaise andKetchup, even in a healthy person, causes discomfort in the stomach, and with an ulcer this guarantees aggravation. A diet with an ulcer should completely eliminate too fatty and rich broths and soups. A large amount of food in one meal is unacceptable.
Correctly evaluate all the recommendations of the doctor.Too tight diets must be adhered to during the exacerbation period, until the healing process has begun. Then you can afford some not very healthy food.
