Nutrition for gastric and duodenal ulcers during exacerbation and remission

Gastric and duodenal ulcers are a serious disease that requires a competent approach not only to treatment, but also to nutritional management. Persons suffering from peptic ulcer disease should adhere to a special gentle diet No. 1. The diet is especially important during an exacerbation period, when the load on the digestive organs should be minimal.

General principles of dietary nutrition

When organizing therapeutic nutrition, it is important to follow the principles of diet. Thanks to a balanced diet, you can significantly alleviate the course of the disease and speed up the process of entering stable remission.

The diet for patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers No. 1 is divided into table No. 1A (with severe exacerbation) and table No. 1B (as the patient’s condition improves). Diet 1B is prescribed after completion of a course of treatment using diet 1A.

General principles of the diet:

balance and adequate calorie content - patients with ulcers should not be fed low-calorie, monotonous food; food must be nutritious (at least 2500-3000 kcal per day), contain a sufficient amount of vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, fats;
fractional nutrition means eating food in small portions, the interval between them is at least 3 hours;
correct temperature regime - cold or hot food is strictly prohibited, especially during exacerbation of gastric ulcer, when the mucous membrane is inflamed;
restriction in salt consumption, up to complete refusal;
a complete ban on fried, fatty, smoked foods, alcohol and carbonated drinks;
avoidance of foods that can cause fermentation and increased gas formation;
compliance with the drinking regime - it is recommended to drink up to 2 liters of clean water per day (if there are no problems with the kidneys and thyroid gland);
mechanical and chemical sparing - products must be selected carefully to avoid irritating effects on the sore stomach;
zigzag nutrition involves training the gastrointestinal tract and is used during remission; the essence of the principle is the short-term introduction of forbidden food into the patient’s diet (in small volumes), followed by a return to dietary nutrition;
taking into account the time required to digest food is extremely important - adherence to the principle will allow food to be better absorbed without undue stress on the stomach.

Nutrition for patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers should be selected individually, taking into account weight and age, general condition, and taste preferences. Classic cooking options - boiling, stewing, steaming (multi-cooker, double boiler). Dietary nutrition is important to follow not only during an exacerbation, but also during remission.

Features of the diet during exacerbation of the disease

Diet for exacerbation of gastric and duodenal ulcers is an integral part of complex therapy. The ulcer worsens for various reasons - dietary errors, bad habits, stress and nervous shock - as a result, inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa occurs, pain develops, and the general condition worsens.

Compliance with diet No. 1A is aimed at maximally sparing the stomach and duodenum in terms of thermal, chemical, and mechanical effects. The diet helps smooth out the reflex excitability of the stomach and accelerate the scarring of ulcerative defects.

Diet No. 1A during the period of exacerbation of the disease is based on compliance with the rules:

calorie restriction, but not less than 2200 kcal per day;
limiting salt intake to 6 g per day;
the consistency of the food is only liquid, puree, thoroughly pureed;
food serving temperature - no more than 55°, no less than 15°.

The diet during an exacerbation of the disease is based on the consumption of mucous soups (ground), steam soufflés and omelettes, boiled eggs, jelly, steamed cottage cheese casseroles. Drinks allowed include sweet juices half diluted with water, weak tea, and infusion of rose hips.

Diet during remission

After achieving stable remission, the diet is significantly expanded. You can eat more high-calorie foods, including baked goods and sweets.

During the period of remission, which lasts more than a year, nutrition gradually approaches the standard diet of a healthy person.

But a number of restrictions must be observed:

there should be at least 4 meals per day;
overeating is unacceptable;
limitation in the daily dose of salt to 10 g;
alcohol, spicy and spicy foods, coffee are prohibited.

In remission with a duodenal ulcer, you can eat ripe bananas, strawberries, sour apples, and cherries.

But this can be done occasionally and only during a period of stable remission.

Nutrition is the key to a speedy recovery

When treating ulcers, the main goal is to relieve inflammation and restore the normal functioning of the damaged organ. Therefore, the diet for gastric and duodenal ulcers during the treatment period is aimed at lowering acid levels and normalizing the production of enzymes.

In addition, the regeneration of protective tissues and strengthening of weakened immunity depends on the amount of mineral elements and vitamins received by the body.

A special place in diets is occupied by products that help eliminate pain and physiological manifestations of pathology that are directly involved in the treatment of the disease:

Buckwheat (buckwheat flour) – heals ulcers, is a source of iron, contains B vitamins, strengthens blood vessels and mucous membranes.
Honey – neutralizes acids, relieves pain, relieves inflammation, increases hemoglobin levels, strengthens the immune system.
Sea buckthorn (oil) – regulates and normalizes metabolism, is an excellent analgesic and healing agent, contains vitamins and omega acids involved in cell restoration.
Walnuts (tincture) – walnut kernels contain lycine, which facilitates the absorption of proteins, as well as a large amount of vitamins and minerals that accelerate healing and recovery.
Potatoes (decoction) – reduces acidity, acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, helps get rid of nausea, vomiting, heartburn.
Cabbage (juice) - the substances included in its composition are involved in the restoration of mucous tissues and strengthen the immune system.

All ingredients used are baked, boiled, stewed. Many products are consumed in minimal quantities, and fruits and vegetables are pre-heat-treated.

Attention! One of the folk ways to combat the disease is a decoction of the peel of green walnuts. Traditional healers advise drinking one glass of this “medicine” on an empty stomach for two weeks.

Nutrition for a bleeding ulcer

For ulcer bleeding, a specialized diet is used. If indicated, the patient may receive parenteral nutrition until bleeding stops. After its cancellation, you are allowed to take 200 ml of liquid cold food per day. This can be milk, jelly, jelly, cream, after a while they add sour cream and raw eggs, slimy soups. As a result, the patient is transferred to Table No. 1A with expansion to the Table No. 1 option.

To combat anemia, a diet with a high protein content (140-150 g) is prescribed, while fats are somewhat limited (60-70 g). It is necessary to enrich the diet with iron, cobalt, copper, manganese, cyanocobalamin, so it is advisable to introduce dishes with liver and yeast. If you are feeling satisfactorily, after 1.5 months, unchopped food with the addition of fresh vegetables and fruits is allowed. Plums, apples and peaches can also be eaten ungrated.

Basic principles

Experts make the following dietary requirements:

high nutritional value of the diet;
a balanced diet, which should include proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals;
products should not irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa;
eating food at room temperature;
avoidance of foods that increase the secretion of gastric juice;
fractional meals in small portions;
eating mashed pureed food;
limiting table salt.

The most useful products

There are several products that can have a beneficial effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum in the presence of ulcers. This is low-fat pasteurized milk, honey and cabbage juice. The products gently envelop the stomach, reducing the aggressive influence of digestive juices, promote the healing of ulcers, and have a detrimental effect on Helicobacter pylori.

Milk must be included in the diet of people suffering from peptic ulcer. Regular consumption of milk helps ulcerative defects in the mucous membrane to heal faster and relieves attacks of pain.
Honey is no less useful. It should be eaten in small quantities, but daily. Honey is able to protect the walls of the stomach from increased secretion of hydrochloric acid, relieve acute inflammation, and relieve dyspeptic symptoms such as belching, heartburn, a feeling of heaviness and nausea.
Cabbage juice has a healing effect, helping to heal ulcers. This ability is due to the presence of a high content of vitamin U in freshly squeezed juice.

There should not be a long period of fasting during an ulcer - the feeling of hunger in combination with the natural production of hydrochloric acid negatively affects the walls of the stomach.

The following diet for one to two weeks during exacerbation of the pathology will be considered optimal:

eating 6-7 times a day;
portions are small;
complete exclusion of any fried, smoked, pickled, sweet, fatty foods;
food is served in crushed (puree) or liquid form, at moderate temperature.

At this time, it is necessary to adjust the dosage and combination of medications and update the menu.

Products that have a healing effect

There are three products available that have a healing effect.

Fresh potato juice. A simple superfood that can be used for healing. It has regenerating, wound-healing, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Potato juice also destroys pathogenic flora that is present in the stomach. Prepare juice from fresh, high-quality potatoes and drink immediately. Take outside the period of exacerbation, half an hour before meals, for 3 weeks in a row. Volume: start with a few spoons, increase to 150 ml per day. It is better to take it diluted with water, 1:1.
Low fat milk. Envelops the walls of the stomach, protects the organ from the aggressive effects of foods and gastric juice, accelerates the regeneration process, dulls or even relieves pain.
Honey. You can eat honey in small quantities every day: the product is rich in microelements, vitamins, and has a beneficial effect on the entire gastrointestinal tract. As for the ulcerative process, honey helps relieve inflammation, reduces secretion, neutralizes the effect of hydrochloric acid, and relieves pain. Honey reduces nausea and heartburn inherent in the disease, and increases the level of hemoglobin in the blood.
Fresh cabbage juice. Contains a stable form of ascorbic acid and anti-ulcer vitamin U. The juice has been proven to be effective in accelerating wound scarring and against Helicobacter pylory.

They can be included in the list of dishes, the only caveat is about cabbage juice: you can drink it freshly prepared, diluted with water (1:1), no more than 100 ml at a time, 2-3 times a day. The most important thing is only during the period of remission!

Diet rules

To scar an ulcer, you need a large amount of nutrients and vitamins, this is especially important when bleeding, so fasting is contraindicated. Only in case of a bleeding ulcer and after surgery, you should abstain and not eat for the first two days until the attending physician allows it. Then you need to eat regularly, often, and the caloric content of the daily menu should be 2800–3000 calories.

When creating a menu for a stomach ulcer for one day or a week, consider not only the quantity and calorie content of foods, but also the ratio of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Food should be mostly protein with a minimum content of fat and fiber. In the acute period, it is recommended to reduce the proportion of carbohydrates, as they stimulate gastric motility and can cause pain.

To replenish the body's need for vitamins and microelements, fresh juices of vegetables and fruits will be useful. For example, cabbage, even boiled, is contraindicated for patients with ulcers, but fresh cabbage juice is useful because it contains vitamins C and U. A patient with an ulcer needs to drink milk every day or include it in the menu in the form of porridges and milk soups. Don’t forget about bee products (honey, propolis) that help improve immunity and heal the mucous membrane.

Option 2 – when symptoms subside

What to eat if you have a stomach ulcer during remission? The following daily menu is suitable for this:

Breakfast: steamed omelette, rice porridge, fruit puree, rosehip drink.
Second breakfast: fruit jelly.
Lunch: milk oatmeal soup, meatballs, berry jelly.
Afternoon snack: crackers, apple drink.
Dinner: fish balls, buckwheat porridge, jelly.
Before bed: 1 glass of milk.

This diet is suitable for those patients who have pain, nausea, vomiting, and heartburn. The menu can be prescribed to people on bed rest.

pain in the lower abdomen;
frequent belching;
nausea;
heartburn.

Lack of or delayed treatment will lead to complications that are dangerous to humans. During therapy, it is recommended to adhere to a special diet. The patient's diet should contain only those foods that stimulate the secretion of juice in the stomach. Dishes from the menu help protect the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract from mechanical or thermal damage. Patients are advised to eat food at room temperature, always in processed form.

The diets used for exacerbations of gastric and duodenal ulcers are dominated by:

milk products;
porridge;
vegetable soups;
chicken or turkey that has undergone culinary processing - boiled or steamed.

It will take at least 10-12 days to stick to this diet. The menu is based on the following principles:

Nutrition for ulcerative pathologies is fractional, in small portions. A day from 4 to 5 times.
When preparing a diet, preference is given to low-calorie dishes.
Products are boiled or steamed. Afterwards, the food is crushed or passed through a blender or meat grinder.
The consistency of the dishes should resemble liquid porridge or soup.
Preference is given to food at room temperature.
