Gastroduodenitis is an unpleasant diagnosis, but it is not yet an ulcer or even gastritis. Pathology is characterized by an inflammatory process on the mucous membrane. The most common symptoms include nausea, a persistent feeling of fullness in the stomach, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Constipation or, on the contrary, diarrhea may appear. The patient feels general weakness, headache and even severe pallor of the skin may appear.
Allocate primary and secondary forms, according to the level of acidity. The erosive form is allocated to a separate group, as it is accompanied by multiple small ulcers on the mucous membrane. Most often, it is this form that becomes a provocateur of the onset of peptic ulcer disease.
There is a huge list of provoking factors, from high acidity to biliary tract diseases. However, there are also etiological provocateurs, that is, a passion for very cold or spicy food. Even the bacterium Helicobacter pylori can provoke the disease . Pathology is also dangerous because it is very often accompanied by other diseases of the digestive tract.
In addition to drug treatment, in order to successfully get rid of gastroduodenitis, you will need to follow a diet that can last up to 2 months, depending on the patient’s condition and the changes occurring.
General rules
Treatment of this type of disease is long-term and takes place in several stages. In addition to medication, it is very important to adhere to the recommended diet. Of no small importance is the daily routine and the absence of emotional overload. In no case should you self-medicate.
One of the basic rules of nutrition during gastroduodenitis is that it is unacceptable to eat foods that are too hot or cold, everything should be at room temperature. Failure to comply with this rule can significantly reduce the effectiveness of even correctly selected drugs.
It is necessary to eat 6 times throughout the day and always in small portions, chewing food well. This approach will completely eliminate the feeling of hunger and normalize the digestive process, stabilize metabolic processes. A complete ban is imposed on any spicy food. The first course must be present on the daily menu. You can not overeat, no drinks with gas and alcohol. The same rule applies to fried foods. Do not eat vegetables with a coarse structure and fibrous fruits. You will have to completely abandon snacks on the go.
Varieties
There are several dietary variations in the treatment of gastroduodenitis:
- diet number 1 is prescribed during remission, it is indicated for normal and high acidity;
- diet number 1A, is prescribed during an exacerbation;
- after the symptoms of exacerbation have been removed, diet No. 1B is prescribed, that is, the patient switches to it after diet table No. 1A;
- diet number 2 is indicated during the treatment of a disease with low acidity and at the stage of remission.
During the improvement of the condition, the patient is prescribed diet No. 15. According to Pevzner, this table is not much different from the diet of an ordinary person, but you will still have to eat fractionally, that is, 6 times throughout the day.
Indications
Depending on the type of disease, dietary food has its own characteristics. If we are talking about superficial gastroduodenitis, then the diet focuses on dairy products, and fruits and vegetables are allowed to be consumed exclusively in boiled form. The medical menu is designed for 3 months.
If the patient’s illness is accompanied by low acidity, then the number of meals is reduced by up to 4 times. This makes it possible not to further stimulate the secretion of the stomach.
During an exacerbation, all products are frayed to a mushy state. With the atrophic type, solid and liquid food is divided, that is, in one meal you can eat grated porridge, and in the other – meat. All products should have a low fat percentage.
In the presence of erosion on the mucous membrane, all food should be as gentle as possible. We’ll have to completely abandon salt and any spices, seasonings for a while. In no case should you go to bed immediately after a meal. It is forbidden to wear any dragging things and belts.
