Nutrition for diseases of the biliary tract

Nutrition for acute and chronic form of cholecystitis is somewhat different. At an exacerbation the food should be as much as possible easy and sparing, not having a big loading on work of digestive system. The first day should be excluded from food, completely switching to herbal teas: chamomile, dog rose, currant, linden. The next day may use mucous soups and mashed cereals, loose broths with the addition of rice, oatmeal, barley or wheat cereals.

The medical table with cholecystitis is recommended at number 5.

Chronic cholecystitis outside the stage of exacerbation involves eating foods that help improve the separation of bile and lower cholesterol. Absolutely exclude sugar from food, introduce a sufficient amount of fiber. In acute periods, they switch to food, reminiscent of a fasting day: it can be kefir, rice, watermelon day.

To improve the flow of bile, food should become frequent, but uninvolved, the so-called fractional - up to 8 times a day. This will significantly reduce the burden on the gallbladder.

Drinking regimen requires the use of a sufficient amount of liquid in the form of pure water, tea, compotes. Should be avoided highly carbonated mineral water, effervescent drinks, and even more so alcohol.

What is the diet for diseases of the biliary tract?

Inadequate and unbalanced nutrition is of decisive importance in the etiology of the development of inflammation in the biliary tract. Fried, pickled, fatty and spicy dishes, rich in cholesterol and lipids, overeating and irregular eating strongly affect the quality of biochemical processes in the body. This contributes to the formation of sand and stones from inorganic and organic substances that accumulate in the gall bladder and ducts. If the food is balanced, the metabolic processes proceed normally and no deposits are formed.

It should be removed from the diet of fatty foods (meaning animal fats), alcohol, limit the amount of salt, pepper, spices, avoid the use of strong coffee and carbonated drinks. It is not recommended, both to starve and overeat - the liver is very sensitive to the imbalance of food intake. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner - the minimum number of meals. There is a need for small portions, rising from the table, without waiting for a sense of satiety. Snacks should consist of any fruit or vegetable non-calorie salad.

Water should be consumed about 2 liters per day between meals, and not during it. Carbonated water can be drunk, pre-defending it from carbon dioxide. Preference should be given to alkaline mineral waters: Truskavetskaya, Morshinskaya, Borzhomi, Nabeglavi, and others.
