Diet for esophageal hernia: menu for each day, recipes

After we were able to evaluate all the benefits of a diet for esophageal hernia and figured out the features of dietary nutrition before and after surgery in connection with this pathology, we can say that it is time to try to make a diet menu for at least a week. After all, the treatment of the disease can be quite long, and all this time you will have to follow a diet recommended for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

We have clarified which foods are allowed and prohibited when the digestive organs are displaced into the chest and reflux disease, which means that we can, based on this knowledge and understanding of the acceptable methods of heat treatment of foods, easily create a weekly diet, calculated for six meals a day.

There are a great many options for a diet menu for a hernia of the esophagus, because the choice of products for it can be considered quite sufficient. But it is necessary to take into account that a vegetable salad, casseroles, puddings are dishes that are more suitable for the recovery period, while cream soup, jelly and liquid dishes are quite acceptable during an exacerbation of a hernia of the esophagus.

On the Internet, you can find a lot of recipes for low-calorie dishes from healthy products that are great for dietary nutrition. But the disease will be somewhat easier to bear if you perceive it as an impetus for a flight of fantasy, because from the same set of products you can come up with several completely different dishes, the taste of which will depend on the method of preparation and flavor additives (fruits, greens, dried herbs).

For example, the popular dietary dish "baked apple" can be diversified by adding honey, cottage cheese, and pieces of dried apricots to the cut-out cavity. And there are even more options for cooking oatmeal, so beloved by the English. It is delicious both with milk and with water with honey and various fruit and berry fillings. Oatmeal can be added to cheesecakes and casseroles, and you can bake tasty and healthy oatmeal cookies from them, having previously ground them into flour so that hard lumps do not form after baking.

When preparing vegetable salads, you can season them with a small amount of Himalayan pink salt, which will add a certain piquancy to the dishes. As a dressing, you can use high-quality refined vegetable oils and low-fat yogurt. This combination does not spoil the taste of the dish in any way, but on the contrary, brings delicate milky notes to it. And in combination with egg yolk, oil and yogurt are quite worthy competitors to mayonnaise and can replace it in salads from boiled vegetables. During the period of remission, you can add dressing to salads from fresh vegetables.

Fruit salads can be dressed with yogurt and honey. Cottage cheese also goes well with these products and becomes less dry and bland, and by adding fruits and berries to it you can get a real restaurant dessert.

The lack of salt and sugar in dietary dishes can be compensated for by honey, natural mild spices, aromatic herbs and a beautiful design of the dish. It has been proven that a beautifully decorated dish seems more appetizing and tastier than a pile of vegetables piled up in a disorderly heap or cottage cheese mixed with jam or fruit. But it is worth drawing a smiling face on a plate with cottage cheese using the same fruits and jam, and life will seem much more interesting and brighter, despite the illness and the need to follow a diet.

Recipes for dishes for esophageal hernia

Well, everyone can fantasize about decorating dishes on their own, but it is more difficult with recipes. Not everyone is given to be a great cook and know which products go together in one dish, and which are better to use in different ones. We will give several useful and tasty recipes for first, second courses and desserts that can be included in the diet for a diet for a hernia of the esophagus.

Vegetable puree soup

Ingredients:

Pumpkin - a piece, weighing 500-600 g

Potatoes – 2 pcs. (large)

Water - 1 glass

Milk diluted with water in equal proportions - 2 glasses

Favorite spices and parsley

Peel the pumpkin and potatoes, cut into small pieces, add water and simmer with the lid closed until the vegetables become soft. Pour the contents of the pan into a blender (or rub through a sieve) and turn into a puree.

Boil the milk diluted with water, add our puree, bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Add a little salt and seasoning to the soup-puree and boil for about 10 more minutes.

Before serving, sprinkle the dish with finely chopped parsley or dill.

You can make other pureed soups based on this recipe, for example, using carrots or zucchini instead of pumpkin. If you add a little sugar instead of salt, you will get a sweet dish that is good for breakfast or lunch. If you make a pureed soup based only on pumpkin, it is very tasty sweetened with honey.

Meat pudding with semolina

We will not indicate the amount of ingredients in this delicious dish, which, despite its satiety, is quite easily digested in the gastrointestinal tract. We will give readers the opportunity to experiment with proportions and choose exactly those that will make the pudding the most tender and attractive.

It is not difficult to prepare a dietary meat pudding. Its base is beef, which must first be minced a couple of times. Next, cook thin semolina porridge in water or diluted milk, adding a little salt and carefully watching that no coarse lumps form.

After the semolina porridge has cooled, add the prepared meat to it and mix well. Now take a raw chicken egg, separate the yolk from the white, and beat the white with a mixer or whisk until stiff. Pour the yolk into the semolina-meat mixture, mix, add a little more salt, and only then carefully add the whipped whites. You can't mix the ingredients vigorously now, you need to do it slowly, as carefully as possible, otherwise the pudding will not have the necessary porous structure.

Place the mixture in a greased form, carefully level the top of the casserole and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 20 minutes. The finished pudding can be poured with meat broth or served with milk sauce.

You can also make vegetable pudding using this recipe, using your favorite vegetables instead of meat. If you make the pudding from carrots, chopped in a blender or grated on a fine grater, you can make it sweet.

Combined vegetable salad

Ingredients:

Chinese cabbage – 50 g

Potatoes – 2 pcs.

Chicken egg – 1 pc.

Cucumber – ¼ pc.

Vegetable oil (vegetable, olive) – 1 tsp.

Yogurt – 2 tbsp.

Finely chop the Chinese cabbage, sprinkle lightly with salt and knead with your hands until juice is released. Boil the potatoes and egg, cool and cut into small pieces (you can grate them on a coarse grater). Grate the cucumber or cut into small cubes (you can cut them into thin slices).

Instead of eggs, you can add small pieces of brine cheese to the salad, which goes well with Chinese cabbage.

Mix all the ingredients, add vegetable oil and yogurt, sprinkle with Himalayan (sea, iodized or regular table) salt, and garnish with your favorite herbs.

Diet Vinaigrette

In this recipe, we will also not indicate proportions, because a salad of this type is familiar to almost everyone and everyone prepares it in their own way, taking products in those combinations and quantities that they find most appetizing.

The classic vinaigrette necessarily includes boiled potatoes, carrots and beets, cut into cubes. We will remove the onions from the recipe, and replace the pickles with fresh ones or a sour apple. Lovers of protein dishes can add finely chopped chicken or a hard-boiled egg to the salad. By combining different products, you can get several different dishes for every day.

Season the finished salad with your favorite vegetable oil, add a little ground paprika or coriander if desired, and sprinkle with chopped parsley or dill.

Cottage cheese soufflé (diet)

Ingredients:

Cottage cheese with fat content up to 2% - 400 g

Low-fat milk – 100 g

Gelatin - 15 g

Natural honey (or sugar) – 1-2 tbsp.

Water – 1 glass

Soak gelatin in water for half an hour, then put it on low heat. Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve and mix with honey. Add the curd mass to the heated and completely dissolved gelatin, mix and send to the blender.

Pour the chopped and slightly whipped mass into a mold and put it in the refrigerator when cool. Keep the finished soufflé warm before use (cold dishes are not recommended for esophageal hernia), and decorate with fruits and berries or lightly pour jam over it before serving.

Dietary cheesecakes for breakfast

This dish is prepared without flour and sugar and, despite this, it turns out surprisingly appetizing and is perfect for a diet table.

Ingredients:

Low-fat cottage cheese – 300 g

Oat flour (you can grind oat flakes in a coffee grinder) – 20 g

Medium sized banana – 1 pc

Fresh chicken egg – 1 pc.

Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve. Mash the banana thoroughly with a fork until it becomes a paste. Mix all the ingredients and form small balls from the resulting cottage cheese dough, which are then placed on baking paper and pressed down a little, forming neat flat cakes.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and put our syrniki in it for 40 minutes. Such curd pastries are very tasty with yogurt, fruit and berry sauce or juices.

Delicate cottage cheese casserole with fruits

Ingredients:

Low-fat cottage cheese, rubbed through a sieve – 250 g

Fresh chicken eggs – 2 pcs.

Sour cream – 1 tbsp.

Sugar – 2-3 tbsp.

Starch – 1 tbsp.

Mix all ingredients except egg whites, which should be separated from yolks, and beat with a fork until sugar dissolves. To get vanilla flavor, you can replace some of the sugar with vanilla or add a little vanillin.

The whites need to be whipped into a firm foam and carefully mixed into the curd mass. If desired, you can also add pieces of fresh apples or dried apricots.

We place our preparation in a greased form, level it and send it to the oven for half an hour, which was preheated to 190-200 degrees.

The casserole turns out very tender and not dry, so it goes very well even without various additives in the form of sauces and drinks.

If you wish, you can find many other recipes for healthy, easily digestible dishes that are worthy of being included in the diet menu for esophageal hernia. If you look closely, these dishes are very similar to those that we prepare for our children so that they grow up strong and healthy.

But what mother would cook something bad or unhealthy for her child? Of course not. So, in the end, the diet of a person with digestive disorders turns out to be complete and promotes recovery, making the process of digestion more comfortable and normalizing intra-abdominal pressure.
