Indications

Many doctors are sure that eating nuts and dried fruits with gastritis with high acidity is strictly prohibited. Indeed, patients with gastritis are recommended a sparing diet with the use of mashed and chopped food, and nuts and dried fruits are solid foods that can initially lead to mechanical irritation of the walls of the stomach.

Even in a healthy person, nuts and dried fruits can be digested for a long time, and a double load is placed on the sick stomach.

However, as they say, "if you really want", then you can use a small amount of dried fruits or nuts, but:

• not on an empty stomach;
• not at the stage of exacerbation of gastritis;
• Only in a crushed form (for example, grind in a blender or coffee grinder);
• only adults.

And more: the product should be unprocessed - that is, not fried and without all sorts of chemical and flavor additives.

In order not to cause damage to the body, both nuts and dried fruits, before eating, you should wash and soak in water at room temperature, for several hours. In this form, these products are less aggressive for the stomach.

Benefits

Dried fruits help prevent or relieve colds and viral diseases, since they supply the body with a lot of fiber and vitamins.

Nuts contain about 15% protein and a large number of useful oils that help strengthen the vessels, improve the condition of the skin and hair, and also give the body a large amount of energy and, as a result, a good mood and vivacity.

Seeds and nuts with gastritis with high acidity

Seeds are a unique product. And not only because they carry a lot of benefit for the body. Seeds are one of the few foods that are easy to overeat and difficult to dose. Some scientists have even proved the possibility of developing a "seminal" dependence (those who love seeds, understand what they mean).

However, with gastritis with high acidity, doctors are unequivocally advised to "forget" about seeds. In addition to mechanical microdamages of the gastric mucosa, the seeds can cause an increase in the secretory activity of the duodenum and gallbladder, which can aggravate the patient's condition.

In addition, the protein contained in the seeds is not well perceived by the stomach - eating a large number of seeds can cause increased gas formation and flatulence.

Nuts are perceived by the human body better than seeds. However, they should not be fried, foul and moldy.

And more: nuts with gastritis with high acidity should be replaced with nut oils - for example, cedar, almond oil and walnut oil are very useful. Such products will undoubtedly benefit not only the gastric mucosa, but the whole body as a whole.

Walnuts

Walnuts are a very popular product with a lot of advantages. In walnuts there are quite a lot of vitamins and trace elements, they are able to withstand radiation and help to eliminate anemia.

Many nutritionists recommend eating dishes with walnuts for atherosclerosis, cardiac and vascular diseases, and diabetes mellitus.

A high content of iodine and other trace elements allows you to include a nut in the diet of patients with endocrine diseases - in particular, with pathologies of the thyroid gland.

Scientists have found that fresh walnuts in small amounts can strengthen and restore the walls of the stomach. For this reason, some doctors recommend using powdered kernels after the acute stage of the inflammatory process, but with gastritis with high acidity - in an amount not exceeding 20 g per day. The ground mass can be added to cottage cheese or porridge.

Pine nuts

Pine nuts are rare guests on our table, mainly because of their high cost. However, among the other nuts, they are the most useful - they found a record content of vitamins and more than three dozen micronutrients. In addition, plant proteins, which are rich in pine nut, are approximated in their composition to human tissue proteins, which allows them to fully digest 99%.

Pine nuts are used for many diseases: atherosclerosis, allergies, myocardial ischemia, cholelithiasis, colds, anemia and liver diseases. They benefit both children and the elderly.

It is generally believed that the pine nut is not as irritating to the gastric walls as other nuts. It is especially recommended to use a small amount of nucleoli with gastritis with increased acidity, as well as with peptic ulcer.

The recommended amount of pine nuts per day for gastritis is up to 30 g, under the condition of normal tolerability.

However, the most beneficial for gastritis with high acidity is oil from pine nuts: it has enveloping properties, creating a protective layer on the walls of the stomach. It is not only possible to use such oil for gastritis, but it is also necessary.

Almond

Almonds are bitter and sweet, depending on the presence of amygdalin - a bitter substance in the nuclei, which determines a kind of almond flavor.

Bitter, as well as unripe almond kernels to eat when gastritis with high acidity is not recommended, as this can cause severe poisoning, which in the future will only worsen the course of the inflammatory process in the stomach.

Sweet almonds have enveloping, analgesic and anticonvulsant properties. It is taken with diseases of the liver and gall bladder, with urolithiasis, as well as for cleansing the blood.

In gastritis with high acidity, almonds can reduce the acid concentration in the stomach if the following conditions of its use are observed:

• almonds must be raw, not processed;
• the maximum daily amount of almonds - up to 50 g.

Dried fruits with gastritis with high acidity

To use dried fruits in the form in which they are sold, with gastritis with high acidity is not recommended, since such products contain little moisture, they are gross and heavily perceived by the stomach. In addition, dried fruits contain a different amount of concentrated fruit acids, which can negatively affect, and without that, high acidity.

In order not to provoke an aggravation of the inflammatory process, it is recommended:

• or refuse to use dried fruits;
• or use them in the form of kissels and compotes;
• or soak a small amount of product in water for several hours, so that the fruits are saturated with moisture and become softer.

And do not forget about one very important condition: dried fruits can not be eaten during exacerbation of gastritis, but only in small amounts at the stage of remission.

Especially well-perceived by the body with gastritis with high acidity, such dried fruits as pears, apples, quince.

Prunes

Most doctors are not advised to eat prunes in patients with high acidity in the stomach. The exception is gastritis with high acidity of an autoimmune nature - in the remission phase it is allowed to use washed soaked prunes. What is the reason for such an exception to the rules?

Prunes have a strong immunostimulating property, and if you take it in food in quantities of up to 30 grams per day, you can even "push back" the period of exacerbation of gastritis.

However, despite this benefit of prunes, it is not necessary to use it for gastritis without consulting a doctor, because each organism is individual and only the doctor, after evaluating the results of the analyzes and studies, will be able to determine whether the dosed ingestion of prunes in any particular case will benefit.

Raisins

• strengthens the immune system, positively affects the function of the organs of vision.

However, dried apricots contain a fairly large amount of acid, and can also trigger the development of allergies, so to use this dried fruit with gastritis with high acidity should be treated with caution.

In addition, in most cases, dried apricots, before they get into the store, processed by various chemicals. This is done in order to give the product a more eye-catching presentation. Processed fruits are initially harmful to the body and, in particular, can cause digestive disorders and exacerbation of gastritis.

To choose relatively harmless for patients with gastritis dried apricots, it is necessary to adhere to such principles:

• do not buy bright orange dried fruits - the more unsightly the dried apricots, the more chances that it was not processed;
