Delicacy is undesirable to use for violations of carbohydrate metabolism, as it contains many simple carbohydrates.

Chocolate

To use chocolate at a gastritis with the raised or increased acidity is counter-indicative. The product is fatty enough, difficult to digest, provokes irritation of the mucosa and pain in the epigastrium. Getting into the stomach, it provokes an increased production of hydrochloric acid. It can be used in patients with low acidity, as cocoa beans injure the thinned mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and increase the level of acidity.

Contraindications to such popular sweets are associated with its composition: fatty vegetable and cocoa butter, caffeine. Consider the main types of chocolate and their effect on the body:

• White - does not contain caffeine and cocoa powder. It contains a large amount of vegetable fats, which makes it the sweetest.
• Bitter - consists of cocoa butter and powder. Contains a minimum of sugar, but a lot of caffeine and vegetable fats.

• Galette - is prepared on the basis of water and flour. Does not cause irritation and inflammation of the stomach. Has a pleasant taste. You can eat biscuits even in acute stages of pathology.
• Oatmeal cookies - can be used as purchased, and cooked at home.

When choosing such a dessert, it is necessary to remember that the cookies should not be rich and dry, without flavors and sweeteners.

So, with increased acidity unsweetened jam can provoke an exacerbation of the disease. That is, you can eat sweet desserts from natural ingredients, avoiding sour berry flavors.

Consider the most popular types of sweets and the possibility of using them:

• Caramels are the most harmless, as they are made from fruit and berry puree or juice. As a filling is jam, which is allowed with gastritis.
• Chocolate - because they are made from cocoa beans, palm oil and artificial additives, then they, like chocolate are banned.
• Fruit jelly - this kind of sweets is allowed, but only on the condition that they are absolutely natural, that is, they do not contain harmful additives.
