Regime for gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer

In case of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, it is necessary to ensure a protective regime with limitation of physical and emotional stress, stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Recommendations for lifestyle changes should be given in accordance with the general condition of the patient and the presence of other diseases.

During an exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, nutrition should be gentle in thermal, mechanical and chemical terms.

  • Thermal sparing means eating food that is not too hot (up to 60 °C) and not too cold (at least 15 °C).
  • Mechanical sparing involves the consumption of only liquid and mushy food.
  • Chemical sparing involves eliminating everything that stimulates gastric secretion: strong tea and coffee, drinks with carbon dioxide and alcohol, coffee-containing drinks, any spices, any spicy, fatty, fried foods, black and fresh (soft) bread, rich meat, fish, mushroom broths (including strong vegetable broths), canned food.

Diet for gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer

Nutrition for gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer should be frequent, fractional, mechanically and chemically gentle, with the exclusion of dishes that cause or intensify the clinical manifestations of the disease (for example, hot spices, pickled and smoked foods).

Currently, dietary recommendations for patients with peptic ulcer disease are less strict than they used to be, since the disease has been studied more deeply, but, nevertheless, the importance of therapeutic nutrition in therapy plays an important role. It is no secret that one of the main causes of serious exacerbations of peptic ulcer disease is dietary errors, neglect of diet, so the role of rational nutrition in preventing exacerbations is difficult to overestimate.

Until 2004, there was a system of therapeutic nutrition that included the use of 15 basic diets (these diets were also called therapeutic nutrition tables). The diet numbers corresponded to disease groups: tables 1 through 5 were intended for patients with digestive diseases, table 6 for patients with metabolic disorders, table 7 for kidney patients, etc.

Currently, this dietary nutrition system has been changed, and instead of 15 tables, a “New Nomenclature of Diets” (also known as a system of standard diets) has been introduced, comprising 5 main options, within which all the tables of therapeutic nutrition are distributed.

Mineral waters for peptic ulcers

It is useful for patients with ulcers to drink mineral water. How to choose it correctly? What time to drink it?

During remission, Borjomi, Essentuki No. 4, Smirnovskaya No. 1, Slavyanovskaya, Berezovskaya, and Jermuk are useful. The use of highly mineralized mineral waters is not recommended: Batalinskaya, Essentuki No. 17.

During the day, 200 ml (a glass) of mineral water is usually prescribed 3 times a day.

Taking mineral water may be accompanied by a balneological reaction: 5-15 days after the start of taking the water, pain appears or intensifies, dyspeptic symptoms (heartburn, belching) are noted. In this case, you should either reduce the dose and frequency of water intake, or stop taking the water for 1-2 days. Individual reactions in the form of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea are also possible, which requires mandatory consultation with the attending physician or cancellation of treatment with waters.

For increased secretory function of the stomach: drink warm mineral water in small sips for 5-7 minutes 30 minutes before meals and 1.5-2 hours after meals.

To relieve heartburn and stomach pain, it is recommended to drink water slowly, in small portions (50 ml) every 15-20 minutes.

Attention! Mineral water is heated in a bottle in a water bath to 38-40 °C.

For reduced gastric secretory function: drink cool mineral water 10-25 minutes before meals.

Attention! Sometimes, taking into account the course of the disease, the doctor recommends drinking mineral water after meals.
