"Survival School"

It is said that most ulcers live from spring to autumn and from autumn to spring. In these seasons, their symptoms are exacerbated. To avoid this, you need to learn how to eat right. Not because the diet requires it, but because the diseased gastrointestinal tract cannot cope with the heavy, traditional cuisine. By eating what a healthy person prefers, you will feel discomfort, and the treatment time will be significantly longer.

Period of exacerbation

• Diet for gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer during the period of exacerbation recommends drinking a lot of warm, but not hot drinks. Weak tea, especially green, boiled water, irrigation liquid "tourrol", which is sold in pharmacies without a prescription, as well as mineral medicinal waters, are shown. Be sure to drink between meals or before meals. Never immediately after a meal.
• You need to eat 6-10 times a day. Meals should be light and fairly meager. Overeating creates an unnecessary burden on the gastrointestinal tract. All dishes should be well cooked, be soft, so as not to irritate the gastric mucosa, not to make produce more gastric juice and facilitate the absorption of nutrients.
• We recommend mashed potatoes or potatoes - vegetable, cooked and ground veal, marmalade, jelly, jelly, pureed low-fat vegetable soups with small grains of millet or semolina. Dishes should be without spices, as they increase the secretion of gastric juice. Do not eat raw vegetables and fruits. Compote fruit and peeled apples are best suited. From bread the best are - stale bread.
