Diet for gastritis in a child

Chronic gastritis occupies one of the leading positions in the structure of diseases in children among various diseases of the digestive system. This disease has one in five babies. The first symptoms begin at an early age, starting at age 7. At this time, the child goes to school, eats outside the house, increases the load. All this contributes to the development of diseases of the stomach.

Only a doctor can prescribe a diet for chronic gastritis. If the child has pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen, belching or heartburn - immediately contact a specialist. It is better to consult a gastroenterologist. He will conduct a number of additional studies and analyzes, which will make it possible to specify the diagnosis and determine the associated diseases. After the examination, the specialist will decide which treatment table to prescribe (taking into account the pathologies the baby has).

There are several prescribed treatment tables for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the basic purpose of the appointment is to determine the leading disease that causes the most adverse symptoms for the baby.

It includes some basic rules:

• All food must be very well ground. It is not allowed to use large pieces. All meat products should be minced. In the first days of the onset of the disease, food with a more liquid consistency is recommended. For kids from 6 years old, you can already make food thicker and not as wiped as for kids.
• It is not allowed to use hot, burning food. All dishes should be cooled to a comfortable temperature. This is approximately 35-40 degrees. For children of preschool age, food can be cooled to room temperature or slightly higher (no more than 30 degrees). This will promote healing of the inflamed inner wall of the stomach.
• All products with a strong sharp or sour taste are strictly prohibited! You should not eat food that is fried. All dishes with crispy fried crust should also be excluded.
• Meals in small portions at a specific time. In diseases of the stomach, food intake plays an important (even a leading) role in treatment. If you feed on the regime, by a certain time, enzymes and digestive juices begin to be produced. If the food does not arrive at the appointed hour, the stomach becomes inflamed and gastritis appears. Feed your baby at least 5-6 times a day, at a certain time!
• Cook at home whenever possible. So you will know exactly what ingredients are put into the dishes. If the baby eats in the kindergarten, talk to the caregiver and explain why your child is sick. In preschool institutions, children now take into account the diseases and prepare meals separately. If a child attends school, be sure to check out the school menu. If it is not suitable for feeding your child, prepare food at home in advance and take it to your baby with you.

If a child is diagnosed with chronic gastritis, then throughout his life he must follow a special diet. It is aimed at preventing exacerbations and ensuring adequate functioning of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
