Diet for dysbiosis

Diet for dysbiosis is a way to restore the broken functioning of the digestive system. Consider the features of nutrition in the disorder of the intestines, tasty and useful recipes, menus.

The imbalance of microbes in the intestinal microflora is quite common. This disorder occurs in both adults and children. Dysbacteriosis is a symptom of other pathologies, that is, it is not an independent disease. To its appearance can lead to a violation of diet, prolonged treatment with antibiotics, beriberi, diseases of the digestive tract.

The main causes of the violation of useful intestinal microflora:

• Low immunity.
• Various infections.
• Prolonged use of antibiotics.
• Reduced acidity.
• Pancreatitis (chronic form).
• Intestinal obstruction.

The microflora of the intestine is a complex ecosystem that includes the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, intestinal bacteria, viruses, fungi, food elements. During the meal, the food is processed with gastric juice and split. This accelerates the work of the intestine and the secretion of juices, forms amino acids and vitamins, cleaves cellulose, improves the absorption of vitamins, folic acid and other elements responsible for blood formation.

The appearance of stool disorders, abdominal pain, bloating, increased gas formation for a long time, indicate the development of dysbacteriosis. In addition, there is a deterioration in overall health, fever, joint pain, weakness. Balanced nutrition restores the growth of beneficial bacteria, and improves well-being.

Treatment of a dysbacteriosis by a diet

Violation of the balance between the opportunistic and obligate flora of the intestine causes a number of unfavorable symptoms. Treatment of a dysbacteriosis by a diet is the most effective and at the same time a safe method of eliminating a disorder. By itself, the disease is characterized by a protracted, difficult process. Therefore, without medical intervention, it can become a serious problem.

Treatment depends on the intensity of the disorders, which are divided into three large groups, depending on the age of the patient and the results of the stool analysis. Let's consider the basic characteristics:

Degree of violations	Treatment method
Reducing the amount of useful microflora and reducing its activity.	Diet, vitamin therapy, prebiotics, enterosorbents.
The appearance of painful symptoms due to opportunistic microorganisms.	Functional nutrition, probiotics, a complex of vitamins and minerals.
A large number of pathogenic microorganisms in the intestine.	Long-term dietotherapy, intake of vitamins and enterosorbents. Probiotics, antibacterial therapy, intestinal antiseptics, bacteriophages.

Therapy should be comprehensive and performed by a gastroenterologist in the following areas:

• Determination of the causes of the disorder and their elimination. At this stage, the patient can be assigned pathogenetic treatment (enzyme preparations) to eliminate the inflammatory process and restore motor functions of the intestine.
• At the second stage, it is necessary to normalize the process of digestion and eliminate acute painful symptoms. Particular attention is paid to diet therapy for the normalization of the intestine - diet table number 4.
• According to the results of the tests, the doctor corrects the composition of the intestinal microflora. To do this, the patient is prescribed intestinal antiseptics, probiotics and prebiotics, bacteriophages.
• At the last stage, measures are taken to improve the protective properties of the immune system, the use of immunomodulators, vitamin complexes.

As a rule, the diet is developed in accordance with the causes of dysbiosis. The patient is assigned a viscous, fresh, mucous food with a minimum amount of salt. If the disease is accompanied by diarrhea, then a more severe diet is prescribed. In addition to eating it is necessary to pay attention to the drinking regime. To normalize the digestive tract, it is necessary to drink 30-40 minutes before meals and 2 hours after eating. It is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol and fermentation drinks (homemade wine, kvass). The right diet will help to cope with the disorder of the intestines without problems.

The essence of diet

There are many factors that contribute to the disturbance of normal intestinal flora. Improper nutrition, rich in preservatives and semi-finished products, hot food, alcohol or spices, can lead to the development of the disease. To eliminate the consequences of such violations, the patient is assigned a special diet. The essence of the diet lies in the restoration of a healthy flora of the intestine and the recovery of the body. When preparing a therapeutic diet, factors such as:

• Features of the course of the underlying disease.
• Elimination of signs of dyspepsia.
• Prevention of hypovitaminosis and food allergy.
• Creation of favorable conditions for the growth of healthy microflora.

Nutrition for each patient. The doctor makes the diet, focusing on the intolerance of certain products, the age of the patient and the severity of the symptoms of the disease. It is very important to stick to 5-6 meals, that is, fractional meals. The diet should be balanced in terms of protein-energy composition.

• With the prevalence of putrefactive processes, meat and fats should be limited. The main diet should be cereals, dairy products and boiled vegetables.

• If the disease is accompanied by diarrhea, then you should eat grated or boiled food at room temperature. Medicinal properties are compote of bird cherry, blueberries, pomegranate and decoction from the bark of oak.

Along with the diet, the patient is given probiotics and prebiotics to restore the intestinal microflora. The composition of probiotics include lactic acid microorganisms, that is, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which live in the healthy intestine. Prebiotics are substances that create a favorable environment for the growth of beneficial bacteria. So, for the recovery, the sufficiency is to restore a healthy microflora that will destroy the pathogenic bacteria.

Diet with a dysbiosis with diarrhea

In many patients, dysbacteriosis is accompanied by diarrhea, which complicates the course of the disease. Diarrhea can be a symptom of colitis or chronic gastrointestinal diseases. For treatment, use drugs with lacto / bifidobacteria and proper nutrition. Diet for a dysbacteriosis with diarrhea begins with a short fasting 2-3 days. During this period it is recommended to drink more tea, herbal and berry broths, but without sugar. When using berry or fruit compotes, they must be filtered.
