Kashi with gastritis with high acidity: oatmeal, rice, pearl barley

Such a disease, like gastritis, has long been considered one of the most common pathologies in the world. Especially often diagnosed gastritis with high acidity is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which is accompanied by an increase in the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Any doctor who establishes a similar diagnosis will always indicate the need for a special diet. Among a large number of recommendations, the doctor may advise you to eat cereals with gastritis with high acidity - it is not only useful, but can contribute to the removal of the main symptoms of the disease.

Indications

Perhaps the first dish, which doctors recommend to absolutely all patients with gastritis, are cereals from different groats. However, not all types of cereal can be useful for sick people. Some of them are preferable, but others will have to be abandoned. We will talk about this below.

Practically for any type of gastritis, you can advise the use of such cereals as buckwheat, oatmeal, rice and semolina. These cereals do not have an irritating and damaging effect on the inflamed walls of the stomach, but on the contrary - protect them, enveloping a kind of protective film. In addition, such grains are of great benefit to the whole body: they are provided with a sufficient amount of useful substances, they are supplemented with energy and saturated.

Many patients perceive cereals only in the form of side dishes, necessarily supplemented with a piece of meat or fish. But this is not so: porridge is a full-fledged self-sufficient dish. If you regularly eat about 250 grams of porridge per day, then the body will receive a sufficient amount of vitamin substances and trace elements.
