Kisel in gastritis: oatmeal, flaxseed, milk, fruit

Kissel has always been present in the food traditions of the Slavs. This drink crowned the feasts of various holidays and funerals; after it was served on the table, those present understood that it was time to leave. And in everyday life, it was very popular. In modern realities, its role has been significantly reduced and does not carry any semantic load. It has been supplanted by juices, sprites, Pepsi-Cola, various cocktails - everything that is forbidden for gastritis. So is it worth introducing kissel into the diet for diseases of the digestive tract?

Is it possible to drink jelly if you have gastritis?

Having analyzed the properties of the drink, we can say with confidence that jelly is not only possible for gastritis, but also necessary. Since the disease is diverse in its etiology and pathogenesis, we will consider its individual types:

• Kissel for gastritis with high acidity - characterized by excessive secretion of gastric juice, including hydrochloric acid, which is aggressive towards the inner wall of the stomach, leading to inflammation and other damage. Mucous liquid, drunk on an empty stomach, will protect the organ, improve regenerative processes, relieve spasms, strengthen the immune system, normalize metabolism, stool, reduce gastric activity;
• Kissel for gastritis with low acidity - the pathology is characterized by a decrease in the functions of the secretory glands, which means a favorable environment for the reproduction of pathogenic organisms and the occurrence of foci of inflammation appears. Food should be gentle, not containing coarse, hard-to-digest foods. Berry kissels are the best for this, they will increase acidity, they are especially recommended to drink at night;
• jelly for erosive gastritis - the disease occurs when the stomach's own digestive juices corrode the surface of the stomach, especially if its smooth muscles are weakened. In this case, jelly can be present in the patient's daily menu, if sour varieties of berries and fruits are not used as its base, but oatmeal and milk options are preferred;
• Kissel during exacerbation of gastritis - the clinical picture of the pathology is very sad: pain in the epigastric region, nausea, often vomiting, dry mouth, belching, constipation or diarrhea, loss of appetite, general weakness. Drug therapy and a strict diet can bring the body to a normal state. And here, kissel will bring its positive effect on the mucous membrane of the organ, if it is prepared correctly.

What kind of jelly do you drink during an exacerbation? It is best to make it from dried fruits and oats. Drink it warm, but not hot or cold. Acute conditions require fractional, frequent and gentle nutrition, so a glass of the drink can be used for snacks or a smaller amount during meals.
