Wine for gastritis

It is well known that alcohol brings evil, so you can not drink. Moreover, a patient with gastritis and concomitant gastrointestinal pathologies. Doctors and nutritionists warn everyone from alcohol of all times and peoples. However, a counter question arises: why doesn’t humanity throw this product out of its diet once and for all? Why is the drink put on tables in all homes, regardless of the status and health status of the people who gather for it? Why is it even used in church, from biblical times to the present day? Surely the answer is obvious: everything is good, if on time and in moderation. Good wine for gastritis - including.

Can wine be given for gastritis?

People suffering from inflammation of the digestive organs are limited in drinking alcohol. Some doubt whether wine can be used for gastritis and inflammation of other organs, even in minimal quantities.

Compared to other alcohol, wines are less toxic. Moreover, in quality wines there are a lot of useful ingredients, therefore, it is not the wine with gastritis that causes harm, but its quality and quantity. With constant intake of wine, the stomach does not act in the best way:

• It weakens the motility of the esophagus, relaxes the sphincter, which is why food enters the esophagus and irritates the mucous membrane.
• Slows down the digestion of food, provokes constipation.
• It causes heartburn.
• Promotes the development of atrophic inflammation.

If you drink wine little and infrequently, then you can get a positive result: acceleration of the digestive process and the evacuation of over-etched masses. In addition, a quality drink provides the prevention of dangerous infections that cause salmonella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

You must choose according to the following criteria:

• red or white dry;
• fortified and sparkling are not allowed;
• drinking fasting is prohibited.

Save on quality is not worth it, because treatment after cheap drinks will still cost more. Wine should be consumed after a small snack at the beginning of the feast, and not on an empty stomach. [1]

Wine for gastritis with low acidity

Alcohol and gastritis - concepts, at first glance, incompatible. After all, it is alcoholic beverages that are the cause of the onset or exacerbation of the inflammatory process in the stomach. However, not all drinks can be said so categorically. Wine with gastritis is allowed, but taking into account the severity of the disease. So that it does not cause an exacerbation, the rules should be followed:

• do not drink on an empty stomach;
• do not abuse;
• choose quality;
• consider combination with drugs.

Dry red is the best wine option for gastritis with low acidity. White wine in this sense is inferior to red. Antioxidants are able to neutralize the harmful components of the drink, tannins have a beneficial effect on the mucous membrane.

• Grape wine increases the activity of glands that produce hydrochloric acid, so it is inappropriate in a human diet with high acidity.

The permissible amount of alcohol for inflammation of the stomach is minimal. In various sources indicate from 50 to 100 ml of wine per day. Moreover, we are not talking about a daily intake: regularly drinking alcohol is guaranteed to ensure a worsening of the condition. A positive effect is possible when consumed no more than once a week.

After completion of treatment, the patient of the gastroenterological department should continue to be wary of wine, so as not to provoke a relapse or exacerbation of the process.

Wine with gastritis with high acidity

Is it always justified to drink wine for gastritis? If the answer is no for beer, vodka, whiskey, then with wine it is not so simple. Dry red contains many useful components, helps fight pathogenic microflora. However, the drink contains acids, but is an additional acidity necessary for an inflamed stomach?

Even a minimum of wine with gastritis with high acidity can trigger a deterioration of the process, because:

• causes heartburn;
• dilates blood vessels, which can lead to bleeding;
• enhances inflammation and the likelihood of an erosive form;
• stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid, which increases the overall acidity of the stomach.

In those cases where wine is allowed, it should be selected and drunk correctly. Natural red wine in small doses acts as an antiseptic, has a sedative, relaxing, analgesic. It supplies the body with a whole vitamin and mineral complex, improves digestion, and relieves acute inflammation.

Dry wine is acceptable during meals, after partially filling the stomach with healthy food. It should be remembered that wine also contains ethanol, which negatively affects the digestive tract, injures the mucous membranes, and adversely affects the nervous system. You can not drink fortified and carbonated wines, exceed the permissible dosage (50-100ml, according to some sources - 200ml).

Wine with erosive gastritis

People with an unhealthy stomach have to change their regimen and habitual diet. Including - attitude to alcohol. With pains, feeling unwell, this happens involuntarily: it would never occur to anyone to drink wine with gastritis, when he is sick of the appearance of the most neutral and necessary foods and dishes.

• When the acute symptoms disappear and the state of health improves, the person loses vigilance and tries to return to his previous lifestyle.

In this case, there is a real danger of relapse. Therefore, patients with any form of gastritis, including chronic, should be careful about alcohol: drink moderately or not drink at all, choose high-quality and not too strong drinks.

Wine with erosive gastritis is a great danger. Erosions are open wounds on the walls of an inflamed organ. If any irritating substance, especially alcohol, gets on their surface, the damaged mucosa reacts with acute pain, comparable to what is called "pour salt into the wound." A glass of strong drink is enough to harm both the state of the stomach and the patient’s well-being. In addition to the unbearable pain that a person feels, the depth and area of the spread of erosion increases.

Alcohol is strictly forbidden with atrophic inflammation. Moreover, the regular use of spirits is the cause of atrophic changes in which the stomach loses its functionality and does not digest the contents. This is a very serious pathology, which is not easy to cope with.

What kind of wine is possible with gastritis?

Correction of the diet is an important link in the treatment and prevention of gastritis. In the presence of acute symptoms and severe discomfort is not up to alcohol. When the aggravation passes and the person returns to the usual order, sooner or later, the issue of alcohol arises on the agenda. What kind of wine is possible with gastritis? - the question is not idle and cannot be answered in a word.

• Some doctors consider wine with gastritis harmful. Others insist on the importance of the quality and quantity of the drink.

With an exacerbation of inflammation, alcohol, once inside the stomach, further irritates its walls. The degree of irritation depends on the percentage of ethanol: the more, the stronger. Therefore, alcohol drunk on an empty stomach causes severe pain. If a person eats the right food, then it softens the negative impact of the drink.

• The incompatibility of alcohol with antibiotics, which the patient is prescribed for treatment, can also harm.

The patient may experience vomiting, and in severe cases, bleeding and even stroke. In general, if possible, it is better to abstain completely from alcohol. If, nevertheless, a feast falls, then in order to get pleasure and benefit from wine, you need to adhere to the developed rules. In particular, choose expensive natural wine of dry red varieties, drink a glass of wine no more than once a month.

Red wine for gastritis

Acceptable or not red wine for gastritis, depends on the stage of the disease, the percentage of alcohol, the quality and dosage of the drink. To clarify when and which of the alcohol is allowed, preferably by the attending physician. It is only a period of remission, when the patient is not bothered by pain and other symptoms of gastritis.

It is important to remember that wine for gastritis is the exception rather than the rule. And that most drugs do not combine with alcohol. If you feel worse after taking it, it’s better not to self-medicate, but to inform your doctor about it.

In any case, you must eat before drinking, you can use one of the allowed fatty foods. A hot dish and sour-milk drinks will do. Snacks should not be spicy or salty. Preference is for red caviar, boiled eggs.

• According to experts, dry grape wine in small volumes positively affects the patient's condition.

It acts antiseptically on bacteria and soothingly on the body as a whole. A glass of wine saturates the body with potassium, iron, iodine, vitamins B, C, antioxidants, amino acids, and these components enhance the therapeutic effect of medicines on a sick stomach.

The allowed portion of red wine, according to various sources, ranges from 150 to 200 ml per month. The product must be of high quality, from a trusted manufacturer, a truly dry brand. Such products are produced in glass bottles, tightly corked. Bright, eye-catching labels are not an indicator at all: manufacturers who know their worth do not use more than three colors in their design. Fortified wines, red champagne and sparkling wines are not worth drinking with gastritis.

White wine for gastritis

In short, white wine with gastritis does not give anything good. For the reason that it does not have components that would be beneficial for the digestive organs. Such properties are inherent in dark grape varieties and, accordingly, wine products made from them.

Taking white wine can cause exacerbation and stomach pain. The same can be said about dessert drinks, which contain too much excess sugar.

• The best natural wine for gastritis is dry red, although it is hardly worth looking for the truth in it. That is, be sure to drink to the bottom.

Vermouth is sometimes offered as an aperitif at the receptions. This is a white wine with spices and healthy herbs. With gastritis, it is drunk slowly, in small sips, after eating. Snack on sandwiches, not fruit.

• As for healthy people, a glass of white will not hurt them. Compared to red, it has its own advantages: fewer antioxidants, but they are better absorbed.

Many people prefer white varieties because of the delicate taste and aroma. It is used not only for the festive table, but also in cooking, and in cosmetology. Such a concept as a “bouquet” in winemaking depends on the variety and processing technology, so white wines can be dry, dessert or sparkling.

White wine stimulates digestion and metabolism, improves appetite, enriches the body with microelements, including those that are absent in grape raw materials. It contains 80% of the useful water obtained from processed berries. In the stomach, the product kills microbes, binds poisons and toxins.

Like red, white grape drink is favorable for the work of the heart and blood vessels, memory and thinking. It has other advantages, under one condition: if it is drunk infrequently and little by little.

Dry wine for gastritis

Dry wines are considered useful because they do not contain excess sugars and degrees. In them, antiseptic, antioxidant, vitamin properties are maximally manifested. Wines are combined with cheeses, fish, fruits, sweets, light meat snacks. Dry grape wines for gastritis are the preferred drinks from the entire alcoholic variety.

• The benefits of natural wines with gastritis are manifested if they are not abused. Because more is by no means better.

People who consume good wine to the best of their ability are less prone to cardiovascular disease. Grape drink suppresses a tendency to depression, produces high-density proteins, promotes the absorption of healthy food components.

With regular dosed intake, the body is vitaminized and strengthens the immune system. In a person who consumes exclusively natural wines, memory and thinking are improved, and the vessels of the brain are strengthened. Dry drinks are also recommended for the prevention of atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.

There is a flip side to the coin. The wine contains sugar, which is harmful to diabetics. Any alcohol is forbidden to drink to pregnant and lactating women, people with gout, chronic kidney and liver problems. Dry wine has allergic components that can cause reactions in people prone to such manifestations.

Home-made wine for gastritis

Before you include wine with gastritis in the diet, you need to consult a doctor. After all, no one has canceled unpredictable individual reactions to a specific fermentation product, which is a grape alcoholic drink.

• Natural home-made wine for gastritis, made from high-quality eco-raw materials, does not contain excess sugar, preservatives and other chemicals.

Red grape is useful for the prevention of anemia, vitamin deficiency, heart attack, stroke, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. Hot helps to treat colds. Like high-quality industrial wines, it neutralizes the fats and salts deposited in the kidneys. It has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.

Apple wine contains iodine, which is necessary for the thyroid gland. Wines from blackberries, currants, chokeberries strengthen blood vessels. Blueberry, strawberry, raspberry drinks enrich the body with iron. Home-made fruit drinks increase defenses.

• All these positive qualities are manifested with moderate intake. An overdose of homemade wines has the completely opposite effect and causes irreparable harm to health.

Drink wine should be after meals, in small sips, a maximum of 200 ml per month. You can not combine it with antibiotics and drink in the acute period of gastritis.

Benefits

More recently, the question of the benefits of wine has been controversial. Wine lovers put forward arguments in favor of great benefit, their opponents argued the opposite, arguing that alcohol is harmful in principle. Still others were inclined to believe that there was a benefit, but not substantial. As they say, everyone was partially right.

• A few years ago, French scientists in a research way brought the positive effect of red wine, especially when eating fatty and sweet high-calorie foods, typical of national cuisine.

It is these dishes that taste the French, along with a national addiction to wines of their own production. It seems that this study put an end to the "wine" disputes.

Briefly, the essence is as follows. For 30 years, scientists from two universities have watched 35,000 Frenchmen and concluded: the healthiest among them are those who drink moderate doses of wine. The keyword, of course, is moderate.

The useful dose, with daily use, is not more than 50 g. Therefore, the French have fewer cardiovascular and digestive problems than other Europeans. Scientists attribute the beneficial effect of resveratrol to the body, found in grape skin and red wines. Thanks to him, the drink reduces the risk of diabetes, oncology, dementia, prolongs life.

The benefits of dry red wine are provided by vitamins, minerals, especially iron, catechins, polyphenols, melatonin. This composition has multiple effects: it stimulates metabolism, digestion of heavy foods, regulates sugar levels, treats vitamin deficiency and anemia, and improves immunity. Provides the prevention of osteoporosis, insomnia, obesity, intestinal disorders. Mulled wine with spices is useful for pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, colds. 

Red wine and green tea have been proven to prevent damage to the gastric epithelium caused by H. Pylori. [2]

Contraindications

If the patient suffers from some serious illness and takes medication, then this is a clear contraindication to drinking alcohol. Most gastritis medications are also incompatible with alcohol. Alcohol is also inappropriate during a relapse of gastritis.

Wine with gastritis in a high dose is clearly harmful, in permissible quantities is allowed only with remission and good health. We are talking about adult patients, but not about children and not about teenagers, because wine and stronger alcohol negatively affect the brain, psyche, and the physical condition of the forming organism.

• Alcohol is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation, since it causes irreversible defects in the spinal cord and brain of a small organism.

Do not drink with alcohol intolerance. If the reception of the permitted drink at the permitted time caused pain and poor condition, then it should be abandoned in the future.

Rumors that strong drinks relieve pain and help heal stomach wounds are also unfounded. In fact, high-degree alcohol is an aggressive substance, it irritates the stomach very much. Even if the pain first calms down a little, it will definitely come back again, and it will be much stronger. If it enters the body occasionally, then the mucosa is restored. With daily use - does not have time and starts to hurt. Therefore, it is alcohol that is the cause of gastritis in many patients.

Complications

If a person drinks sweet wines, possible complications can become real. In particular, there is a high probability of the formation of kidney stones. Dry wine, on the other hand, removes the oxalates that make up these stones.

Wine for gastritis should not be abused. A serving of more than 50 ml is considered harmful. Complications are associated with the presence of the following components in a drink:

• allergens (yeast, pollen, histamines);
• sulfur dioxide, causing asthma in asthmatics;
• polyphenols that can cause migraines in those prone to this disease.

When abused, alcohol toxins accumulate in the liver, which over time often leads to cirrhosis.
