Diet when you have gastroenteritis

 

Gastroenteritis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the digestive system including both the stomach and the small intestine.
The symptoms with which it appears are diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Gastroenteritis cases are reaching epidemic proportions. Many experts claim that gastroenteritis is the second most common virus after the common cold, because it is very easily transmitted.

Primary care is proper hydration and ensuring electrolyte balance because fluids and salts are lost from the body. We achieve this if we consume water, infusions and isotonic solutions in small quantities and at regular intervals, in order to replenish fluids. In addition the diet should be reduced in fiber and at the same time increased in carbohydrates with emphasis on starch and simple carbohydrates.

In more detail, the following instructions will be useful for the dietary treatment of the disease.

1. Drink small amounts of clean liquids often (every 15 minutes), such as water or diluted lemonade (one cup of lemonade in four cups of water) or an electrolyte solution containing potassium, sodium, calcium.
2. One hour after vomiting do not give anything by mouth (especially water). But later, teaspoon - teaspoon a little tea.
3. When you feel better and can eat, eat small amounts of banana and apple , which are rich sources of potassium. You will replenish another "lost" electrolyte.


4. It is good to drink and eat rice soup or vermicelli (lapas), with a little more salt than usual.
5. Drink small amounts of tea ( tea with lemon ).
6. The diet should be low in fiber and avoid eating fresh fruits and vegetables ( vegetables , fruits such as plums , figs , etc.). Focus mainly on simple carbohydrates, such as white bread, white spaghetti, rice, cream crackers and toast.
7. Dairy products should also be avoided(milk, yogurt, cheese) for precautionary reasons. For the children, we give the milk in double dilution, thickening it slowly.
8. Avoid sweets , fries , sauces , chips (shrimp, etc.), minced meat , ham , bacon.
9. It is recommended to eat chicken breast without skin or chicken soup - beef, fish (lean, boiled or grilled) and well-boiled eggs (not less than 6 minutes to avoid salmonella).


Note: Apply the above diet for 2-3 days and gradually add to the diet the various foods with the latest legumes and heavy fatty foods.

If you can not find an electrolyte solution , alternatively do the following: a) Put a little soda and salt (in the "nose" of a teaspoon) and half a teaspoon of sugar in a glass of water. Soda contains bicarbonate, salt, chlorine and sodium and sugar, glucose, which stimulates the body.

Recipe for electrolyte
  • 1 liter of water
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt (for children ¼ or ½)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (for children ¼ or ½)
