Suspicions of cholecystitis? Diet will save from complications

Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder. Very often, the concomitant disease is cholangitis (inflammation of the bile ducts) and pancreatitis (pancreatic disease). These diseases disrupt the process of bile secretion and digestion in general, and also affect the composition of bile. In itself, the disease cholecystitis, diet with it - things inseparable. This diet is based on a sparing diet in order to reduce the load on the digestive system.

So, during the first day the patient can use only liquid, which includes: sweet, weak tea, compotes and natural juices from berries and fruits, diluted with water half. You can also drink a decoction of rose hips to three glasses during the day in small portions.

With a reduction in pain over the next few days, you can eat only mashed foods, rice, oat soups and cereals, jelly and jelly from sweet berries and fruits. Diet in pancreatitis and cholecystitis involves a gradual improvement in the patient's health, so in the following days you can enter into the diet low-fat cottage cheese, lean meat, steamed, boiled fish of low-fat varieties and white breadcrumbs in small quantities. The number of meals should be at least five times a day.

After seven days, doctors are prescribed diet No. 5a, and after three weeks - diet No. 5. It must be remembered that improper nutrition with acute cholecystitis can provoke its transition to a chronic stage.

Diet will help alleviate the suffering of the patient, which causes acute cholecystitis. Diet № 5a is a full-fledged sparing food, with restriction of table salt and fats. From the daily diet, cold dishes and dishes that strengthen the fermentation process (legumes) and putrefaction in the intestine (fresh bread, fatty meat) are excluded. It is necessary to refuse for this period spices, smoked foods and spicy dishes. Basically, all food should be cooked steamed or cooked, and also it should be wiped and warm.

Diet # 5 allows you to add baked vegetables to the diet, and meat and fish can be baked, pre-boiled in salted water.

If, after all, the illness from the acute phase has passed into the chronic and the doctor makes the diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis, the diet becomes the most important factor in improving the quality of life of the patient, since it avoids periodic exacerbations.

Calculous cholecystitis is one of the variants of cholelithiasis, which develops due to stagnation of bile. Stones are a huge danger to human health, and can be either hard or soft, large and not very.

The diet for calculous cholecystitis is based on the principles of diet No. 5a. However, unfortunately, there is not a single minimally invasive or conservative way of destroying stones. The treatment with bile acid-based medications or crushing stones with ultrasound only leads to a temporary improvement in the state of health. As a result, the stones appear again and again. That is why the only method for eliminating calculous cholecystitis is to remove the gallbladder.

It will not be possible to avoid surgery if the stone closes the bile duct, and there is severe pain, chills, jaundice. Stones have the peculiarity of interfering with the outflow of the secretion of the pancreas, and there is a deadly disease - acute pancreatitis.

Thus, you need to be very careful about your health, and if the slightest ailments, the appearance of a bitter taste in the mouth, heartburn and other factors indicating a malfunction in the digestive system, you should immediately contact a specialist who will prescribe proper nutrition and treatment. It is necessary to remember that, if the doctor diagnosed "cholecystitis", the diet will serve as a primary measure of restoring health.
