When a person is diagnosed with chronic or acute cholecystitis(cholelithiasis), adherence to diet is one of the most important conditions for extending the period of remission after treatment. The diet also includes compulsory program recovery after surgical treatment diseases.

Chronic cholecystitis is an isolated pathology only in exceptional cases. In most cases, the inflammatory process in the gallbladder leads to pathological disturbances in the functioning of the pancreas, intestines, liver, stomach, and is also accompanied by nervous and cardiovascular diseases.

For acute and chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis and gallstones, doctors have developed special diet, which is called table No. 5.

The physiological needs of the body require that the daily diet have a calorie content of 2000-2500 kcal. The average ratio of proteins should be 80-90 grams, fats – 80-90 grams and carbohydrates – 300-350 grams.

The main information that every patient following a diet with gallstones should know:

the most powerful provocateurs of exacerbation of the disease are fatty and fried foods;

Avoid eating large amounts of food (overeating);

food should be consumed warm (neither hot nor cold);

meals should be small but frequent (at least 6 times a day);

It is strictly forbidden to consume refractory fats and strong stimulants of gastric and pancreatic secretion - products with essential oils, products with high cholesterol content, extracts, spices;

the main diet should consist of fruits and vegetables;

All dishes should be cooked boiled, steamed, or sometimes baked.

Fruits that can be consumed if you have gallstones and cholecystitis

Diet No. 5 excludes the consumption of sour fruits and berries, so it is necessary to avoid cherry plums, mangoes, sour plums, sour apples, cranberries, all types of citrus fruits, and gooseberries.

Many patients are interested in the permissibility of eating grapes and bananas for cholecystitis. The latter can be consumed, and you can also eat papaya, avocado, strawberries, melon, watermelon, and sweet varieties of apples. There are some doubts regarding grapes, since the majority of patients, in addition to cholecystitis, have other pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract (pancreatitis, gastritis), and, as is known, grapes and some other products (kvass, black bread, cabbage) can cause processes fermentation, which leads to inflammation of organs.

Therefore, the most important condition for following any diet is increased control of your condition, and if discomfort appears after taking any product, you should analyze the amount of its consumption and in the future eat less or completely abandon the questionable product.

Vegetables that can be eaten for cholecystitis

There are no restrictions regarding the consumption of vegetables for cholecystitis. You should use white cabbage raw with caution if the patient has pancreatitis, but even then you can eat raw cabbage only in small doses. However, it is worth remembering that if the pancreas is disrupted, you need to eat cabbage baked or boiled. Fans of fermented products should choose a sourdough that is not particularly sour. You can safely consume zucchini, potatoes, pumpkin, beets, carrots, and peas. You should not overuse tomatoes; you can only eat them during periods between exacerbations and only peel them. Eating salted and pickled tomatoes is prohibited. Regarding legumes, table No. 5 excludes them, however, during the period of remission you can eat these products in limited quantities.

Drinks you can drink if you have gallstones

Regarding food, it is clear that it should be steamed, boiled, baked and not be hot, spicy, fatty or fried. Drinking also has its own characteristics. You can safely drink rosehip decoction, beet juice(to get rid of toxins, beet juice should stand in the refrigerator for about 3 hours), tomato and carrot juice, diluted fruit juices, jelly, compotes, fruit teas. It is extremely useful to drink mineral water that does not contain gases “Slavyanovskaya”, “Smirnovskaya”. In this case, it is best to take it 30 minutes before meals. Also useful is weak green tea, however, not packaged.

If you have cholecystitis, you should avoid coffee, especially instant coffee; this also applies to chicory, which, contrary to the beliefs of many, has an adverse effect on the gastric mucosa, which is no different from the effect of coffee. If, in addition to gallstones, the patient is diagnosed with pancreatic or stomach diseases from chicory, cocoa and coffee should be completely abandoned; if this is impossible, their consumption should be limited or drunk not on an empty stomach and diluted with milk.

It is strictly forbidden to drink very cold, ice-cold drinks, and the dangers of alcohol even for healthy body Enough has already been said to understand that in case of cholecystitis, this product should be completely abandoned. It is allowed to drink 50 grams of dry wine on holidays, but this can only be done in periods between exacerbations. You should not forget to listen to your own body when taking any food.

What foods can and cannot be eaten with cholecystitis?

Bakery products

Today, a large number of families purchase home bread machines to make their own bread. Freshly baked products are not recommended for consumption for patients with cholecystitis; it is better to wait a day or two and eat the bread in a dried form; it is also worth noting that the bread should not be rich. If you have stones in your gall bladder, you should avoid all shortbread and puff pastry products. All pancakes, pancakes, cakes, and pastries should be excluded. In addition, given the tendency of industrial confectionery production to use cooking fats (mainly palm oil), which are practically poisonous, it is quite obvious that consuming store-bought baked goods is dangerous even for a healthy body. However, you can safely eat yesterday’s baked goods made from rye, peeled, wheat flour and bran bread. In addition, pies made from simple dough with apples, meat, cottage cheese, and fish are safe.

Soup with steep broth

Steep broths made from mushrooms, duck, chicken, fish, and meat have a negative impact on the entire digestive system. It is necessary to exclude such broths from the diet and switch to vegetable soups. If it is very difficult to refuse such broths, then as an alternative you can use highly diluted broths from lean meats. Based on them, you can later prepare borscht, beetroot soup, soups, and cabbage soup.

Fatty meats – fatty chicken, beef, lamb, pork, duck, goose

Fatty meat must be completely removed from the diet. Meat products can only be prepared using lean rabbit, poultry, beef, and boiled, and such dishes should be consumed in limited quantities. You can use boiled meat in the form of minced meat to prepare steamed cutlets, meatballs, casseroles, and each piece of meat must be chewed thoroughly.

Sausages, sausages

Today the most convenient and affordable product are semi-finished meat products, which are presented in abundance on the shelves of shops and supermarkets. These products are the most harmful because they are highly chemicalized: they are stuffed with additives of unknown origin, preservatives, flavor enhancers, and are dangerous not only for people with gastrointestinal problems, but also for absolutely healthy citizens. You should not hope that “diet sausages” and “children’s sausages” do not contain the above “ingredients”. Such foods should be completely excluded from the diet in case of pancreatitis or chronic cholecystitis. You need to understand that the name of such products is just a marketing ploy.

Seeds, honey and nuts for cholecystitis

If there is no allergy to bee products, then consuming honey for cholecystitis is allowed. Regarding seeds and nuts, the restrictions are only in purchasing unrefined products and cleaning them immediately before consumption, and in moderate doses.

It should be remembered that the shelled nuts presented on the shelves of domestic stores cannot be eaten. During cleaning, processing and transportation, they undergo oxidation of the fats they contain and become rancid. Oxidized fats in nuts create additional stress on the gallbladder, liver and pancreas. The issue with pine nuts, which are imported from China, is especially acute. It is strictly prohibited to use them for cholecystitis.

Eggs, fish

By analogy with meat, fatty fish (salmon, sturgeon, beluga, sturgeon, catfish) should be excluded from the diet, and pike, hake, carp, cod, pike perch can be safely used for cholecystitis. Do not forget that fried food is prohibited if there are gallstones, so you need to cook the fish boiled, baked or steamed. Research has repeatedly proven that when fish is fried, it loses all its beneficial properties, so the diet not only prevents exacerbations, but also allows you to get all useful substances from fish.

There are practically no restrictions regarding eggs. They can be eaten in a bag or soft-boiled, as part of an omelet or other dishes. The only limitation is fried eggs and hard-boiled eggs.

Dairy products

Milk soups with cereals and pasta have exceptional benefits. It is forbidden to consume fatty sour cream, cheeses, fermented baked milk, cream, cottage cheese, and milk. You can drink milk if you have cholecystitis, especially if you add it to tea; you can also eat mild cheeses (Russian, Dutch), low-fat sour cream, low-fat cottage cheese, and condensed milk.

However, it is worth remembering that the domestic market is full of low-quality goods, so even “homemade” dairy products may contain various additives. Tons of palm oil are exported to Russia, which is exclusively harmful product, even in other products.

And today palm oil It is added to butter, ice cream, cottage cheese, cheese and other dairy products, and the presence of such oil in chocolate, confectionery, and baked goods no longer surprises anyone. But this type of oil is very harmful to the gastrointestinal tract.

What to do in such a situation? It is necessary to purchase only high-quality products from trusted manufacturers and not to chase cheap products, since a low price is a direct indication of the use of various substitutes. This also applies to cakes, ice cream and glazed cheese curds. Their production does not use natural cream and milk, but dry substitutes, which undergo numerous chemical treatments during production. Such products cause significant harm to the human body and gall bladder. It is very difficult for the pancreas and liver to cope with such ingredients.

Marinades, canned food, smoked meats

Any canned food smoked fish, sausages, canned fish and pickled vegetables are prohibited for consumption with cholecystitis.

Plant products

Sorrel, radish, spinach, garlic, radishes, and green onions should be excluded from the diet. Seasonings you should not use include ginger, mayonnaise, hot ketchup, mustard, horseradish, pepper. Allowed spices include bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon, vanillin, parsley, and dill.

Crumbly and semi-viscous porridges, especially buckwheat and oatmeal, have exceptional benefits. If you wash the cereal in the evening, pour boiling water over it and add salt, and use it warmed up in the morning, this is best way preservation of vitamins and useful properties these products. Also, to diversify the menu, you can prepare casseroles from pasta and cereals, make puddings, pasta and vegetable side dishes.
