If a patient develops such a terrible inflammatory pathology of the digestive system, like Barrett's esophagus, special attention should be paid to a special diet. Any treatment that will be used can not be considered complete if the correct diet is not observed. Only it will help to free the patient from the problems associated with this disease.
It is correctly said that "the like is treated like that".This situation occurs with this disease. Once it has arisen because of significant violations in the diet and eating foods that are inappropriate for the proper functioning of the digestive organs, then the basis for any treatment for Barrett's esophagus should be precisely a strict diet that is designed to facilitate the work of the digestive organs.
Very often in patients diagnosed with this inflammatory pathology of the digestive tract, the question arises: "What can not be eaten"?Interest in it arose not in vain, because everyone knows that any inappropriate product will immediately cause an aggravation of the inflammatory process in the mucosa and will nullify all the positive results achieved in the treatment.
You should never eat sharp, acidic, salty and smoked foods in the Barrett's esophagus, as they increase gastric secretion, which increases the production of hydrochloric acid.
It, in turn, when the upper valve of the digestive organ is not completely closed, will be thrown out of the stomach and irritate the esophagus mucosa, causing irreparable damage to it. The result of non-compliance with the diet will be an exacerbation of Barrett's metaplasia.
Menu with Barrett's esophagus
When compiling a menu appropriate to this disease, it should be taken into account that it should include only dietary food. The basis of it should be viscous porridge and mucous soups. Important functions of the diet prescribed for this disease include the following:
- If it is observed, the consumption of aggressive products decreases and, accordingly, the risk of disease progression decreases;
- Correctly selected dishes help to avoid possible complications;
- The load on the digestive organs is reduced, which, accordingly, leads to a better absorption of medications.
A diet with Barrett's esophagus suggests that the patient who observes her should not eat anything that irritates the mucous membranes of the digestive organs. Their list is specified by the specialist after the necessary diagnosis for this disease has been carried out.
