Diet for acute cholecystitis
Acute cholecystitis is usually accompanied by severe abdominal pain and disorders of the entire organism, in some cases even require surgery. One of the methods of conservative (without surgery) treatment of acute cholecystitis is a diet that is based on the principle of maximum schazheniya entire digestive system. To this end, in the first days of illness of only the recommended liquids. Assign a warm drink - rather weak sweet tea, juice of sweet fruits and berries, half diluted with water (eg grape), broth hips - 2-3 cups a day in small portions.
After 1-2 days (depending on the alleviation of pain) is given in limited quantities mashed foods: mucous and pureed soups (rice, oat), mashed rice or oatmeal, jelly, jelly, mousse of sweet fruits and berries.

The food given to small meals 5-6 times a day. Usually 5-7 days after onset of the disease is assigned a diet number 5a and after the disappearance of acute events (3-4 weeks) - a diet № 5. Improper diet acute cholecystitis can turn into chronic.
Diet number 5a - a complete light diet with reduced fat and salt. Proteins and carbohydrates are contained in the dishes in accordance with the physiological norm. Excluded cold dishes, enhancing the processes of fermentation (peas, beans) and decay (fatty meats) in the gut that stimulate bile secretion, the secretory activity of the stomach and the pancreas (spices, smoked, spicy and rich in essential oils

can provide long-term remission (a state without exacerbation) and, on the contrary, violation of supply, quality and quantity of food can cause a worsening of the disease. Diet for chronic cholecystitis is different in the acute phase and in remission.
During remission, patients may not have complaints, they feel relatively healthy, but the diet is necessary for them. Outside the period of exacerbation diet is constructed so that its main components have an active impact on the biliary function, preventing the stagnation of bile at the same time stimulating the secretory function of other organs of digestion. For all patients, first of all, a very important mode of supply: frequent reception of small portions of food at the same hours - it contributes to a better flow of bile. Long breaks between meals also cause bile stasis. A large amount of food is a failure in the biliary system - bile duct spazmiruyutsya (compressed), comes stagnation of bile, which means that the entire process of digestion is disturbed. All major dietary requirements in chronic cholecystitis responsible diet number 5.
With this diet much attention is paid to fats, are best administered in the form of vegetable oils, mainly because of their good choleretic action, stagnation in the amount of fat is adjusted to 120 g But choleretic effect of vegetable oils can also be a contraindication for their use, for example, when calculous (with the formation of gallstones), cholecystitis, as the high physical activity biliary tract can provoke an attack of biliary colic - stone creates an obstacle to the bile. For these patients, the recommended diet with the usual ratio of animal and vegetable oils (3: 1). From animal fats like butter, it is recommended the most easily digested and absorbed. Refractory fats (fatty meats and fish) are poorly tolerated in chronic cholecystitis.
Vegetables, fruits and berries stimulates the secretion of bile, enhances the secretion of digestive glands of other, reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood, eliminate constipation. It is recommended to eat carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, cauliflower, grapes, melons, strawberries, apples, prunes and others. Biliary activity is particularly enhanced by the simultaneous use of vegetables with vegetable oil (such as salads).
