Types of diets salmonellosis

Salmonellosis - an acute gastrointestinal disease in which inflamed and irritated him mucosa. Diet in such diseases is of great importance, as it is food may either increase or reduce the irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.

What is salmonellosis

Salmonellosis - an acute infectious disease caused by a bacterial infection (salmonella) and characterized by lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Salmonellosis may affect mainly the wall of the stomach, small intestine, or colon, and sometimes the gastrointestinal tract.

The source of the disease are most often domestic and wild animals (cattle, pigs, cats, dogs, birds, rodents). Man is infected by eating meat or eggs of animals infected with salmonella.

After 2-3 hours after infection (maximum one day), and the patient shows signs of salmolnelleza. If mainly affects the stomach, it is vomiting, cramping abdominal pain Abdominal pain: Types and Symptoms A small rise in temperature. The disease lasts 3-4 days.

If affects the stomach and small intestine, it is joined to the above signs of diarrhea with watery stool brown or greenish in color with a pungent odor and foul-smelling mucus. The temperature rises to higher numbers also longer disease duration (4-7 days).

If infestation stomach, small and large intestine, in the first days of the disease, and there is still pain in the abdomen cramping in nature. The stools are becoming scarce, composed of muddy green mucus, sometimes mixed with blood. This disease can last for a long time, up to several months.

Salmonellosis may occur very difficult and complicated by acute renal failure, meningitis, hepatitis (liver inflammation), pneumonia.

Diet with acute salmonellosis phenomena

In severe salmonellosis patients are hospitalized, washed stomach. In mild to moderate disease course prescribed fractional frequent drinking of special solutions for severe - the introduction of saline solution intravenously.

Oral solution is usually composed of sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride and glucose are dissolved in drinking water. The solution was allowed to drink in small portions or administered by gavage. The volume of injected fluid must comply with fluid losses from vomiting and diarrhea. Adult patients with moderate course of salmonellosis usually prescribed 2-4 liters of liquid.

Gentle diet for salmonellosis

Once the most acute effects will be, patients assigned light diet (diet №4). Violation of the digestive glands and irritation of the walls of the stomach and intestine require the introduction of easily digestible, chopped, sparing the gastrointestinal tract of food.

Nutritional therapy in acute inflammatory bowel disease Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Symptoms and Treatment   widely used dairy products, vegetables (carrots, potatoes) and fruits (apples, bananas). The use of such food contributes to more rapid disappearance of toxicity (poisoning of the body decay products of tissues and toxins produced by infectious agents), normalization of stool, a shorter course of disease. The favorable impact of the disease on a number of reasons:

• content in fruits and vegetables large amount of pectin - colloid capable of binding water and swell; pectin precipitates on the surface residues of nutrients and bacteria;
• in the acidic environment of the pectin is easily detached calcium, anti-inflammatory effect on the intestinal wall;
• in vegetables and fruits contain many organic acids that kill pathogens.

Particularly useful are the carrots and apples, which have anti-inflammatory effects. They are mechanically cleaned intestine and its spongy mass adsorbed on its way all the harmful substance. Recommended puree of fresh, grated on a fine grater carrots and apples.

Patients with salmonellosis should not use beans, beets, cucumbers, sauerkraut, radishes Radish: useful properties and rules of use . Not recommended number of fruits (oranges, tangerines, pears, plums, grapes) due to poor digestibility peel and interlobar shells.

Patients may be given watermelons, blueberries Benefits and harms of blueberries: the health of the forest Lemons. Recommended jelly from a variety of berries, fruit, rice, semolina, buckwheat porridge on the water (oatmeal is not recommended, as increases motor activity of the intestine). Sweets are limited, as they contribute to fermentation processes in the gut. Permitted white crackers. Protein in the diet should be sufficient amount of cottage cheese, lean meat and fish. Fatty meat, fish, fresh milk is excluded. All products must be well cooked and shredded.

The duration depends on the diet of the patient. But in any case it makes sense to stick to the diet for some time after recovery.

The food that you want to include in the diet

The diet should include foods containing non-heme iron, as well as products that prevent the absorption of heme iron.

Vegetables and fruits

The diet for people with hemochromatosis doctors often include a large number of fruits and vegetables, as this food contains trudnousvaemoe non-heme iron. Vegetables, such as beans and lima beans vulgaris, combined with fibrous food, eggs or food additives Food additives - basic classification   Calcium can further reduce the absorption of iron. Vegetables such as spinach, should be an integral part of the diet for people with high hemoglobin content. The fact that in spinach is contained in a large amount of oxalic acid salt - a substance that effectively inhibit the absorption of heme iron. The oxalic acid salt is not only connected with the iron to form iron oxalate, but also eliminates the properties of the iron contained in spinach. Fruits such as grapes and apricots (dried), contain large amounts of non-heme iron, so their use is encouraged.

Whole grain foods

Many people are asking whether the whole grains is useful for those who have elevated levels of hemoglobin in the blood. Whole grains such as brown rice, tofu and whole grain breads are good sources of non-heme iron and is therefore included in the diet with high hemoglobin Hemoglobin: worse - low or high? .

Nuts

Those who love nuts, but is experiencing, if not increase their consumption level of hemoglobin in their blood, can leave your doubts nuts for them - safe food. For example, nuts such as almonds Use almond: Fertility symbol of peace   or brazil nuts, contains mainly non-heme iron. So Meren amount they will not do any harm

Beverages

An easy way to reduce the body's ability to assimilate the iron is drinking coffee or tea during the meal, since these drinks contain large amounts of tannins, which could affect iron absorption.

Conclusion: the heme iron in large amounts mainly contain products of animal origin. Therefore, their inclusion in the diet does not help to achieve this goal and reduce the level of hemoglobin in the blood. The choice of plant products and carrying out the necessary course of treatment - the most effective way to normalize the level of hemoglobin in the blood.
