Reviews of nutritionists

- Table number 4 is recommended to be followed for several days. Usually this strict diet is prescribed during an exacerbation, because the main goal is the most sparing diet for the intestines. Be sure to drink plenty of water - about 2 liters per day, as well as salt restriction - up to 6 g per day. You can not eat dishes with a temperature above 62 degrees and below 15. Food must be chopped for better absorption and steamed. Or cook.
- With diet number 4, any sweets are categorically not recommended - all pastries and cakes, marmalades and other sweets are necessarily excluded from the diet. Carbohydrates - up to a maximum of 40 g per day, they contribute to fermentation in the intestines. You should also refuse blackcurrant. The diet is short term. After the diarrhea stops and the pain disappears, the diet is changed to table number 4b.
- The main task of diet number 4 is to limit all gastrointestinal tract irritants: thermal, mechanical and chemical. There should not be any products that cause fermentation, putrefactive and secretory processes in the gastrointestinal tract. Otherwise, you can aggravate the condition. The energy value of the diet is also reduced, and food is prepared in liquid and pureed form. Meals - only small portions, no huge plates of pasta. At night, it is allowed to drink a glass of liquid jelly or one-day kefir. It is not recommended to prescribe such a diet for yourself: table number 4 can exacerbate heart disease. With a lack of weight, the diet is reviewed and adjusted in the direction of increasing energy value.
