Is it possible to eat persimmons with gastritis of the stomach?
Unlike many other fruits, persimmons do not contain many organic acids. Simply put, the pulp does not raise the acidity level and even lowers it slightly. Therefore, you can eat fruit for gastritis, with the exception of the following cases:
- period of exacerbation;
- erosive gastritis;
- ulcer (also if the condition worsens);
- intestinal disorders, diarrhea.
If discomfort is noticeable in the stomach (in the epigastric region), you will have to reduce the daily amount or completely remove the product from the usual menu.
Benefits of persimmon for the stomach
Persimmon can be eaten both by gastritis pathology and by people with a healthy stomach. It provides certain benefits for the digestive system:
- normalization of peristalsis;
- destruction of pathogenic bacteria;
- improvement of microflora;
- elimination of pain and other discomfort in the stomach.
Maximum daily amount – three fruits
Therefore, the fruit should not be consumed on an empty stomach, nor should it be used in mono-diets. If necessary, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
How to use for gastritis and ulcers
Persimmon can be eaten for gastritis pathology. But the disease has its own characteristics for different people. Depending on this, it is necessary to take into account several recommendations described below.
Low acidity
If the acidity is low, it is quite possible to consume the fruit. It will not harm, since it does not lead to an increase or decrease in acidity.In addition, the fruits will fill the body with vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances.
The fruit is considered a neutral product, so there is no need to worry that it will noticeably reduce acidity. Thus, it is acceptable to include it in the daily diet.
Important! During an exacerbation of the pathology, you can also eat fruit, but no more than two fruits per day. In addition, you should first remove the peel. The pulp can be eaten raw or made into puree or soufflé.
With high acidity
If the stomach produces acid in excess quantities, you can eat the fruits, and in almost any (reasonable) quantities. For gastritis with high acidity, persimmon will not harm. It will also bring certain benefits, for example, it will destroy pathogenic bacteria and improve digestion. In addition, the pulp contains tannin, which will somewhat reduce the manifestation of the disease.
Another positive point is that the pulp strengthens the immune system and normalizes the intestinal microflora. Thanks to this, digestion improves, pain and other unpleasant sensations in the stomach are eliminated.
For stomach ulcers and erosive gastritis
For stomach ulcers, as well as erosive gastritis, persimmon can cause more harm than good. The fruit is not consumed so as not to provoke further inflammation of the mucous membrane. If a peptic ulcer is not accompanied by an exacerbation, persimmon can be included in the diet in limited quantities (one fruit per day).
In case of exacerbation of the disease, erosive gastritis, you should definitely refuse to eat the berry.
During exacerbation of the disease
During an exacerbation of any type of gastritis, as well as during peptic ulcer disease, you should definitely not consume persimmon.Even if you eat one fruit, especially on an empty stomach, it can aggravate the course of the disease. During such periods, careful adherence to the diet prescribed by the doctor is indicated.
In remission
If the stage of remission has begun (i.e., a significant weakening of the symptoms of gastritis), you can eat persimmon. Fruits are eaten in limited quantities - up to two pieces per day. In this case, the pulp is especially useful, which it is advisable to bake in the oven.
In chronic form
Very often, patients are diagnosed with chronic gastritis. It goes through stages of exacerbation and remission, when the symptoms become less severe. In the first case, it is definitely not possible to eat the fruit, but in the second, it is completely acceptable. The product helps prevent exacerbation of gastritis and stimulates digestion. In this case, the daily amount should be small - up to two fruits. It will be better if you bake the pulp in the oven.
Is it possible to eat dried persimmons for gastritis?
Dried or dried pulp is practically no different from fresh. It does not contain water, so the calorie content increases significantly (242 kcal per 100 g versus 67 kcal for ripe berries). However, this does not affect the acidity level in any way. Therefore, the recommendations for consuming the fruit are exactly the same. It can be included in the diet, except in the following cases:
- exacerbation of gastritis, peptic ulcer;
- erosive form of pathology;
- diarrhea.
It is important to understand that dried pulp provides no less benefits than fresh pulp. If the pulp is subjected to heat treatment, vitamin C will be destroyed. Therefore, it is important to use other sources of it (for example, 100 g of bell pepper contains 300% of the daily requirement of this valuable component).
Thanks to gentle drying, the berries retain maximum nutrients
Contraindications
In most cases, the fruit can be eaten for various forms of gastritis. Although several contraindications for use should be taken into account:
- frequent constipation;
- obesity;
- diabetes (with caution);
- inflammation of the kidneys and urinary tract in the acute stage;
- children up to two years old inclusive;
- breastfeeding period;
- pancreatitis;
- postoperative recovery after intervention in the gastrointestinal tract.
Since the pulp contains various substances, some people experience skin redness, itching, rashes and other allergic reactions. If such symptoms occur, it is important to immediately abandon persimmons. If in doubt, it is better to consult your doctor first.
How to choose the right berry
For gastritis and other diseases, you should try to eat only fully ripened persimmons. When choosing, pay attention to several features:
- The color is rich red-orange (the crown is closer to a brown shade).
- The shape is round or flattened.
- The consistency is moderately dense - the fruit should not be too hard and, on the contrary, too soft.
- If there are amniotic leaves, they need to be examined. If the foliage is dry and brown underneath is visible, the fruit is fully ripe.
- The taste should not be astringent. If the fruits are picked unripe, they can be placed in the freezer. This will remove the tart taste.
Conclusion
Persimmons are quite useful for gastritis if you consume no more than two fruits per day. The pulp does not increase acidity and is beneficial to the stomach. If the disease is chronic, it is also acceptable to include persimmon in the diet, except during periods of exacerbation.
