Description of the disease and symptoms
Colitis is an inflammatory process in the large intestine.
The disease can develop due to intestinal infections, poor diet, exposure to radiation, and severe poisoning. Less commonly, pathology is caused by worms, taking antibacterial drugs, and stress. Symptoms depend on the type of disease.
Most often observed:
- increased gas formation, bloating;
- pain that increases with palpation;
- dehydration;
- loss of appetite;
- diarrhea, blood in stool;
- general asthenic condition;
- elevated body temperature.
Types and forms of colitis
There are several types of pathological process:
- Ulcerative. Accompanied by the appearance of ulcers in the intestines. An increase in body temperature is periodically observed, and constipation occurs. In severe cases, joint pain and blood in the stool are noted.
- Spastic. Most often it develops due to excessive nervous tension. Characterized by increased gas formation, bloating, and abdominal pain.
- Ischemic. Develops with peritonitis, intestinal obstruction. Accompanied by rapid loss of body weight.

For intestinal colitis
New products are used for each meal. The serving weight is no more than 300 g. New dishes are introduced into the diet gradually, in small quantities. If discomfort occurs after consuming any product, it is temporarily excluded from the menu and reintroduced no earlier than after 1-2 months.

NUTRITION FOR ENTEROCOLITIS
Enterocolitis is an inflammation of the small intestines with simultaneous damage to the large intestines, characterized by diarrhea or, conversely, constipation.
In acute enterocolitis, which is accompanied by frequent diarrhea, the body becomes depleted of fluid, and this leads to dehydration. Therefore, in the first two days of whiteness, you need to sharply limit the amount of food, and to quench thirst and prevent dehydration, drink hot, strong tea without sugar.
Rice water and blueberry jelly have a beneficial effect on the intestines. On the third day, the patient is allowed food that promotes the excretory and motor functions of the intestines and which would weaken fermentation processes. To do this, limit calories to 200 calories, reduce the amount of carbohydrates to 200 g, fat to 60 g, salt to 5 g, and increase the amount of vitamins A, B, C, PP. Food is prepared pureed and boiled and taken 5-6 times a day.
For acute enterocolitis, the following products are recommended: white stale bread up to 200 g per day, butter up to 40 g, sugar up to 60 g, mucous soups with water from rice or oatmeal, wheat bran, meat broth with semolina or rice, cream soup in meat broth. For second courses, we recommend lean beef, pureed chicken, lean boiled fish, semolina porridge, rice porridge, oatmeal in water with butter, fresh pureed cottage cheese. For dessert they use blueberry jelly, made from cherries, black currants, raspberries, strawberries, jelly and juices from oranges, tangerines, and lemons.
Patients receive such nutrition until the acute symptoms in the intestines disappear, then the menu can be expanded. Painful processes in the intestines can occur as a result of excessive consumption of unripe fruits, peas, beans, cabbage, and black bread. The manifestation of putrefactive dyspepsia is observed in those who consume stale food. Treatment in such cases begins with fasting, followed by an apple day, on which the patient can eat up to one and a half kg of apples in small portions, then switch to a diet with a limited protein content and a moderate increase in the amount of carbohydrates. From the 10th day, meals can be with a normal protein content. It is very useful to spend a berry day using fresh berries - strawberries, wild strawberries, raspberries, 1.5 - 2 kg per day.

NUTRITION DURING THE PERIOD OF EXCERNSATION OF THE DISEASE
During the period of exacerbation of the disease, it is necessary to protect the intestine from mechanical influences as much as possible.
After a short-term water-tea diet, which lasts from 6 to 12 hours, food is prescribed consisting of weak meat broth or pureed soup, chopped meat cutlets or fish cutlets. Allowed are rice or semolina porridge, puddings with water or milk, cottage cheese pureed with sugar, fruit jelly, jelly, white crackers, eggs (at first only the yolk, and then whole, hard-boiled). For dessert, jelly and infusions of blueberries or black currants are desirable. You should not eat raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, black bread, fresh berries, or canned food.
If there is an inflammatory process in the small intestine or colitis with copious foamy stools, you need to increase the amount of protein. The meat and cottage cheese are pureed, the fish is lean, river fish, eggs are healthy. Food is taken 5 times a day. Food and drink are given warm, because cold foods and water speed up the passage of food gruel and cause increased bowel movements.
As the condition improves, the menu expands. Vegetables in the form of puree begin to be introduced into the diet, then chopped and boiled fruits. Crackers are replaced with stale, dry white bread.
