Enteritis is inflammatory disease thin, in which dystrophic changes occur in the mucous membrane and the processes of absorption and digestion of food are disrupted.
Chronic enteritis is classified according to etiology, morphology, clinical and functional symptoms.
Based on anatomical and morphological changes, enteritis without serious violations mucous membrane, as well as with a moderate or subtotal degree of atrophy of epithelial cells and intestinal villi.
Clinically, the disease manifests itself in mild, moderate or severe form. Remission and exacerbation phases may occur. Since enteritis is an inflammatory disease, it is necessary to begin treatment at the first signs of pathology in order to maintain intestinal health.
Functional disorders are characterized specific symptoms- impaired absorption of nutrients in the intestine, changes in food hydrolysis, enteral insufficiency and exudative enteropathy.
There may be several reasons for the appearance of disorders in the small intestine:
Lack of proper treatment for chronic enteritis will contribute to dystrophic changes and inflammation in other parts digestive system(pancreas, gallbladder, stomach).
TO external manifestations diseases include any disturbances in the absorption and assimilation of food. These include:
Due to impaired absorption of vitamins, the development of concomitant diseases- hemeralopia, neuropathy, myopathy, cheilitis, glossitis, subcutaneous hemorrhages.
Enteritis in humans is characterized by the manifestation of abdominal pain in the navel area, with palpation the pain intensifies. The syndrome appears 2-3 hours after eating. The pain can have a different character (dull, bursting, cramping).
This occurs due to impaired absorption of bile acids in the distal small intestine. As a result, acids enter the large intestine and provoke disruption of the absorption and digestion processes (diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, rumbling in the stomach appear). These are the signs that enteritis manifests itself.
What it is? If the ileocecal valve (separates the small and large intestines) is malfunctioning, hummus may enter the small intestine, causing it to become contaminated with harmful microorganisms.
The primary diagnosis is made based on a survey and general examination patient, which includes palpation and percussion (tapping abdominal wall). The next step is to carry out a coprogram. Macroscopic examination determines the smell, consistency and color, and microscopic examination determines the presence of fats, muscle fibers or starch in the analysis.
To identify infectious microorganisms and dysbacteriosis in the intestines, it is necessary to conduct a bacteriological examination of feces for enteritis. What it is? With chronic enteritis in biochemical analysis blood, signs of insufficient absorption of nutrients in the small intestine (malabsorption syndrome) can be detected.
Examination of the small intestine causes many difficulties, since only a small part of it can be examined. During endoscopy, a biopsy of the mucous membrane is taken, which is necessary for histological analysis. In it, atrophy and degeneration of epithelial cells and intestinal villi are most often noted.
Allows you to identify tumors, ulcers, changes in the structure of the folds of the small intestine. Before the study, it is introduced into the body contrast agent, allowing to identify enteritis. Your doctor will tell you what it is. To differentiate the disease it is necessary comprehensive examination using modern diagnostic methods.
The symptoms of the disease have much in common with clinical manifestations other gastrointestinal pathologies. Therefore it is necessary differential diagnosis enteritis with gastritis, pancreatic problems and tumors.
Any disease of the small intestine requires a thorough examination, since many similar symptoms entails making an incorrect diagnosis and prescribing ineffective, in some cases even dangerous treatment, which can aggravate the condition of the small intestine.
Acute enteritis requires treatment in a hospital. Patients are prescribed a diet and plenty of fluids. Hydration therapy may be prescribed. Treatment is aimed at overall strengthening of the body and reducing the manifestations of unpleasant symptoms diseases.
If enteritis is accompanied by a severe form of dysbiosis, it is necessary to take medications, the action of which is aimed at eliminating diarrhea through the use of astringents. If a protein metabolism disorder occurs, it is necessary to introduce polypeptide solutions into the body.
On average, the duration of treatment is 7-10 days. During this time they stop acute symptoms diseases, and health is improved. Enteritis, the treatment of which lasts less, is not completely cured and provokes repeated manifestations of unpleasant and painful symptoms.
If the disease is toxic or infectious in nature, the patient must be hospitalized.
For chronic enteritis, treatment is practically the same. The same diet and bed rest are required. In case of disruption of production digestive enzymes they are prescribed in the form of enzyme preparations (Festal, Pancreatin). It is also necessary to take medications to ensure absorption and recovery cell membranes intestinal epithelial cells.
Enteritis, which is treated in accordance with the doctor’s prescriptions, quickly ceases to bother you. However, the chronic form is characterized by frequent phases of exacerbations and remissions.
Concomitant dysbiosis must be treated with eubiotics and probiotics that restore beneficial microflora intestines. If the symptoms of enteritis occur against the background of the appearance of neoplasms in the small intestine (diverticula, polyps), then first of all it is necessary to surgical removal, and only after that can the manifestations of the disease be stopped.
For enteritis, diet No. 4 is prescribed. It includes lean meat or fish that can be boiled, baked or fried. It is imperative to prepare soups using meat, fish, vegetable or mushroom broths. It is recommended to chop vegetables finely; in some cases, even cereals should be rubbed through a sieve.
Among dairy products, preference is given to kefir and yogurt. Such drinks allow you to quickly restore the intestines, improve its functioning and populate it with beneficial microorganisms.
Plant products are best consumed after heat treatment. Vegetables need to be boiled, baked or fried, and fruits can be made into compote, jelly or pureed with sugar. Tea with lemon, decoctions of rose hips, berries and bran will be very useful.
Any disease is easier to prevent than to treat. Measures to prevent intestinal enteritis include:
Subject to all preventive measures development can be prevented digestive diseases and disorders, and healthy image life will allow you to maintain your health at the highest level.
In dogs, the disease appeared relatively recently, but its progression causes high mortality among puppies. The infection, which affects the intestines of animals, is not dangerous to humans, but quickly develops in the body of young dogs and causes serious structural and functional disorders.
Enteritis in a puppy is manifested by lethargy, increased temperature, and when stroking the sides or pressing on the stomach area, the dog will arch its back and tuck its tail, which indicates pain. With such symptoms, it is necessary to contact a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Enteritis is understood as an acute or chronic inflammatory process in the area of the small intestine . This pathology leads to disruption of the main functions of the organ - breakdown and absorption useful substances. This disease causes a change in the structure of the mucosa, which provokes problems with the production of intestinal juice and the protective functions of the organ wall.
So what is enteritis? ? This term refers to progressive inflammation of the small intestine. In some cases, abnormal changes can provoke the appearance of erosions and necrotic process. It all depends on the stage of development of the pathology and the cause of the disease.
There are several classifications of this disorder - according to the characteristics of the course, the degree of intestinal damage, and the causes of development.
In medicine they distinguish following types pathologies:
Not all of these species threaten humans. Parvovirus pathology is dangerous only for domestic animals. Is not
contagious form. Therefore the development of suchenteritis in humansobserved extremely rarely. The coronavirus form of the disease is also typical for animals and does not pose a danger to people.Company viral enteritis is an infectious pathology. It is usually diagnosed in children under 3 years of age and the elderly. Development
granulomatous enteritistypical exclusively for domestic animals. In people this type pathology is called Crohn's disease.Follicular enteritis
characterized by the entry of pus into the structure of the intestinal mucosa. As the abnormal process progresses, the intestinal tract begins to fester. follicles . As a result, there is a risk of abscess formation.Depending on the nature of the disease, there are 2 main forms of enteritis:
Depending on the location of the abnormal process, the following types of pathology are distinguished:
It is also possible to develop
reflux enteritis. With this disease, an inflammatory lesion of the terminal fragment of the ileum is observed. This condition associated with cecoileal reflux.Often the disease develops against the background of other inflammatory processes in the digestive organs. At
gastroenteritis damage occurs to the stomach and small intestine. With inflammation of the large and small intestines, development is observedcolitis and enteritis. This condition is called enterocolitis. Gastroenterocolitis is an inflammation of the stomach, large and small intestines.
When pathology appears, functional disturbances in the functioning of the intestine may occur - changes in food digestion, problems with absorption, various enteropathies. With simultaneous inflammatory lesion colon in humans is diagnosed
enteritis and colitis.Each form of pathology has its own code according to ICD 10:
Many people are interested inHow is enteritis transmitted?. You can only become infected with an infectious form of the disease. The main mechanism of transmission is fecal-oral. Infection can occur by contact, nutritional or waterborne means.
The reasons for the development of pathology may be different. The following factors can lead to acute enteritis:
The chronic form of pathology can develop for the following reasons:
There are factors that significantly increase the risk of developing enteritis. These include bad habits, traumatic injuries belly, adhesions in the intestines, damage to the kidneys and circulatory system.
This pathology is characterized by a typical clinical picture. Experts identify suchsymptoms of enteritis:
The feeling of dryness is especially pronounced in complex cases of pathology. This disorder can cause seizures and severe weight loss.
On a note. The acute form of the pathology is characterized by the development of tachycardia and a strong drop in pressure up to a state of shock. Loss of fluid leads to thickening of the blood, which can cause blood clots in the vessels.
The chronic form of the disease periodically recurs. Typically, exacerbations are a consequence of a violationdiets for enteritis. In this case, the following signs appear:
The chronic form of the pathology leads to weakening immune system, which causes various diseases. Sometimes serious weight loss is observed, which entails the development of dystrophy.
Treatment of enteritis in adultsare selected individually depending on the results of a medical examination and the clinical picture of the pathology. The specialist must prescribe whole line research.Diagnosis of enteritisincludes the following procedures:
How to treat pathology, the doctor must decide. Therapy should be aimed at eliminating the cause that caused the disease. It is also necessary to carry out symptomatictreatment of enteritiswhich helps alleviate the patient's condition.
Treat enteritis caused by a virus, it is necessary to infectious diseases department. In simple cases, therapy can be carried out at home. You definitely need to apply for medical care in such cases:
First aid for this form of pathology consists of the use of various sorbents:
In this case, the principle of therapy is the same as for a viral disease. The exception is the need to use antibiotics.Bacterial enteritiscan be treated with the following drugs:
Such medicines only prescribed by a doctor. Self-medication in in this case Absolutely forbidden.
To eliminate the symptoms of pathology and normalize general health, usedrug treatmentand folk remedies:
On a note. Important role compliance plays a role in the treatment of pathology drinking regime. Diarrhea results in the loss of large amounts of fluid. To prevent dehydration, you need to normalize water-salt balance. This can be done with the help of Regidron, Gidrovit and other medications.
Mandatory part effective therapy is gentlenutrition for enteritis. During the treatment of an acute form of the disease, you need to eat foods that help normalize the structure of the intestinal mucosa.
In the first 2-3 days, you should eat slimy soups and dishes that contain little fiber. These include white rice, baked potatoes, boiled vegetables and fruits. On the 4-5th day you can start eating lean meat and fish. Gradually coarser foods are included in the menu.
Diet for enteritisexcludes the following products:
The basis of the diet can be porridge with water, dairy products, tea without sugar. It is imperative to maintain a drinking regime.
With severe fluid loss consequences pathologies may include acute vascular insufficiency. In severe forms of the disease there is a risk of developing intestinal bleeding, necrotic changes or perforation of the affected organ.
With allergic or toxic pathology, there is a risk of damage to other organs. Thus, abnormal changes in the kidneys, liver, and heart may be observed.
With timely initiation of therapy, prognosisintestinal enteritisvery favorable. Recovery in this case occurs literally within a few days. If the acute process is protracted, there is a risk of complications.
In the chronic form of the disease, the prognosis is worse. In this case, remissions are replaced by exacerbations. In this case, the inflammation worsens, affecting new areas of tissue. If left untreated this form illness, everything can end fatal from exhaustion.
Prevention of enteritisimplies healthy eating, compliance with hygiene rules, good processing of products. It is very important to use only clean water, treat chronic diseases in a timely manner and exclude potentially dangerous foods from the diet.
Enteritis in humans occurs quite often and can cause dangerous consequences for good health. To prevent the development of complications and chronicity of the process, it is very important to start therapy in a timely manner. of this disease. To do this, you need to consult a doctor when the first signs of pathology appear.
is a change in the morphology and functional abilities of the small intestine of inflammatory and non-inflammatory origin. Acute illness, especially infectious origin, proceeds quickly and without serious consequences. Chronic damage to the small intestine leads to severe disorders of all types of metabolism (mineral, lipid, carbohydrate, protein) and significantly reduces the patient’s quality of life.
The classification of this disease is based on several principles:
In some cases, it is possible to determine the predominant localization of the pathological process:
The most important component of the classification is the etiology of enteritis, that is, the reasons that provoked the development of clinical symptoms:
Often there is a combined lesion of the digestive canal, that is, damage not only to the small intestine, but also to the large intestine. In accordance with the localization of the pathological process, the following are distinguished:
Issues of enteritis classification are important, since in the treatment various types This disease requires strictly defined treatment tactics.
Clinical symptoms acute and chronic enteritis differs significantly not only in duration, but also in severity metabolic disorders.
As a rule, acute enteritis has infectious etiology, therefore all typical ones are noted:
Acute enteritis, with timely consultation with a doctor and adequate treatment, ends safely. Complications are most likely to develop in young children (first 3 years of life), patients with chronic heart disease and endocrine system. Sometimes a protracted course of the disease and the formation of intestinal dysbiosis are possible.
Chronic enteritis is characterized by periods of deterioration of the patient's condition (exacerbation) and improvement (remission). The clinical picture is dominated not by inflammatory processes, but by dystrophic processes (atrophy of the intestinal mucosa), disturbances in the processes of absorption () and digestion (), and deficiency of one or more enzymes.
Clinical signs of chronic enteritis are appropriately divided into local and general. Among the local ones they note:
Change general condition a patient with chronic enteritis is caused by severe disturbances in the absorption and digestion of nutrients. Clinical symptoms depend on the predominant damage to one or another type of metabolism.
Type of metabolism | How does it manifest itself? |
Protein metabolism disorder |
|
Lipid metabolism disorder |
|
Carbohydrate metabolism disorder |
|
Mineral metabolism disorder |

All patients with moderate and severe chronic enteritis have several similar signs:
The reasons for the development of acute or chronic enteritis are the presumed etiology of the disease, which is indicated in the classification (see above). It is advisable to dwell on possible predisposing factors that provoke the development of this disease. Among them the most significant:
In most cases, a combination of several provoking factors plays a role, especially when it comes to the formation of chronic enteritis.
The doctor may suspect enteritis already during the examination and interview of the patient. During an objective examination of the patient, the following are observed:
To confirm or refute the diagnosis of enteritis, special laboratory and, less often, instrumental studies are required. In the complex diagnosis of acute enteritis, the following are used:
In the diagnosis of chronic enteritis, it is more important to assess the severity of metabolic disorders, as well as the motor-evacuation function of the intestine. For this we use:
Differential diagnosis is a difficult process, even for a doctor, of finding common and distinctive points for enteritis of various etiologies And , .
Therapy for acute and chronic enteritis is significantly different. At acute form diseases, it is necessary to replenish the loss of water-electrolyte balance and destroy the microbial agent. In chronic pathology, it is more important to compensate for the metabolic disturbances that occur.
Includes dietary nutrition and medication prescriptions. Treatment at home is allowed, preferably under the supervision of a doctor.
Consists of refusing to eat and going to bed. If a person has repeated vomiting and attempts to drink even a small amount of liquid lead to vomiting, then help is needed in a hospital setting - intravenous administration liquids. If there is no vomiting, then the patient should drink liquid (mineral water without gas, boiled water) in small sips every 10-15 minutes.
On the first day you are supposed to be hungry. As the patient's condition improves, crackers, low-fat kefir, vegetable soup without meat, and porridge cooked in water are allowed. In the following days, a gradual expansion of the diet is allowed.
All medication prescriptions must be made by a doctor. In complex therapy of acute enteritis the following are used:
The duration of therapy for acute enteritis usually does not exceed 5-7 days.
It is possible to cure chronic enteritis completely only in in rare cases. the main objective therapy - to achieve a long period of remission. The treatment is prescribed by the doctor, and the patient follows all his recommendations at home. Therapy in a hospital is required only in case of severe general condition of the patient and severe metabolic disorders.
Dietary restrictions for a patient with chronic enteritis are constantly indicated, that is, it is necessary to completely reconsider your diet, since some foods must be completely excluded.

Medication prescriptions are determined by the severity of metabolic disorders. Can be assigned:
The duration of use of a particular drug is determined by the doctor.
Poor digestion is the cause of metabolic disorders and deterioration in the patient’s quality of life. Only poses a threat to life chronic illness without adequate therapy. Acute enteritis without treatment, especially the severe version of the disease, can lead to death due to the development state of shock.
There are no universal remedies. Everything that is familiar to every person, such as a healthy lifestyle, can be considered as prevention of the development of acute and chronic enteritis.
Various diseases gastrointestinal tract lead to disruption of the digestive system and can cause serious complications. One of these diseases is intestinal enteritis, an inflammation that can occur in anyone at any age. Pathogenically affecting small intestine, enteritis occurs in different forms and may require urgent hospitalization patient and immediate drug therapy. In this article, the reader will learn how and why the intestines become inflamed, what symptoms and treatment methods exist.
There are two forms of the disease, differing in their symptoms, the nature of the course and the consequences that they can cause.
It occurs acutely and is characterized by vivid manifestations; it is more common in children in early age. With proper and timely drug therapy, the disease can be successfully treated.
If the disease is not treated as required (insufficient or advanced). It is more common in adults as a consequence of acute enteritis. May also accompany various hereditary and autoimmune diseases, pathologies in the gastrointestinal tract.
Attention!
This human organ consists of three intestines: jejunum, duodenum, ileum, according to which enteritis is called jeunitis, duodenitis, ileitis.
Most often, damage to the small intestine occurs together with other organs of the gastrointestinal tract:
Enteritis occurs rarely as an independent disease. Generally speaking, any form of intestinal inflammation can be triggered by problems with the body’s blood circulation, kidney disease, bad habits and insufficient physical activity.
More specifically, the acute form of the disease occurs for the following reasons:
Chronic enteritis has the following causes:
Viral enteritis occurs due to infection and development of pathogenic microorganisms in the human intestine.
Attention! To minimize the likelihood of contamination, it is recommended to drink water after heat treatment, and wash food (vegetables, fruits) thoroughly before consumption.
Actively multiplying, the pathogen spreads throughout the body. Infectious enteritis damages the cells of the small intestinal mucosa and produces harmful toxins. Viral enteritis is manifested not only by intestinal disorders, but also by symptoms of ARVI.
Once pathogenic bacilli enter the mucous membrane, they begin to multiply intensively and gradually enter the bloodstream, spreading throughout the body. They usually cause metabolic disorders, but with complications and damage to other organs, the disease occurs in a septic form.
They produce toxins that disrupt intestinal function. They also cause inflammation and disrupt blood circulation in the intestines, leading to the formation of blood clots in blood vessels.
All of them have a destructive effect on the intestines and cause various adverse physiological, neurological and allergic reactions.
Chronic enteritis is considered a secondary disease that occurs as a consequence of an untreated acute form of inflammation.
The following enteritis symptoms are distinguished:
Attention! (feeling of dryness) is especially pronounced when severe course illness and can lead to seizures and weight loss.
Acute enteritis is also characterized by a decrease in arterial blood pressure up to a state of shock. Due to the loss of fluid, the blood thickens, which can lead to the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels.
Chronic enteritis manifests itself during an exacerbation, which is the result of a violation of the prescribed diet. Has the following symptoms:
Chronic enteritis can lead, for this reason, to the occurrence of various diseases. The body uses up its resources faster, which leads to early aging. There is weight loss up to dystrophy.
Treatment of enteritis in adults is based on a medical examination and patient complaints. For getting complete information diagnostics are carried out:
Based on the data obtained, the doctor determines the form of the disease, its characteristics and determines the course of treatment.
How to treat enteritis? Initially, you need to talk about the need to follow a diet. During treatment of the disease you should avoid:
The patient should eat frequently - at least 5 times a day in small portions. You need to drink up to 3 liters of water and fluids per day
Viral enteritis requires a long recovery period - at least two months; the person continues to follow a diet, takes vitamins, medications that strengthen and restore the intestinal microflora.
To treat the disease the following are prescribed:
Attention! Chronic enteritis can be cured only by giving up alcohol. Smoking cessation is recommended.
After enteritis, it is recommended to restore the intestines and the patient’s condition. Spa treatment in the area of mineral springs (Essentuki, Pyatigorsk, etc.). It should also be emphasized that a patient with chronic enteritis should undergo an annual examination by a doctor.
Enteritis is a common disease in humans: in one way or another, almost every person has suffered from it throughout their entire life, but in modern conditions of low ecology, chronic enteritis is becoming more and more common. Modern medicine offers a sufficient range effective medicines for the healing and restoration of a person after enteritis. In this article, the reader received the main information that will help to recognize the disease in time and take a responsible approach to its treatment.

What it is? Enteritis is a collective term for various pathological processes, causing inflammatory reactions in the intestinal walls. The mucous, muscular and serum membranes may be affected, but the mucous membrane of the small intestine is most often affected.
Inflammatory reactions provoke catarrhal or diphtheritic changes in the intestinal lining and can manifest themselves different character lesions - hyperemia and swelling of the mucous membrane, hemorrhagic, purulent and ulcerative processes.
The provoking factor for enteritis may be long-term use medicines, autoimmune and allergic processes, diseases and disorders in the enzymatic and gastrointestinal tract systems, genetically determined pathologies and much more.
Types of enteritis are classified:
Enteritis can manifest itself as an independent form (primary, idiopathic), or as a secondary, symptomatic form accompanying background pathologies (mainly kidney and liver diseases).
In the development of chronic enteritis in humans, the main role is played by several factors - inflammatory reactions in the intestines develop as a response to constant damaging factors affecting the intestinal walls (irritation, toxins). Such violations become a prerequisite for the development of dysbacteriosis.
Dysbacteriosis, in turn, provokes increased colonization of the intestinal cavity by microorganisms atypical for the intestine (flora and opportunistic organisms), their transformation occurs (their features and functions change), and aggression towards the intestinal tract increases. mucous membrane. The already disrupted digestive processes are aggravated. In the process of the toxic influence of the end products of microbial metabolism, constant damage to the intestinal walls occurs.
The formation of chronic enteritis is facilitated by immunological disorders caused by the development of food hypersensitivity reactions and autoallergy of the body to tissue decay products. With a prolonged illness, under the influence of toxins, the protein structure of the intestinal lining changes, which subsequently plays an antigenic role in the development of autoallergic manifestations.
An important component in the formation of enteritis in adults is weakened processes protective factors and deficiency of IgA immunoglobulin (secretory).
Under inflammatory influence, the processes of enzymatic secretion are disrupted, which leads to dysfunction in the cavity and parietal digestion, and the development of malabsorption syndrome in the small intestine.
Not least important in the causes of enteritis is the motor and tonic functions of the intestine, which are responsible for mixing foods with food secretions and moving intestinal contents through the gastrointestinal tract. With chronic enteritis in adults, secondary disorders are often detected in internal environment body - immune, endocrine and endocrine, nervous, etc.
Symptoms and signs of the disease are variable, and manifestations depend on the form and severity of the pathology. Despite the fact that enteritis manifests itself as an acute and chronic process, more often the initial diagnosis states chronic course.
This is due to the fact that it is bright severe symptoms Adults often try to treat acute enteritis on their own. And it was during this period of “successful” self-treatment symptoms of enteritis in adults, the disease, as a rule, enters its chronic phase.
Extraintestinal signs caused by malabsorption syndrome (impaired absorption functions in the intestine). Based on their manifestations, it is not difficult to suspect problems in the body that manifest themselves:
If the disease is accompanied by cholecystitis, patients experience xerostomia (), an unpleasant bitterness after eating. If the genesis of the disease is due to gastritis, signs of enteritis in a person will be manifested by heartburn, accompanied by an unpleasant odor of belching.
The genesis of the development of enteritis in children is due primarily to a decrease in immune defense child in the background infectious diseases, vitamin deficiency and intestinal dysbiosis, provocative effects of cold drinks and foods rich in fiber. Often, the first manifestations of symptoms of enteritis in children are preceded by gastritis and recent infections.
The stool may be yellow with many particles of undigested food and mucus included. Sometimes stool has a gray color with a characteristic clayey sheen and a fetid odor, which indicates a violation of the absorption of fats. If there is a fermentation process in the intestines, stool may have a foamy structure.
As additional signs speakers:
Otherwise, the course of the disease in children is not much different from the manifestation in adults. Prescriptions of correct and adequate therapeutic procedures for the treatment of enteritis in children are carried out only by a doctor, after establishing the provocative factor and the severity of intestinal damage by inflammatory reactions.
Therapeutic therapy for enteritis is based on complex treatment medications together with a dietary diet. At the same time, the treatment process is not aimed at eliminating causative factor, but has a symptomatic orientation - elimination of symptoms.
Treatments for chronic enteritis include:
The positive effect of drug therapy can be achieved only if certain nutritional rules are observed. Diet for enteritis is the main focus of therapy.
Diet time determines severity clinical symptoms and individual characteristics of the patient’s body. Diet dietary nutrition must be complete, balanced and nutritious. It is unacceptable to exaggerate the diet and “torment” the patient with hunger.
In addition to following the rules that provide for a gentle regime for the intestines (mechanical and chemical effects), the diet should be dominated by: protein food, primarily meat, which helps counteract fermentation processes in the intestines. Main direction in therapeutic diet– this is to restore as much as possible the impaired functions of the intestines and other organs affected by the pathological process.
By influence on intestinal functions, nutrients are divided into groups:
1) Those that affect the functions of intestinal emptying are kefir, fruit juices, black bread, mineral water, fats, fiber-rich foods, salt and cold foods.
2) Delaying bowel movements are foods containing tannins(tannins) - tinctures, juices or jelly from blueberries, cocoa, strong, tart tea, red wine, pureed food and warm drinks, soups with a mucous consistency.
3) Having indifferent properties - fish and meat products, prepared by chopped method, or in the form of pastes, well-baked bread, unleavened, fresh cottage cheese.
Based on these indicators, you can create an excellent menu for the patient. Usually, in a diet for enteritis, dietary (a, b and c) is recommended, for many, this does not mean anything. To put it simply, this means that in case of an acute course with signs of profuse diarrhea, a gentle diet containing normal amount protein foods with limited carbohydrates and no more than 10 grams. salt per day.
Dishes must be pureed or steamed. Total calories daily ration should not exceed 2100 kcal. This type of nutrition should be provided for the first five days. Then you can move on to option (b), for a period of one to two months.
This food option is complete diet with energy calorie content up to 3500 kcal. Products that stimulate gastric secretion and contain plant fiber are excluded. Preparation: boiled and steamed.
A gradual expansion of the diet begins. Products are not wiped. It is possible to include in the diet soaked herring, lean ham, boiled vegetables in the form of salad, up to 200 grams per day, raw fruits and vegetables, juices, herbs (parsley, dill), jellied tongue and fish.
Forecast
In the acute form of the disease, mild and moderate clinical symptoms of the disease quickly stop with proper therapy. Severe processes that are difficult to handle drug treatment, can provoke the development of various complications in the form of intestinal hemorrhages, perforation of the small intestine, necrotic areas or severe dehydration, which requires emergency medical interventions.
The chronic picture is due to periods of remission and exacerbations. Gradual progression worsens inflammatory processes, spreading the inflammatory reaction throughout the gastrointestinal tract and increasing intestinal malabsorption.
Lack of adequate treatment for a long course of the disease is dangerous for severe complications and infection. As a rule, the untreated chronic course of the disease ends in mortality from exhaustion and severe internal disorders.
