Diet number 4 - description and general principles
Diet No. 4 (fourth table) is prescribed for acute bowel disease or chronic, which are in the stage of sharp exacerbation, accompanied by severe diarrhea. The aim of dietary nutrition is to reduce putrefactive, inflammatory and fermentation processes occurring in the intestine, to help normalize the digestive tract and ensure the necessary intake of nutrients in the digestive system. Therefore, products that provoke putrefactive and fermentation processes that enhance intestinal motility (contraction of the walls) and contribute to increased secretion of gastric juice are excluded from the diet.
Due to the reduced content of carbohydrates and fats, diet No. 4 is considered low-calorie, with reduced energy value, which is about 2000 kcal per day. The protein content in the diet corresponds to physiological standards, but the amount of carbohydrates and fats is at the lower boundary. The diet is not complete in the content of useful elements, so it is not prescribed for a long time. The optimal period during which it should be adhered to is limited to five to seven days. More often than not, six days are enough to bring the digestive tract back to normal. In order to avoid increasing the load on the intestine due to the one-time consumption of a large amount of food, it is recommended to distribute the daily volume of food in small portions by 5-6 times. Food is served in a warm form - in a liquid, grated or mashed state.
