General rules
Medical nutrition is an important component of general treatment, especially for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Dietary Table No. 5A according to Pevzner is prescribed in the acute period of hepatitis , cholecystitis and during exacerbation of chronic forms of these diseases.
It is also recommended for combined pathologies - diseases of the liver, gall bladder, stomach and intestines. The purpose of its purpose is thermal, mechanical, chemical and sparing of all digestive organs. It creates maximum rest for the liver, which is important during an exacerbation, and helps normalize its function and bile ducts.
The basic table for these diseases is Diet No. 5 , and this table is a variation of it. Diets 5 and 5A differ in the degree of mechanical and chemical sparing, methods of preparing dishes and therefore are prescribed during different periods of these diseases - Table No. 5A is more gentle.
The mechanical effect of food products is determined by the degree of grinding, their consistency and volume, as well as the nature of processing (cooking, stewing or frying). The chemical effect is due to the substances included in the products. Strong chemical irritants in food are extractives and essential oils. The minimal thermal effect is caused by dishes whose temperature is close to body temperature. All these points are taken into account in this treatment table.
- Contains steamed and boiled dishes from twisted meat and chopped boiled vegetables; only some dishes are allowed to be baked without a rough crust.
- Sautéing, stewing and frying are excluded.
- 5-6 meals a day are provided, in small portions.
- Fats (refractory) and salt are limited, and proteins and carbohydrates are contained in the physiological norm (90 g and 350 g, respectively).
- Increased content of lipotropic substances (cottage cheese, whey, buttermilk, buckwheat, fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids). These substances protect the liver from fatty degeneration, reduce the risk of stone formation and reduce the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels.
- Highly extractive dishes, foods rich in purines and oxalic acid are completely excluded.
- Coarse fiber is not allowed in food.
Inflammatory diseases of the gallbladder are the most common pathology and this diet is most often prescribed for cholecystitis (acute and with exacerbation of chronic). Cholecystitis is infectious in nature, but its development is also caused by stagnation of bile. The disease is characterized by pain, which is pronounced in the acute stage, and the pain can be unbearable. dyspeptic syndrome occurs ( bitterness in the mouth , nausea and vomiting flatulence , diarrhea or constipation may occur .
In the first days of an exacerbation, complete fasting is prescribed to maximize sparing of the gastrointestinal tract. Allowed to drink: weak tea, diluted juices, rosehip infusions. On day 3, the patient is transferred to Table No. 5B , which is indicated for severe pain. The duration of stay is up to 6 days and during this time the patient is on strict bed rest. After 7 days, an extended Diet 5A is indicated, on which the patient remains for 1-2 weeks.
It excludes:
- products that increase fermentation and rotting (legumes, millet, cabbage in any form);
- strong stimulants of bile secretion and gastric secretion (spices, mushrooms, horseradish, pickled vegetables, mustard, salty, fermented foods);
- fiber-rich and sour fruits (citrus fruits, sour plums, cranberries);
- fatty meats, fried, smoked meats, liver, brains, canned food, kidneys, stewed meat, sausages, cream, fatty and sour cottage cheese;
- coffee, cocoa, carbonated drinks.
Mashed potatoes
The same diet is prescribed after removal of the gallbladder or liver surgery, but not immediately. 12 hours after the operation, you can only drink still water (up to 500 ml per day). On the second day, kefir (low-fat), unsweetened tea, and jelly are allowed. All servings are no more than 0.5 cups, taken every 3 hours.
From the fourth day, it is allowed to eat food up to 8 times a day in small portions (150 g each). This can be mashed potatoes (semi-liquid), pureed soups in water, egg white omelet, mashed boiled fish, fruit jelly. Liquids allowed are juices (apple, pumpkin) and tea with sugar. On the fifth day, biscuits and dried wheat bread are introduced. A week after the operation, grated porridge (buckwheat, oatmeal), boiled rolled meat, cottage cheese, fermented milk products and vegetable puree are added. From the third week the patient is transferred to Table No. 5A. For acute hepatitis, this table is prescribed for 2-6 weeks.
For pancreatitis, the same principles of nutrition and restrictions are followed. During an exacerbation, the amount of protein is reduced to 60-80 g, fat to 50-60 g and carbohydrates to 200-250 g, since they stimulate the function of the pancreas. During the recovery period and with chronic pancreatitis, an increased amount of protein is provided, especially in case of exhaustion (up to 120 g), the amount of fat is at the lower limit of normal (70 g) and carbohydrates (350 g), extractive substances (cabbage decoction, meat and fish) are necessarily limited broths) and coarse vegetable fiber. All dishes are served boiled or steamed, chopped. These requirements are better met by Table No. 5P , which has two options (nutrition in the acute period and during mild exacerbation).
Basic diet rules
The goal of a diet for gallstone disease is to provide adequate nutrition, which contains normal amounts of protein and carbohydrates, but is somewhat limited in fat intake.
Thus, it is achieved
- chemical liver sparing,
- its functions and the functioning of the biliary tract are normalized,
- preventing the formation of new stones.
In accordance with the table of treatment tables according to Pevzner, the diet for cholelithiasis refers to table No. 5.
Daily nutrient content in the treatment table for gallstones:
- proteins – 85-90g, of which about 45-50g are of animal origin;
- fats 70-80g, of which up to 30g are of vegetable origin;
- carbohydrates 300-350g (no more than 70-80g sugar);
- table salt up to 10g.
The energy value of the treatment table is 2170-2480 kcal per day.
Diet
Meals in the presence of stones in the gall bladder and bile ducts should be divided, 5-6 times a day.
Frequent meals have a beneficial effect on the function of the gallbladder, promote constant and uniform secretion of bile, and small and frequent snacks have a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive tract, promote better absorption of nutrients, and prevent constipation.
It is especially important to observe eating hours, which set the gallbladder to synthesize bile at a certain time, which prevents hepatic colic.
Culinary food processing
All dishes should be served pureed or crushed, in which case the load on the gallbladder is reduced and it does not produce excess bile, which causes spasms of the biliary tract and provokes colic.
Products must be boiled, baked without crust or steamed. Extinguishing is rarely allowed.
Frying is prohibited, during which oxidized fats are formed that adversely affect the course of gallstone disease.
Food temperature
Food should not be too cold or hot (15-65°C). Cold and hot dishes stimulate bile formation and irritate the gastric mucosa.
Salt and liquid
Some restriction of table salt is introduced, up to 10g per day. Sodium attracts fluid, thickening the blood (and therefore bile), causing swelling.
Free fluid consumption should be at least two liters per day, which allows you to increase the volume of the vascular bed, “dilute” bile and remove toxic substances from the body, including bile salts.
Alcohol
You should limit, and preferably avoid, drinking alcoholic beverages. First of all, alcohol causes spasms of the bile ducts and bladder, which contributes to the occurrence of hepatic colic, and also because alcohol-containing drinks are often served cold.
Food rules
Food should evoke appetite, so it is advisable to eat at a beautifully set table and in a calm environment. Each piece must be chewed thoroughly, which helps to satiate with small amounts of food, facilitates the work of the stomach and intestines and does not overload the gallbladder.
Authorized Products
Diet Table 5A according to Pevzner includes:
- Soups prepared only in vegetable broths with pureed vegetables. You can prepare puree soups and cream soups, milk soups (milk is diluted with water).

Recipes for table dishes Diets No. 5p for every day
The 5P table, especially the extended version of the diet, contains a variety of dishes, so it is not difficult to create a diet for the week. Stews made from chopped vegetables and tender pieces of meat are allowed. You can even make beef stroganoff from pre-boiled meat, and all steamed minced meat and vegetable dishes can be served with milk or sour cream sauce. Milk sauces are prepared in different consistencies: thick and added to minced poultry when preparing cutlets and quenelles, and semi-liquid - to cereal, vegetable and meat dishes. They are prepared with milk diluted with water.
Since recipes can vary slightly (different vegetables in soups or different meat additives), it is not necessary to have a large supply of them. The dish will look different, their taste and nutritional value will also be different. Here are recipes for the most common dishes.
First meal
Milk soup with meat puree
Boiled beef is passed through a meat grinder several times or beaten in a blender and pureed. Mashed rice and slimy broth are added to the meat puree, salted, boiled, allowed to cool slightly and seasoned with lezon (a mixture of beaten egg and milk, which gives the soup a delicate taste). When serving, add butter.
Zucchini and carrot soup
Prepared from a mixture of carrots, potatoes and zucchini.
Carrot-zucchini soup-puree

Second courses
Chicken dumplings with cottage cheese
Pass the chicken meat through a meat grinder several times, add the grated cottage cheese. Mix well, add beaten egg, butter, salt. The cut dumplings are steamed. Can be served with milk or sour cream sauce.
Beef roll with omelette

Semolina pudding with apples
Cook viscous semolina porridge and add peeled grated apples, egg yolk and sugar. Mix the mixture well and add the whipped whites. Pour the mixture into molds and steam for 30 minutes. Serve with fruit jelly. The finished pudding should retain its shape well, be fluffy and porous, and retain the taste of apples.
Reviews and results
Compliance with a therapeutic diet is necessary in the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. If strictly followed, the exacerbation is quickly eliminated. Diet 5A also allows you to improve your general condition and reduce weight. Reviews from patients confirm this. It is relatively easy to carry, but many note some difficulties in cooking - steaming dishes and grinding require additional time.
- “... I was treated in a hospital for acute cholecystitis and cholangitis - they thought there were stones, but everything turned out okay. There was purulent cholecystitis. After discharge I continue to follow the diet, they said up to 3 weeks. I feel good, most importantly, the pain, bitterness, and bloating have disappeared. I admit that it is difficult for me to do it, because I am already tired of ground food. It’s not familiar to a healthy person and I have to cook for myself separately, and when I go back to work there will be even more problems”;
- “... After viral hepatitis, she was prescribed for 1.5 months (she was in a serious condition and had bad tests). They were scared that it could turn into a chronic form, so you need to strictly monitor your diet and it is better to keep the basic liver diet for a whole year, but at least it is easier (almost all foods can and do not need to be ground). And now there is nothing to worry about and the tests have returned to normal. I can say that it is problematic to prepare dishes - I run around with a double boiler and beat everything in a blender. We're a little tired of puree soups, we're not used to them. I had to buy a multicooker - it helps a lot. When I switch to a more extensive diet, I will teach the whole family to eat properly”;
- “... I have chronic cholecystitis, gastritis and colitis. With such a bouquet, during an exacerbation I am in the hospital for 2 weeks and it is there that I receive this table, and some steam and cottage cheese dishes are brought from home. After discharge, I try to follow this therapeutic diet for another two weeks, and then I switch to the main diet - then it will be easier. It goes without saying that dietary nutrition is necessary for such diseases. After 10 days, relief is felt: there is no heaviness in the stomach and under the rib, bitterness and pain in the intestines disappear. In general, I eat healthy, I cook everything in a steamer, and my family supports me. I prepare the same soups for everyone (without fat and frying), and then I blend them a little in a blender. I’ve already adapted.”
