Yersiniosis is an acute intestinal disease that is accompanied by allergic and toxic reactions spread by animals.
The cause of the problem is the bacterium Yersinia, whose danger lies in the fact that it survives freezing and has the ability to multiply in cold conditions.
It enters the human body through animal products, cereals and poor personal hygiene.
Useful foods for yersiniosis
Given that the disease is observed intoxication of the body, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, it is necessary to follow a strict diet with plenty of fluids. With the help of the latter the body gets rid of toxins and restores the water-salt balance.
What drinks are best to take?During the first two days it is best to drink a light warm slightly sweetened tea. Take in small portions so as not to cause nausea.
If you eat something salty, then your body needs sodium and chlorine. In this case, drink slightly salted boiled water.
The need for potassium can be met with the help of oshav, but the cooked dried fruits themselves are not recommended for consumption. Prepare a light vegetable broth by boiling 2-3 potatoes and carrots. Add salt to taste the resulting decoction and drink a little of it.
Nausea is favorably affected by green tea, to which are added a few mint leaves.
The stomach and intestines are soothed with starch. Dissolve some of it in a glass of warm water and drink on an empty stomach.
During the whole treatment to consume:- boiled rice;
- liquid porridges prepared with water;
- unsalted crackers or rusks of high quality bread;
- dried fruit;
- you can eat meatballs from lean minced meat, steamed.
It is necessary to divide the food into small portions of 50 - 100 grams, to be taken every 3 hours.
In case of severe nausea, stop eating at all for a while, but do so at the expense of fluids. When the intoxication decreases, gradually in small portions include in your menu rusks of white bread, which you take with hot tea or oshav. Why oshav? Because dried prunes, apricots, apples, pears and raisins contain all the minerals and vitamins that the body loses in intoxication.
If you do not feel stomach discomfort when including rusks in the menu, include rice and oatmeal in your diet. Prepare them with water and do not add salt.
If the stomach responds normally to the consumption of such porridges, you can then add salt and honey.
When you feel better, add low-fat steamed meatballs to them.
At a later stage, you can exchange your menu with light vegetable soups with cereals. Gradually return to your normal diet.
