Nutrition for rotavirus in adults in the early days, table, recipes

Rotavirus is considered a viral disease that is accompanied by symptoms of poisoning and ARI of the initial stage. The disease is transmitted by inhalation or through food within 1-3 weeks from the moment of infection. In order for adults to get rid of the infection, it is required to take medication, as well as adhere to a medical diet.

The purpose and purpose of gentle nutrition, table

Nutrition for rotavirus in adults must be balanced. As a result, this will be the key to a quick recovery. Due to a properly composed diet, a large amount of biologically active components will enter the body, which will allow you to restore strength and normalize the activity of the immune system.

At the initial stage of the disease, the body will be very weak. In this regard, for the amendment, he will not have enough of his own energy reserves. If the diet is wrong, the amount of energy will not be spent on recovery, but on the digestion of food. Due to this the diet is required to be composed of foods and products that will be easily absorbed by the digestive tract.

Together with medication, a balanced diet will help alleviate the symptoms of the disease.

It is highly discouraged to refuse food even during the acute stage of the course of the disease.

When compiling a sparing diet, doctors basically adhere to the Pevzner diet. In the acute stage, vomiting and diarrhea appear, due to which there is an intense loss of essential minerals and dehydration. For this phase, you must adhere to dietary table number 4. At the recovery stage, table No. 13 is used.

Therefore, it is required to additionally use a therapeutic diet, which consists of the following rules:

• Medical nutrition should be drawn up at the first sign of illness.
