It is always difficult to give up conventional products. Especially if a rigid diet restricts all the most delicious( and most harmful, respectively).Fortunately, the familiar macaroni fall into the category of allowed products and can remain on the table with patients with pancreatitis or cholecystitis. Of course, some restrictions are present in their attitude.
How to choose pasta
Like any product for a sick pancreas, macaroni in pancreatitis should be of high quality. Only in macaroni of solid wheat varieties:
- contains 4.3 g of protein, 0.9 g of fat and 64 g of complex carbohydrates;
- calorie content is only 115 kcal per 100 g of product;
- vitamins B1, B2, B9, E, PP, H, E, helping to maintain energy;
- minerals;iron, potassium, manganese, silicon, fluorine, iodine, chromium, molybdenum, manganese, chlorine, calcium, sulfur, cobalt, sodium and phosphorus;
- is an amino acid tryptophan, the function of which is to provide quality sleep, and, therefore, the full functioning of the body during the day.
They are nutritious, well saturated, but they do not pose a threat to recover. In order for the body to get all this, you need to make sure that the shelves are just a quality product. But with this many have serious problems. On the shelves a huge selection from different manufacturers. There are domestic and imported products, with different markings. Helpful sellers describe each of them in rainbow colors. But is it really so?
If the pasta is Italian, it is automatically implied in the composition of flour of solid wheat varieties. Otherwise, the product is called pasta. Domestic product is labeled "Group A. The highest grade".All other macaroni can not be used for diseases of the pancreas or gallbladder.
In addition, we must remember that, like all quality products, pasta from durum wheat is expensive, even domestic producers. And if the import prices are in the domestic price, you will have to carefully study the packaging. Most likely, we are talking about pasta, which is often written only in the native language.
Special note for exacerbation of
When exacerbating pancreatitis or cholecystitis, pasta is not recommended for use. The thing is in a lot of fiber, which overloads the sick organs. In addition, the pancreas in this state reacts poorly to a large number of carbohydrates. As a result, the intestinal peristalsis and bile secretion intensify, provoking attacks of pain and other unpleasant symptoms. The flowing bile enters the ducts and irritates their walls, increasing the inflammation in the affected areas.
But for the introduction of macaroni of solid varieties in the menu, one does not have to wait for complete remission, enough remission of symptoms. However, the way of cooking at the initial stage is rather unusual. Spaghetti is broken 2 cm long, boiled for half an hour to soften and lose calorie. After this, you can fill with a drop of melted butter or unrefined olive oil.
You can start with 2 tablespoons and allow a maximum weight of the finished product - 200 g.
The use of thicker types of pasta will have to be postponed until better times.
Remission period
When a remission occurs, pasta from soft wheat varieties should not be introduced into the diet. They remain banned food, because long digest and overload the sick organs. In addition, pasta can not be fried, undercooked or strongly salted. All this provokes an exacerbation of the disease. But at this time you can diversify the menu with a small number of other products. If at such an amount they can not be a separate dish, you can use them for a variety of recipes for pasta:
- Macaroni in a Fleet manner
You can afford a habitual dish by digesting macaroni a little longer, allowing only the salt from the spices and limiting the amount of fat. You can add 2 tbsp.spoons of chopped boiled chicken fillet, or the same amount of fat-free cottage cheese, and then mix thoroughly.
For those who tolerate the chicken liver well, you can use it in boiled and chopped form.
- Macaroni with cheese
Boil the pasta, season with salt and a drop of oil, sprinkle with hot grated cheese of soft varieties. A habitual dish will get a new taste.
- Casserole with curd
Boil the pasta for a portion, cool. Add 2 tbsp.spoons with a slice of fat-free cottage cheese, 1 beaten egg. It is better to take a glass baking dish by wiping it with sunflower oil. Put the prepared mass, grease with yogurt and cover with a lid, so that a crust is not harmful to the sick. It is enough to bake in a heated oven for 15 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.
- Homemade Paste
For lovers of home cooking, you can independently make pasta. But they are often not worth it, because flour from hard wheat varieties can rarely be found on store shelves, and with ordinary flour, a higher pancreatic load is obtained.
Knead a steep dough from 1 egg and a few spoons of flour, which is gradually added to the dough. Roll out to a thickness of 1-2 mm, sprinkle the dough with flour, roll into a roll and cut into thin strips, quickly sorting it into fibers. This test is enough for a full portion.
The ready-made pasta can be boiled right away or dried in reserve, but it's more tasty to weld it all at once. To do this, throw in slightly salted boiling water, drain after 7 minutes, rinse, season with taste according to diet or use as a basis for the above described dishes.
- Nests with vegetables
Can I serve a diet dish on the festive table? With macaroni it is possible to prepare beautifully and tasty even from dietary products. Boil pasta varieties "Nest", prepare for them filling. To do this boiled and chopped chicken fillets beautifully put in pasta, make a dent and fill it with grated fresh cucumber. Top with parsley or dill, to taste. For those who do not adhere to a diet, serve separately any tomato sauce or adzhika.
- Fish seashells
Large shells boil, put on a platter. The filling should be prepared from chopped fish fillets of any lean sea fish, boiled with chopped carrots and a pinch of dill. Gently pack it into the seashells and the dish can be served on the table.
Macaroni can be used as a side dish to vegetable salads and vegetables, they are perfect for boiled and baked fish. The main thing is not to overload the body, using a large amount of fat, re-salting water for cooking or simply using too large portions. Even during the period of complete remission, the body reacts worst to excessively large portions of food, so the norm in eating macaroni is a serving of 200-300 g.
