Dairy. As part of the Table 1 diet, you can eat whole and condensed milk, as well as cream, low-fat cottage cheese, sour cream and most low-fat fermented milk products. Cheese should be treated with extreme caution – only spicy low-fat cheese (either grated or processed) is allowed in the diet no more than once a week.

Vegetables. In theory, you can eat any vegetables, but it is important to have the right attitude to the way they are consumed. Since on the “Table 1” diet it is important to treat the walls of the stomach “wounded” by the ulcer as delicately as possible, vegetables rich in fiber should be boiled and turned into soft puree, light cream soups, etc.

Cereals. Allowed: semolina, oat and buckwheat, as well as glutinous rice. Wild and brown rice are prohibited. You can eat pasta, but they should be medium-sized in shape, ideally – the smallest caliber vermicelli.

Fruit and desserts. The Table 1 diet encourages the consumption of any ripe soft sweet fruits such as peaches, apricots, bananas, plums, etc. In addition, you can use any fruits and berries in mashed, boiled and baked form, as well as in the form of soufflé, jelly, mousses, etc. From sweets, marshmallows, marshmallows, “bird’s milk”, desserts like “tiramisu” and so on are allowed.

The drinks. You can: clean water, weak tea, cocoa, juices, compotes and fruit drinks from sweet fruits and berries. Do not: sweet soda, kvass, sour drinks, coffee, alcohol.

Additional prohibitions. It is important to understand the basic principle of the “Table 1” therapeutic diet – foods and dishes are allowed in the diet that neither chemically, nor mechanically, nor thermally irritate the damaged walls of the stomach and duodenum. This means that everything that enters the stomach must be at a neutral temperature, have a soft (ideally puree-like) consistency, and not be spicy, fatty, sour, smoked. For example: a salad of white cabbage with carrots is categorically impossible, but stewed cabbage “in Bavarian” – you can. From cereals, millet, barley groats, quinoa, and corn groats are prohibited. Legumes are also banned (except for large white beans). The diet should not contain semi-finished products and canned food, pickles and marinades.
