Diets are the most effective way to prevent the appearance of urolithiasis and ease the course of an already appeared disease. The diet for phosphaturia is a ban on the use of dairy and dairy products, hot spices, fried foods and large quantities of coffee.
When the disease occurs
If phosphaturia appeared as a concomitant disease, then for a long time it proceeds without pronounced symptoms, but the period of remission is usually short. Exacerbation of the disease can lead to significant deviations from the normal state, which ultimately leads to severe pain and a long recovery.
Primary phosphaturia can occur for the following reasons:
- metabolic disorder;
- diseases of the central nervous system;
- deterioration of the parathyroid glands;
- congenital damage to the kidneys or ureter;
- problems with the absorption of phosphates;
- viral and bacterial lesions.
All diseases as a result lead to the precipitation of phosphate deposits, which provoke the formation of stones in the kidneys and ureter.
Making Nutrition for Adults
The diet for phosphaturia in adults is based on the normalization of acidity, as well as the prevention of precipitation of salts and phosphates in the urine. For the best effect, experts advise using diet No. 14, since it helps to suppress the manifestation of this disease and alleviate symptoms. Nutrition for phosphaturia will be based on the following indicators:
- the amount of calories consumed per day - no more than 2500 kcal;
- a day, the patient needs to drink no more than 2.5 liters of water;
- the salt content in the food consumed is not more than 5-7 g;
- the daily norm of simple / complex carbohydrates is 300-500 g;
- fats - not more than 100 g.
If the doctor has not revealed any particular contraindications to the drinking regimen, then it is allowed to drink 2.5 liters of liquid: this norm includes juices, teas, and decoctions drunk per day.
Recommended Products
It is very important for a patient who is suffering from phosphaturia to strictly observe the balance of vegetable and animal oils: the latter should be on the menu as much as possible. It is very important to abandon heavy insoluble fats, limit the intake of foods high in calcium: nuts, milk, sour cream, cheese.
It is good if cereals, boiled fish, lean meats appear in the diet, which will help increase the acidity in the urine. A large amount of fluid drunk per day is another important action for recovery. It is important to drink before and after meals, but experts do not recommend drinking water with meals.
Acidity recovery
Products that help to quickly restore acidity:
- any green vegetables: peas, cabbage, sorrel;
- fresh fruits and berries: pomegranates, raspberries, green apples;
- cereals and legumes (you can make cereals from them);
- lean meat and boiled fish;
- eggs (only protein is eaten);
- natural sweet foods: beet sugar, honey;
- butter products with a minimum amount of yolk and milk in the composition;
- vegetable oil;
- compotes with a minimum amount of sugar, herbal tinctures, weak tea and coffee.
Nutritionists also recommend that patients with phosphaturia drink mineral water, which leads to an increase in acidity. Mineral water "Narzan" or "Naftusya" is well suited - they contain the right amount of mineral substances that acidify urine. You need to drink mineral water 30 minutes before eating or 1.5 hours after.
Prohibited Foods
Specialists have identified a group of products that are important to completely remove from your diet.
These include:
- any alcoholic drinks (non-alcoholic beer, wine and energy);
- cakes, pastry with creams;
- high fat meat, fat;
- all dairy products.
Creating a menu for phosphaturia
The menu for phosphaturia for adults at number 14 is a complete rejection of fractional nutrition, it is important to eat food 4 to 5 times a day. Fasting or fasting days are prohibited.
Nutritionists compiled a sample menu for patients, which will help to quickly normalize the level of acidity and the general condition of the patient:
- first breakfast: pasta baked with mushrooms and egg white. Cranberry fruit drink;
- lunch: a couple of green apples, dried toast;
- lunch: coleslaw, pea salad, seasoned with butter, buckwheat with chicken breast, soup with cereal. Compote or fruit drink - you need to drink about two glasses, not including soup;
- afternoon snack: any buttermilk without sweet filling, raspberry fruit drinks or rosehip compote;
- dinner: porridge with fishcake, dried toast and compote.
Before going to bed, you can drink a glass of rosehip decoction. If suddenly the patient feels hunger, he can eat a toast or a roll without filling - it is strictly forbidden to starve with a diet. You can process food in any way: cook, fry until crust without animal fat, bake for a couple. Dairy products with phosphaturia are excluded, but one tablespoon of low-fat sour cream, added to the baked dish, will not affect health in any way. Dairy products in this form are allowed to be consumed until 13:00.
If after repeated diagnostics of urine the amount of phosphates in it remains the same, then the disease will have to be treated with medications. Diet is a way to avoid the appearance of phosphaturia or to reduce the likelihood of relapse.
Defeat in children
In the beginning, the child may not feel any changes in the body, but only until the stone reaches a large size. After the stone begins its movement through the urinary system, the baby will feel pain and discomfort. If the stone has pointed edges, then during movement it will damage the ureter tissue and provoke inflammation.
The diet for phosphaturia in children involves the use of:
- all cereals;
- poultry, meat, fish, and other low-fat foods that contain a lot of animal protein;
- pumpkins, zucchini, peas, potatoes, cucumbers;
- any sour fruit.
If there are no contraindications, then plentiful drinking is allowed.
Since the diet with such a diet is very limited, the diet lasts as little time as possible, and the child should be regularly monitored by a doctor and often take a urine test.
After determining a large amount of phosphates in the baby's urine, the diet should exclude the following foods from the diet:
- any sweets: sweets, chocolates;
- Confectionery: rolls with filling, cakes;
- canned and pickled products, smoked meats;
- reduction in the amount of salt consumed;
- the exception of fried foods and deep-fried cooking.
Diet for pregnant
If, after following a diet, a repeated urine test revealed a large amount of phosphates, then the doctor determines the secondary phosphaturia, which can occur against the background of other diseases. Depending on the specific reason for the woman in the position, the specialist will prescribe a comprehensive treatment of the disease.
After determining the cause of the disease, a pregnant woman is prescribed a diet that excludes products that lead to the formation of phosphates in the body and the development of phosphaturia. Diet during pregnancy prohibits the following products:
- vegetables;
- dairy products;
- strong tea or coffee;
- spicy dishes;
- sweet soda.
The diet for phosphaturia in pregnant women should include as much protein production as possible. Of vegetables, more attention should be paid to asparagus, pumpkin, Brussels sprouts. You can add berries to the menu - lingonberries and currants. It is forbidden to eat stale foods, as many of them are processed with phosphates to extend shelf life.
Experts recommend a pregnant woman with toxicosis take different vitamin complexes. To increase the acidity level of urine, it is allowed to add vitamins D, B and A, as well as magnesium.
When dieting, it is important to exercise extreme caution. The use of dietary products should remain within the medical framework, otherwise you can achieve strong acidification of the urine, which will lead to the formation of oxalates with sharp edges. After a week after the start of the diet, you need to re-take a urine test to determine the phosphate count.
