Esophageal diverticula, also known as esophageal diverticulum, are sac-shaped protuberances of the esophageal mucosa (= esophageal mucosa).

​

Consequences:

• Dysphagia (chewing and swallowing disorders)

• Pressure pain

• Bad breath

• Vomiting of undigested food particles (which are stored in the diverticula (at night)

​

Diagnostics: endoscopy, X-ray

Therapy: Asymptomatic diverticula do not require treatment

In case of complaints: Large diverticula are surgically removed

​

Why is nutritional therapy important?

​

Anti-inflammatory nutrition therapy supports you in reducing inflammation in general and actively strengthening your immune system. You will find out which foods naturally have antifungal (against fungi), antibacterial (against bacteria), antiviral (against viruses) and antioxidant and immune-boosting properties - that is, they are almost natural antibiotics.

​

Dietary principle:

• oral diet depending on the surgical intervention

• Minimally invasive - with the smallest injuries - keyhole surgery or conservative

• Avoid the risk of weight loss and malnutrition

• Needs-based supply: Adjust your diet: consistency, energy and volume

The aim is to provide you with a wholesome, anti-inflammatory diet that contains all of the fatty acids, micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that are important to you, energy and protein (the amount of protein is adapted to your individual needs) as well as secondary phytonutrients so that your body is optimally supplied . For this purpose, foods that promote inflammation are specifically avoided and plenty of anti-inflammatory foods are consumed. Weight reduction is recommended if you are overweight / obese. An anti-inflammatory diet can improve your health.

​

Classification of your weight - definition and classification of weight in relation to height.

Special percentile curves apply to children and adolescents; the BMI cannot simply be used here.

BMI and interpretation: BMI: body mass index. Formula: Body weight in kg : (body height in m) 2

Underweight: <18.5

Normal weight: 18.5 - 24.9

Overweight = pre-obesity: 25-29.9

Obesity grade I: 30 - 34.9

Obesity grade II: 35-39.9

Obesity grade III:> 40 = per magna
