Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up last month and was told I have erosive gastritis. They did an endoscopy, and I found it very scary. I think I really need to take good care of my stomach from now on. I don't want to do another endoscopy anymore; it's too scary. I want to know what foods people with gastritis should eat more of in their daily lives?Doctor's answer:
Hello, first: dietary habits should be regular, with fixed quantities, avoiding overeating to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines. If calorie intake is insufficient, supplementary meals with a combination of solid and liquid foods can be used. Avoid consuming foods that stimulate the stomach and intestines, such as: spicy food, alcohol, coffee, raw garlic, mustard. At the same time, avoid eating hard, overly acidic, spicy, salty, or excessively hot foods. You can drink more milk and soy milk, which can help reduce stomach and intestinal pain. Stay warm and avoid getting cold. Especially when consuming food frozen in the refrigerator, it must be cooked thoroughly before eating—do not eat raw seafood!
