Patient's question:
I have had gastritis for several years. Usually, when my gastritis flares up, it is controlled with medication. Moreover, every time I eat fried or irritating foods, I experience stomach discomfort again. Therefore, I pay close attention to my diet. But this time, I suddenly have a strong craving for vermicelli. Can people with gastritis eat vermicelli?Doctor's answer:
Young woman, after a thorough examination for gastritis, it is acceptable to consume vermicelli in this condition. In terms of diet, there are no urgent issues, but it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, eat less spicy and extremely cold irritating foods, and drink less strong tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, etc. When symptoms recur, you can take acid-reducing medications such as rabeprazole enteric-coated capsules, and gastric mucosal-protecting medications such as bismuth potassium citrate granules. Wishing you a happy life.
