Patient's question:
My cousin is particularly busy with nursing and often accompanies clients to drink beer. Due to excessive beer consumption, he later developed erosive gastritis. He took medicine for a long time, and finally it improved a bit. Yesterday, someone asked him to drink huangjiu (Chinese yellow wine). Hello, can people with erosive gastritis drink huangjiu?Doctor's answer:
Erosive gastritis cannot consume yellow wine. Gastritis also cannot consume beer or alcoholic beverages, as alcohol can easily irritate and damage the gastric mucosa, further exacerbating symptoms such as acid reflux, belching, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. The onset of chronic gastritis is related to irregular eating habits, long-term smoking, drinking alcohol, and Helicobacter pylori. Therefore, in daily life, it is important to avoid overeating and ensure regular meals.
