Patient's question:
I have chronic atrophic gastritis and duodenitis. Can I eat oranges?Doctor's answer:
Oranges can be eaten, but they may increase stomach acid levels, which can lead to stomach pain. It is recommended to eat them after meals, preferably during the day rather than at night, to prevent stomach acid from damaging the stomach and duodenum. For patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is important to maintain a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude greatly assists in the complete recovery from the disease.
