Patient's question:
My stomach isn't good, so I have to be cautious about what I eat. Especially, I would never eat instant noodles. So, I definitely wouldn't eat them. But, it seems I can drink yogurt, maybe. Perhaps this has some benefits, right? Who knows? Please help me! Can people with stomach problems drink yogurt?Doctor's answer:
As understood, the proportion of Chinese people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases is far lower than the global average. Gastrointestinal diseases, especially chronic gastritis, require not only timely and effective treatment but also great attention to diet. When suffering from atrophic gastritis, it is advisable to consume more yogurt, as it contains a large amount of active probiotics, which can restore the balance of gut flora disrupted by antibiotics and simultaneously protect the gastric mucosa. Yogurt is an ideal health food, far more nutritious than milk. It not only aids digestion and enhances appetite but also inhibits bacteria, warms the stomach, promotes skin health, and improves sleep. If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, try a bowl of yogurt—it has excellent effects on mild nausea, vomiting, and chronic gastritis.
