Patient's question:
Every time I eat dumplings, I always feel disgusted. Just two cloves of raw garlic. I also smoke in my daily life, but during this period when I was doing a thorough check-up in the hospital, I found that I had superficial gastritis. Can gastritis patients eat raw garlic?Doctor's answer:
Garlic has the effects of sterilization and disinfection, and besides its strong irritant, it is recommended that people with gastritis avoid eating it. Raw garlic is relatively better, while cooked garlic can be consumed. People with gastritis should pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, eating less spicy and irritating foods, and focusing on gentle and light meals. Additionally, they should also use drugs such as omeprazole, sucralfate, and lactase together for treatment.
