Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother has gastritis. The doctor told you that she cannot eat too sour or acidic foods and needs to avoid certain foods. My mother dislikes winter melon. I would like to ask, can patients with gastritis eat winter melon? Will it affect the condition?Doctor's answer:
Winter melon has no interference with gastritis or other stomach diseases. It does not contain any harmful factors for the illness, so gastritis patients can eat winter melon. Eating shrimp and winter melon soup is harmless to the stomach. Pay attention to warm and hot meals to prevent the abdomen from catching cold. It will help in the self-healing of gastritis. It is recommended to pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits in daily life and to eat less extremely cold and spicy foods. Take some vitamin C, exercise more, and pay attention to adding or removing clothes when the weather changes. Try to avoid crowded public places as much as possible.
