Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has decreased, and I can't digest anything I eat. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the diagnosis was chronic gastritis. I'd like to ask how I can eat honey with chronic gastritis?Doctor's answer:
With gastritis, it is possible to consume honey. The treatment of chronic gastritis should begin early, starting from superficial gastritis. First, one should quit smoking and avoid alcohol to eliminate the disease and remove various factors that may lead to sepsis. The diet should be regular, avoiding excessively hot, salty, and spicy foods. The dietary principle for gastritis should be light and simple. Pay attention to food hygiene, especially in summer. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating them raw, and avoid overeating. Strengthen exercise to improve physical fitness. Consume less greasy, sweet, rich, and spicy foods, and drink less alcohol and strong tea. Honey has a sweet and flat taste, with a cooling nature when raw. It can clear heat, replenish the middle, moisturize dryness, invigorate blood, expel toxins, and regulate diet. In addition to its significant anti-inflammatory effects, especially during hot summer days, drinking honey with cold boiled water can relieve heat and fever, making it a good refreshing health drink.
