Patient's question:
After getting gastritis, I have been very cautious about what I eat in daily life. However, recently, due to training reasons, I always feel like my gastritis is recurring. My friend told me that drinking red wine can help take care of the stomach. I wonder if people with gastritis can drink red wine?Doctor's answer:
A small amount of red wine consumption is beneficial for cardiovascular diseases, as it can reduce the incidence of such conditions, but it may also enhance the harm to the gastric mucosa from the gastrointestinal tract. It is not recommended for patients with chronic gastritis to drink alcohol, even in small amounts, to avoid exacerbating gastric mucosal damage. It is advised to consume easily digestible foods, stop smoking, including red wine, and avoid spicy foods. During daily life, patients should maintain a positive mindset to better receive treatment.
