Patient's question:
My husband has always had a bad stomach, and sometimes he gets stomach pain. A couple of days ago, his stomach pain was very severe, so he came to the hospital for a check-up. They said he had erosive gastritis. Then, he doesn't pay much attention to his diet, so I'm worried. What foods should he avoid with erosive gastritis?Doctor's answer:
The diet for erosive gastritis should avoid cold, spicy, and hard-to-digest foods, as well as greasy foods, to prevent exacerbating stomach pressure, stimulating the condition, and interfering with complete recovery. Gastritis is primarily caused by improper diet, excessive stomach acid secretion, and bacterial infection that damages the gastric mucosa, leading to congestion and edema. Medications that protect the gastric mucosa, reduce inflammation, and inhibit stomach acid secretion can be taken for treatment. Pay attention to maintaining a regular diet and daily routine.
