If patients with chronic gastritis often experience emotional anxiety and tension, leading to insomnia, irritability, reduced food intake, and indigestion, this may result in weight loss. Patients with chronic gastritis should not binge eat; they should eat regularly, maintain a diverse diet, and consume plenty of vitamin-rich fresh vegetables and fruits. They should avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as strong tea, coffee, and hard liquor. It is also important to quit smoking and avoid medications that damage the gastric mucosa.
