Chronic gastritis commonly presents symptoms such as bloating, stomach pain, belching, acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, etc. These symptoms may recur periodically. A definitive diagnosis of chronic gastritis can be made through gastroscopy. Treatments include acid suppression, gastric protection, enhancement of gastric motility, and protection of the gastric mucosa. Special attention should be paid to diet in cases of chronic gastritis. What should be avoided in the diet? Firstly, smoking and drinking alcohol are prohibited, as well as drinking strong tea and coffee. Foods that are fatty, rich, or greasy should not be consumed, and neither should fried, grilled, spicy, or cold dishes. Foods such as milk, soy milk, sticky rice, and sweet potatoes can lead to excessive secretion of stomach acid and some can cause gas, resulting in symptoms of bloating. Therefore, these types of foods should also be consumed less, or even avoided. So, what should we eat? It is best to consume foods that are easy to digest, such as porridge and soups, as well as noodles that are cooked until very soft. Meat is also acceptable but should be cooked or stewed until very tender, as this will not overburden the stomach and will not adversely affect chronic gastritis.
