Gastritis with erosive gastric polyps, dietary principles to know

The most common cause of gastritis is irregular diet. People with irregular work and rest habits are also prone to gastritis. For gastritis, you should eat small meals frequently, and it is best not to eat two hours before going to bed. Develop a scientific work and rest schedule and life routine.

1. Dietary principles

1. Efforts should be made to eliminate the inducing factors. For example, thoroughly treat chronic gastritis, avoid spicy and hard foods and medicines that irritate the stomach, treat chronic infections in the mouth and throat, etc.

2. Eat easily digestible and non-irritating foods, such as semi-liquid or low-residue foods.

3. Eat small meals frequently and avoid foods that are mechanically or chemically irritating and raw or cold foods.

4. It is advisable to provide foods rich in protein and multiple vitamins, such as fresh tender leafy vegetables.

5. People with excessive stomach acid should avoid eating concentrated soups such as thick chicken soup, acidic foods, large amounts of protein, etc. to avoid increased stomach acid secretion. It is advisable to eat soy milk, vegetable puree, porridge, etc.

2. Daily care of gastritis

1. Patients with gastritis should avoid eating two hours before going to bed. Eating frequently within two hours before going to bed can easily cause the sphincter to relax, leading to gastric acid reflux into the esophagus. Some people are accustomed to eating midnight snacks and going to sleep on their backs with a full stomach, which also makes it easier for stomach acid to reflux.

2. Eat small meals frequently. In order to prevent the occurrence of stomach problems, you should have a regular diet, avoid overeating, drink in moderation, and eat less irritating foods. Acute gastritis has an acute onset and severe symptoms. The patient's diet should be mainly liquid foods such as rice soup, lotus root powder, and porridge. After the condition improves, you can give noodles and soft rice.

3. Avoid eating too much MSG, spicy and sour, and overly salty foods. You should mainly eat light food. Excessive consumption of strong, sour and spicy food will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and aggravate the condition. But a small amount of ginger and pepper can warm the stomach and enhance the protective effect of the mucous membrane.

4. Avoid eating coarse grains, high-fiber vegetables, spicy foods, tobacco and alcohol. 3. People with gastric mucosal congestion and edema should eat a low-fat, low-salt, residue-free diet, with appropriate amount of protein. Those with obvious erosion and bleeding should fast.
