Many modern people do not eat breakfast, and they basically have the same excuse, which is that they don’t have time. In fact, this is really just an excuse, an excuse for people to be lazy. You must know that breakfast is very important for a person’s body. Many people know this but still don’t do it. Let’s talk about what to eat for chronic gastritis.

The onset of chronic gastritis is often closely related to eating habits. Chronic gastritis refers to chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by different causes. The most common clinical types are chronic superficial gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis. The main clinical symptoms include loss of appetite, upper abdominal discomfort and dull pain, belching, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, etc. Moreover, the disease progresses slowly, often recurs, and is difficult to cure.

What to eat for chronic gastritis

Patients with chronic gastritis should eat regularly, at regular times and in regular amounts, avoid overeating, and reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, we should pay attention to daily nutritional supplements. If the calorie intake is insufficient, we can supplement it with a combination of dry and liquid snacks. Eat more high-protein and high-vitamin foods to ensure adequate nutrients in the body and prevent anemia and malnutrition, such as lean meat, chicken, fish, liver and kidneys and other internal organs, as well as green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, eggplants, red dates, etc. Pay attention to the acid-base balance of food.

When gastric acid secretion is excessive, you can drink milk, soy milk, or eat steamed bread or bread to neutralize gastric acid; when gastric acid secretion is reduced, you can use concentrated broth, chicken soup, sour fruits or juice to stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and help digestion. At the same time, you should also eat more stomach-strengthening foods, such as cheese (people with lactose intolerance can drink it), burdock, papaya, fungus, etc.

Bitterness, odor, and dry mouth are symptoms of liver and stomach stagnation and heat

Eat an appropriate amount of vegetables and fruits every day, such as bitter melon, cucumber, loofah and other foods that clear heat, purge fire and promote bowel movements. You can cut the loofah into small pieces and add seasonings to make soup. People with acne on their faces can often eat "Stir-fried lean meat with three melons". Specific method: First, stir-fry 50 grams of pork until half-cooked, then add 100 grams each of bitter gourd, loofah and cucumber into the pan and stir-fry together.

A sour taste in the mouth and loss of appetite are symptoms of spleen and stomach disharmony

During the illness, you can drink some white radish soup, or cut the radish into thin strips, add pepper and fennel and stir-fry until soft before eating. For those who secrete excessive gastric acid, broth should be avoided. They can drink milk or soy milk to neutralize gastric acid, or they can cook the meat and remove the broth before cooking.

Dry mouth and throat, and loss of appetite are symptoms of stomach yin deficiency

During the attack, you can drink some broth, chicken soup, or sour fruits and fruit juices to stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and help digestion. Patients with atrophic gastritis may wish to drink some yogurt, because the phospholipids in yogurt will be tightly adsorbed on the stomach wall and protect the gastric mucosa. For those who need long-term conditioning, it is recommended to add some herbs such as Adenophora, Polygonatum, and Chinese yam when cooking porridge. For example, 20 grams of Adenophora Root, 10 grams of Lycium barbarum, and 100 grams of polished rice can be cooked together into porridge. For those with upper abdominal distension, add 5 grams of rose flowers when the porridge is almost cooked, cook for a while, and add a little white sugar before eating.

Therefore, we know from the detailed introduction in the above article that patients with chronic gastritis should eat more high-protein and high-vitamin foods; they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables every day, and sometimes drink some carrot soup, which are all good for chronic gastritis. Of course, when necessary, they still need to rely on some drugs for treatment.
