Dr. He Huipeng
Patients with chronic gastritis should not eat alkaline foods, as these may worsen the condition and hinder recovery. Individuals with chronic gastritis can moderately consume fresh vegetables and fruits. Their diet should primarily consist of warm or hot foods, avoiding particularly greasy, raw, or cold items—especially abalone or seafood. It is important to develop healthy eating and lifestyle habits.
