Can a father with chronic gastritis eat dragon fruit?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Patients with chronic gastritis should avoid eating dragon fruit as much as possible. Dragon fruit contains a relatively high amount of acid, which may irritate the stomach lining, cause stomach pain, and disrupt normal gastrointestinal function, thus hindering recovery. In addition, patients should maintain a light diet, avoiding oily, spicy, and irritating foods, pay attention to personal hygiene, and maintain a positive mood.
