Can people with gastritis eat eggs?

Patients with gastritis are advised not to eat eggs. Gastritis is a condition caused by inflammatory damage to the gastric mucosa, with main symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and loss of appetite. Eggs are rich in protein, but they also contain large amounts of fat and cholesterol, which may worsen symptoms of gastritis, especially in patients with chronic gastritis. If gastritis patients wish to consume eggs, they should do so with caution—opting for well-cooked eggs rather than raw ones—to help minimize symptom flare-ups. Additionally, patients with gastritis should avoid eating overly spicy, greasy, grilled, or smoked foods, as these can aggravate gastritis symptoms.
