Can people with gastritis eat pineapple?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xuemei
Patients with gastritis should avoid eating pineapple. Pineapple has a distinctive sour taste that can irritate the gastric mucosa and worsen symptoms of gastritis, such as indigestion, nausea, and vomiting. Pineapple contains a high amount of sugar, which can further stimulate the gastric mucosa and exacerbate gastritis symptoms. It is also rich in potassium, a mineral that may irritate the gastric lining and aggravate the condition. Patients should follow dietary treatment under the guidance of a physician to help alleviate symptoms of gastritis.
