Can people with chronic gastritis drink sea buckthorn?

Patients with chronic gastritis may consume seabuckthorn in moderation, but should pay attention to the amount consumed. As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, seabuckthorn has functions including invigorating the spleen and promoting digestion, as well as relieving cough and removing phlegm. Consuming it in appropriate amounts can promote gastrointestinal motility and alleviate symptoms such as indigestion. However, seabuckthorn is also an acidic food, and excessive consumption may stimulate excessive gastric acid secretion, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and cause discomfort such as bloating and abdominal pain. Therefore, patients with chronic gastritis should control their intake of seabuckthorn and avoid excessive consumption that may lead to adverse reactions. Additionally, patients are advised to follow medical guidance regarding dietary and medication management to promote recovery from the disease.
