Chronic Gastroenteritis: What Should Not Be Eaten
Disease description:
Recently, my husband was diagnosed with chronic gastritis and enteritis, and the doctor said that dietary adjustments are necessary. What foods should be avoided with chronic gastritis and enteritis?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Patients with chronic gastritis and enteritis should avoid the following foods:
1. Hard-to-digest and irritating foods: such as glutinous rice, fried foods, chili peppers, pepper, etc. These foods can increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, irritate the gastric mucosa, and cause discomfort such as abdominal pain and bloating.
2. High-sugar and high-fat foods: such as chocolate, cakes, fatty meats, etc. These foods can increase gastric acid secretion and worsen gastritis symptoms.
3. Overly cold or hot foods: these foods can easily irritate the gastric mucosa, cause diarrhea and abdominal pain, and exacerbate the condition.
4. Unwashed or contaminated fruits and vegetables: fruits and vegetables may be contaminated by pesticides during growth, and consuming unclean produce can cause gastrointestinal infections.
In addition, patients should avoid drinking irritating beverages such as strong tea, strong coffee, and alcoholic spirits. Diet should mainly consist of light, easily digestible, and nutrient-rich foods, which can help reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines and promote recovery from illness.
