Patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis can drink chicken soup, but the following points should be noted:
Benefits of chicken soup: Chicken soup contains abundant high-quality protein, which can enhance immune function and is beneficial for patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis.
Drinking适量 amounts of chicken soup can supplement trace elements and contribute to overall health.
Precautions:
1. Moderate consumption: Although chicken soup is beneficial, it should be consumed in moderation to avoid excessive intake that may cause indigestion or increase gastrointestinal burden.
2. Avoid greasiness: When cooking chicken soup, excess oil should be removed as much as possible to prevent overly greasy soup from irritating the gastric mucosa.
3. Light diet: The diet of patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis should primarily be light; therefore, chicken soup should not be too strongly flavored, and excessive seasonings or spicy ingredients should be avoided.
4. Avoid consumption during acute episodes: If a patient is experiencing an acute episode of chronic non-atrophic gastritis with severe symptoms, it is recommended to temporarily avoid drinking chicken soup to prevent worsening of symptoms.
