Dr. Shen Yonghua
Nutritional therapy for gastritis mainly includes the following methods:
1. Mild diet: Choose easily digestible foods such as cooked vegetables, lean meats, fish, and eggs. Avoid spicy, greasy, overly hot, or cold foods.
2. High-fiber foods: Consume more fresh, light-colored fruits and vegetables with low fiber content, such as wax gourd, cucumber, and tomato, which help improve digestive system function.
3. Low-fat diet: Reduce fat intake, especially saturated and trans fats, as they may worsen stomach discomfort.
4. Mild seasoning: Use mild spices and seasonings such as ginger, garlic, and lemon juice to enhance flavor without excessively irritating the stomach.
5. Regular meals: Eat three regular meals daily, reduce portion sizes at dinner, maintain a cheerful mood, and avoid excessive fatigue and stress.
6. Herbal tea: Decoct black glutinous rice together with black tea and take it in the morning and evening to help relieve stomach bloating and pain.
7. Stay hydrated: Drink an adequate amount of water, but avoid drinking immediately before or after meals to prevent dilution of stomach acid and impaired digestion.
