Can I eat instant noodles with chronic superficial gastritis?

As a instant food product with high salt, high oil, and high additive content, instant noodles are not suitable for long-term consumption by patients with chronic superficial gastritis.

Instant noodles mainly contain carbohydrates, small amounts of protein and fat, as well as trace amounts of vitamins and minerals. However, instant noodles are usually quite greasy and contain a certain amount of salt and additives. These types of food can irritate the gastric mucosa, worsen gastric discomfort, and even cause or exacerbate symptoms such as stomach pain and bloating. Therefore, patients with chronic superficial gastritis may occasionally consume instant noodles, but frequent or excessive consumption is not recommended. When choosing instant noodles, patients should also avoid strongly flavored varieties, such as those that are overly sour or spicy, to reduce irritation to the stomach.

In daily life, patients should maintain regular eating habits, eat smaller meals more frequently, and avoid overeating or prolonged periods of fasting, in order to reduce the burden on the stomach and promote the healing of the gastric mucosa. In their daily diet, patients should also appropriately consume foods rich in vitamins and trace elements to enhance immune function and promote recovery from illness.
