Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Chronic gastritis is a common gastrointestinal disease characterized by long-term inflammation of the gastric mucosa, leading to reduced gastric function. Patients often experience discomfort in the upper abdomen and symptoms of indigestion. For breakfast choices for patients with chronic gastritis, foods that can provide adequate nutrition while being easily digested and non-irritating to the gastric mucosa should be considered. The following are some specific recommendations:
1. Porridge: Such as millet porridge, Chinese yam porridge, etc. These porridges are rich in carbohydrates and water, easily digested and absorbed, and help promote gastrointestinal motility, relieving symptoms of gastric discomfort.
2. Dairy products: Such as yogurt, formula milk, etc. These dairy products contain abundant protein and nutrients, which help neutralize stomach acid and reduce its irritation to the gastric mucosa.
3. Easily digestible flour-based foods: Such as steamed buns, bread, noodles, etc. These foods are easily digested, provide energy to the body, and do not burden the stomach.
4. High-protein foods: Steamed or boiled eggs, tofu, and other protein-rich foods that are easy to digest.
5. Fruits and vegetables: Such as broccoli, Chinese cabbage, apples, pears, etc., which are rich in vitamins and dietary fiber.
