Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Dietary recommendations for patients with antral gastritis mainly include the following:
1. High-fiber foods: Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and other fiber-rich foods contribute to digestive system health. However, overly coarse or hard-to-digest fibers, such as raw nuts or the skins of high-fiber vegetables, should be avoided.
2. Low-salt and low-fat foods: Consume moderate amounts of low-salt and low-fat foods, such as fish, vegetables, and fruits. High-salt and high-fat foods should be avoided as they can further irritate the gastric mucosa.
3. Beneficial fungi and vegetables: Mushrooms, such as shiitake mushrooms, along with fresh vegetables like cabbage, tomatoes, Chinese yam, and radish, can help regulate intestinal flora and promote digestion.
4. Moderate meat consumption: Choose fresh, lean, and tender meats such as pork, chicken breast, water duck meat, and fish fillets. Avoid greasy or spoiled meats. Meat should be finely processed during cooking to facilitate digestion.
5. Avoidance of stimulative beverages: Beverages such as coffee, strong tea, and carbonated drinks may irritate the gastric mucosa and worsen inflammation, and thus should be avoided.
As each patient's condition varies, it is recommended to develop a personalized meal plan under the guidance of a physician.
