Chronic gastritis may cause symptoms such as gastric discomfort, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, and belching. Patients should consume easily digestible foods, chew food thoroughly and eat slowly, and avoid overeating or binge eating. Smoking and alcohol consumption must be discontinued. Barbecued foods, moldy foods, spicy-hot pot, and pungent ingredients such as scallions, ginger, and garlic should also be avoided. Treatment may include antibiotics and medications that protect the gastric mucosa; traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may also be used as an adjunctive therapy.
