Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Haiming
Drinking cola after being diagnosed with chronic gastritis can irritate the gastric mucosa, exacerbating the condition and impeding mucosal healing. In severe cases, it may even trigger gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, or gastric cancer. To avoid adverse effects on the body, individuals with chronic gastritis must abstain from alcohol and should not consume carbonated beverages.
