Dr. Zhao Haiming
Patients with chronic gastritis can generally drink barley tea. Barley tea does not irritate the gastric mucosa or worsen the condition. During chronic gastritis, it's best to avoid strong tea and opt for mild, light beverages. Additionally, the diet should include easily digestible, bland foods, while spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods should be avoided.
