I usually drink a cup of yogurt every day for breakfast, but recently I've been diagnosed with chronic gastritis. Can I still drink yogurt with chronic gastritis?

Chronic gastritis patients can generally drink yogurt. Yogurt is relatively easy to digest, and the abundant lactic acid bacteria it contains can help regulate intestinal flora and alleviate symptoms of chronic gastritis. Therefore, it is acceptable to consume moderate amounts of yogurt during chronic gastritis. However, when drinking yogurt, avoid chilled or refrigerated yogurt to prevent irritation to the stomach.
