Gastritis
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
Recommendation | Why | Get started |
---|---|---|
Try a low-salt diet | Salt can irritate the stomach lining, so eat foods low in salt to avoid irritation. | |
Try some cayenne or chilli pepper | Doctors commonly recommend avoiding spicy foods, but cayenne or chilli pepper may be beneficial: the active ingredient in these foods, capsaicin, has been shown to protect against gastritis. | |
Avoid caffeine | Caffeine found in coffee, black tea, green tea, some fizzy drinks, chocolate, and many medications increases stomach acid. Avoiding these substances should help heal gastritis. | |
Uncover food allergies | Work with a knowledgeable professional to see whether food allergies are triggering your gastritis. |
