What should I do if I lose weight due to atrophic gastritis?

Patients with atrophic gastritis will be subject to many restrictions in their diet, and are prone to indigestion and poor nutrient absorption, which can lead to weight loss symptoms. Therefore, they should pay attention to a reasonable diet, choose liquid foods that are easily digestible, and supplement nutrition.

1. Patients with atrophic gastritis should eat more liquid food. For patients with atrophic gastritis, dietary conditioning is the most important in the treatment of the disease. During the process of dietary adjustment, patients should mainly eat liquid food and soft food. Eating nutritious liquid food can replenish the energy needed by the body while reducing the digestive burden of the stomach and intestines.

2. Patients with atrophic gastritis should have a regular diet and eat regularly, at regular times and in regular amounts to supplement the various nutrients needed by the body. Patients should eat small meals frequently and choose easily digestible foods to reduce the digestive burden on the stomach while ensuring the normal intake of various nutrients. When eating, you should chew slowly to promote digestion and gastrointestinal absorption.

3. Patients with atrophic gastritis should stay away from fried foods, pickled foods, chili peppers, garlic, and other foods that are too hard, too spicy, too salty, too hot, too rough, and highly irritating, so as not to affect the improvement of the condition. In addition, patients with atrophic gastritis should avoid citrus juice, tomato products, coffee, alcohol, and all foods that may directly irritate the stomach and intestines.

4. Notes:

Given the serious harm of atrophic gastritis and its possibility of canceration, once the patient is diagnosed, timely, active and thorough treatment should be carried out to avoid delaying for too long, which may lead to worsening of the disease and even the possibility of canceration. It is worth mentioning that patients with atrophic gastritis must have a regular diet, a light diet, eat less spicy, fried, deep-fried, strong alcohol and other indigestible and irritating foods, eat more fruits, vegetables and fibrous foods, and drink plenty of water.
