What food is good for acute gastritis

Gastritis is one of the most common diseases in our lives. The cause of gastroenteritis is mostly because we do not pay attention to our diet. Especially now many young people do not eat on time, so they will suffer from acute gastroenteritis. So we need to understand how to eat after getting acute gastritis to control the disease. The best way to treat stomach problems is diet therapy. Let’s find out what kind of food is good for acute gastritis?

Chinese medicine experts say that acute gastroenteritis is a very common acute gastrointestinal disease, characterized by an obvious history of improper diet, sudden onset and rapid recovery. In addition to drug treatment, reasonable diet is also an important part in the treatment of gastroenteritis. If you do not pay attention to dietary adjustments, it will not only aggravate the condition and prolong the course of the disease, but also affect the efficacy of the treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine divides gastroenteritis into different types, such as damp-heat, cold-damp, and stagnation, based on the causes and physical constitutions.

During the recovery period after the condition has resolved, try a liquid diet first. Generally, patients can choose clear liquid soft food after vomiting stops. Pay attention to eating small meals frequently, 6 to 7 meals a day is appropriate. At the beginning, you can give a small amount of rice soup, lotus root powder, almond cream, etc. When the symptoms are relieved and the frequency of bowel movements decreases, you can change to full liquid food, such as adding steamed egg custard, salted egg yolk rice paste, lotus seed rice paste, thick rice soup with egg drops, carrot rice paste and other foods. Try to avoid gas-producing and fat-rich foods such as milk and dairy products, sucrose, overly sweet foods, and meat.

So what foods can’t be eaten?

1. Researchers say milk fat is a saturated fat that is found in large quantities in ice cream and chocolate products. It is difficult to digest. To do this, the liver has to secrete a large amount of bile to help break down milk fat in the intestines. This intestinal environment is particularly suitable for the survival of Bacillus wardii. This bacterium is almost nonexistent in the intestines. However, the researchers found that the proportion of this bile-loving bacteria in the intestines of experimental mice that regularly consumed a full-fat diet was as high as 6%. It can activate the immune system of people who are susceptible to enteritis and trigger enteritis.

2. Broccoli and cabbage are both outstanding vegetables in the "Decomposition Family". They are not only rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, but also have anti-cancer and anti-aging effects.

But even though they are rich in dietary fiber and a variety of nutrients, these vegetables cannot be completely trusted to be healthy. Because high-fiber vegetables can help expand your stomach capacity, it can easily lead to excess gas accumulation in the stomach and intestines.

3. Acidic beverages can irritate the esophagus and stimulate the sensory nerves, causing the irritated area to become red and swollen.

If you drink a large glass of citrus juice first thing in the morning, it will increase the acidity in your stomach and intestines. If you are drinking sweetened lemon water with a high concentration of fructose at this time, you should be more careful, because excessive sugar intake can cause diarrhea.

4. Eating a lot of chocolate not only brings extra calories, but people who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease have experienced the discomfort and irritation caused by eating chocolate. This is because chocolate can cause relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to reflux and irritate the esophagus and pharynx.

5. Beans are notorious for causing indigestion. The oligosaccharides contained in beans, such as stachyose and raffinose, are fermented by intestinal bacteria and can decompose to produce some gases, which in turn cause symptoms such as hiccups, intestinal rumbling, abdominal bloating, and abdominal pain.

Through the above description, now everyone has a certain understanding of what to eat after suffering from acute gastritis. The onset of stomach problems is mostly caused by not paying attention to diet, so regulating through dietary control is the best method. In normal times, special attention should be paid to not overeating, and it is better to eat more light foods.
