Question 1

i have gastritis. what foods should i avoid?

Accepted Answer

Diet: First, stop irritants such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, meds like advil (ibuprofen) or aspirin, carbonated beverages, fruit juices. Then eat a fiber-rich diet. Foods containing flavonoids, like apples, celery, cranberries (including cranberry juice), onions, garlic, and tea may stop the growth of h. Pylori, the bacteria that may be causing it.
Avoid high fat foods.

pasta, cooked rice, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, oatmeal, crackers, and bread

Question 9

what are the best foods for easing the symptoms of gastritis?

Accepted Answer

Gastritis : If your symptoms are truly due to gastritis, the answer is to treat the underlying cause of the gastritis. Adjusting your diet will not make much difference. I usually tell people to avoid any particular foods that give them trouble while you are treating the underlying problem. If you have not seen your doctor or a gastroenterologist, seek them out to find the cause. Good luck.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Varies: Generally, hot spices & peppers aren't tolerated well, nor is caffeine. You probably can expect similar ingredients in any food or drink (including alcohol) to bring about  ill effects that you've previously experienced.          Best wishes.
