A member asked:

Is fasting a good thing for healing gastritis and esophogitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unknown: Hi It's unknown but unlikely to impact healing from either gastritis or esophagitis. On the other hand, your body needs proper nutrition to heal optimally, so I'd make sure the cause is properly treated medically rather than fasting. Hope this helps
