Aspirin, acetaminophen, phenylbutazone, indoles, tetracycline, erythromycin and prednisone should be avoided, especially in the active period of chronic gastritis.
People with gastric acid deficiency should avoid diluting gastric juice. It is advisable to add vinegar, lemon juice and acidic condiments to the diet, eat less food that is not easy to digest and flatulence, and drink as little as possible after meals.
People with hyperacidity should avoid eating foods that can stimulate gastric acid secretion, such as strong spices, alcohol, sour agents and so on.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco. After smoking, nicotine can stimulate gastric mucosa to increase gastric acid secretion, which has a harmful stimulating effect on gastric mucosa. Excessive smoking leads to the dysfunction of pyloric sphincter, bile and sweat reflux, damages gastric mucosa, and affects the blood supply of gastric mucosa and the repair and regeneration of gastric mucosal cells. Therefore, it is necessary to give up smoking. Alcohol can directly destroy the barrier of gastric mucosa, make H+ in gastric cavity invade gastric mucosa, and cause mucosal congestion, edema and erosion.
Mental stress is a promoting factor of chronic gastritis and should be avoided. Anxiety and impatience can easily lead to gastric mucosal disorder and gastric dysfunction. Therefore, we should try to avoid emotional stress and relieve tension. When something goes wrong, it is very beneficial to the recovery of gastritis to keep a good mood and not get angry, and not be anxious or impatient.
Avoid irregular life and overwork. Pay attention to proper rest and exercise. Physical exercise can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and emptying, enhance gastrointestinal secretion function and improve digestive function, and contribute to the recovery of gastritis.
