Chronic gastritis - a way to stomach ulcer?
When the gastric mucosa becomes inflamed, acquiring the form of a chronic disease, there is indeed a risk of provoking the development of ulcerative lesions.

In addition, any therapy will be ineffective if the correct diet is not established.
determined by the type of disease, its stage, the general condition of the body as a whole.
Nutrition with increased acidity of gastric juice
The increased secretory function of the stomach is just that slippery path, which, if the regimen and recommendations of the doctor are not followed, will most likely lead to ulcerative defects. The essence of the diet is to significantly reduce the number of irritating mucous factors. Food should be gentle and help reduce acidity.
Based on this, the diet excludes fatty, fried, spicy, hot dishes. Canned foods, raw vegetables, citrus fruits, smoked, fermentative foods.
The use of milk and its non-acidic derivatives is recommended. Of the methods of heat treatment, cooking and steaming are most suitable. It is permissible to bake in the oven, but without excess fat and without a fried crust. Meat and fish go on a low-fat diet, preferably chicken or turkey, low-fat beef, pollock.
Low acid diet
If the acidity of the gastric juice is reduced, this is characterized by the fact that the food, getting into the stomach, does not receive enough hydrochloric acid for its processing and leaves the poorly prepared intestine. The result is discomfort in the epigastric region, frequent bowel movements, belching and other symptoms.
In this case, the diet should be focused on digestible food. Porridge, low-fat dairy products, fish and dietary meat, white bread (preferably dried). Citrus fruits are useful (unlike gastritis with high acidity), fruits and vegetables are best consumed in grated form, but not abused. You need to exclude cabbage, products that promote fermentation, all types of heavy foods. Heat treatment - steam. It is recommended to increase acidity with the help of medicines only after the stage of exacerbation has passed.
