Keep the following points in mind for gastritis –
- Correct your eating pattern, eat small frequent meals at regular intervals and avoid excess or irregular eating habits.
- Avoid eating spicy foods with all spices and condiments, oily or fried foods, red pepper, meat, pickles, sour foods, strong tea and coffee.
- Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and tobacco completely.
- Also avoid too sweet preparations like heavy cakes, pastries, sweets and aerated drinks.
- Use cottage cheese and yoghurt liberally in different preparations. And avoid mixing different foods in the same meal.
- Water should be avoided with meals as it tends to dilute the digestive enzymes and delays digestion, however at least 8-10 glasses of water should be consumed in a day.
- Eat meals at least 2-3 hrs before sleeping hours and relax and sit after eating a meal (avoid lying down immediately after a meal).
- Avoid taking any kind of stress, mental or physical as far as possible as this would worsen your condition.
