Conclusion

What Is Gastritis?
Gastritis refers to the inflammation of the stomach lining caused either by a
Helicobacter pylori infection or by the excessive administration of non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (medicine-induced gastritis). It can be either acute
(sudden onset) or chronic (develops over time) in nature (1
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK310265/)).

Following a healthy diet can help alleviate the symptoms of gastritis. Check out how it
works below.

Gastritis Diet – How It Helps

The main aim of a gastritis diet is to control H.pylori infection and alleviate gastritis
symptoms.

A gastritis diet should be:

High in fiber: A high-fiber food is beneficial for your gut. The undigested portions of
dietary fiber produce short-chain fatty acids that have a beneficial effect on gut
bacteria (2 (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29902436/)).

https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/gastritis-diet-foods-to-avoid-and-foods-to-consume/#foods-to-eat 4/14
7/17/2020 A Gastritis Diet Menu Plan: Foods To Eat And Avoid

Enriched with healthy fats: Fatty foods are not the best choice for treating gastritis,
(https://www.stylecraze.com/?ref=nav)
but healthy fats definitely work wonders for it. Include nuts, seeds, and oily fish that
are rich in omega-3 (polyunsaturated) fatty acids to reduce stomach inflammation
(3 (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16841861/)).
ADVERTISEMENT

High in lean protein: Lean proteins may help repair the damaged stomach lining
and build stamina.

High in probiotics: Include foods and drinks rich in probiotics or live organisms.
Studies have found that probiotics help eradicate H.pylori and reduce stomach
inflammation (4 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6206577/)).
ADVERTISEMENT

Rich in flavonoids: Include spices, herbs, and condiments in your diet. Flavonoid-
rich foods exhibit antibacterial properties that can eradicate H.pylori (5
(https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25245513/)).

Cutting down on highly acidic foods, processed foods, and dairy can help minimize acid
secretion in the stomach and provide relief from the symptoms of gastritis.
