Foods that irritate the stomach

What to eat and which product to avoid if you have stomach upset?

The term gastritis includes all the conditions that are common with inflammation of the gastric mucosa.

Of course, at least once in a lifetime every person has experienced a disorder of the digestive system, a discomfort caused by stomach irritation. In a large percentage of clinical cases, disorders of the digestive system are temporary, do not require medical intervention, effective treatment at home.

Keep in mind, you should definitely consult a doctor if you suffer from gastritis symptoms for more than a week.

Call an ambulance (or take the patient yourself to the clinic's emergency department) if you notice blood in your stools, vomiting blood or notice black stools.

Foods that may irritate the stomach, therefore making gastritis worse, include:

  •  alcohol
  •  coffee
  •  acidic foods, such as tomatoes and some fruits
  •  fruit juices
  •  fatty foods
  •  fried, spicy foods
  •  carbonated drinks

Some people find that the following foods and drinks help ease symptoms of gastritis:

  •  high-fiber foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans
  •  low-fat foods, such as fish, lean meats, and vegetables
  •  non-carbonated drinks, caffeine-free drinks
