A person is designed in such a way that when he is passionate about some activity, work, his brain focuses only on creating something, on work.Often, especially emotional and sensitive people, they don't think about what they eat when they manage to have something to eat.
But when the stomach rumbles, gets sick or feels nauseous, a person remembers that he has a stomach and that his body needs to be nourished, preferably with healthy foods.When a person experiences stomach pain, discomfort, belching and nausea only periodically, and when the pain subsides, he forgets about it and this crazy rush continues again: work, home, shops, etc.
Often such a negligent attitude towards one's health causes serious problems.The stomach suffers first of all from poor-quality nutrition, and the most common disease is gastritis, which can manifest itself in various forms.
The most important thing in the recovery and treatment of gastritis of all types, except drug therapy, is adherence to diet.And when, after FGDS, the doctor makes a diagnosis, the person is faced with the question: what foods can be eaten with gastritis?
What can you eat if you have gastritis?
- Porridge- This is the healthiest dish that those with stomach problems should eat for breakfast.This is especially true for oatmeal and buckwheat;they can also be cooked with milk diluted with water;porridge for gastritis should be cooked for a long time.You should not eat instant porridges that do not require cooking;they have no benefit.It is better to buy oatmeal and buckwheat, it is much healthier.
- Crackers and white bread— it is not allowed to eat rye bread for gastritis, and freshly baked bread has a negative effect on the gastric mucosa.Therefore, the best option is crackers soaked in light tea with milk or dried white bread during lunch.
- Potatoes- This is a very useful and necessary product, which is best consumed pureed or boiled.French fries have a very negative effect on the gastric mucosa and should be avoided completely.
- Soups- You cannot cook soups with very strong broth, be it chicken or beef.If you can't eat vegetarian soup with cereals, you can use meat broth, but only very diluted.You should also avoid any soup seasonings with flavor enhancers and consume soups warm rather than hot.
- Meat- you can eat with gastritis, but only low-fat varieties: beef, veal, chicken, rabbit.Steamed cutlets are especially useful for gastritis, as the meat is finely chopped and steamed.If it is just steamed meat, you should chew it very carefully and not abuse it, since any meat product is a burden on the stomach.Of course, if you suffer from gastritis you should not consume smoked or raw sausages and sausages.
- Fish– only low-fat types of sea fish, such as cod, cod, hake.Among river fish, the best are pike perch and pike.It's best to avoid canned fish and fried fish altogether;during their production, all the beneficial properties of any fish are lost and many spices, preservatives and carcinogenic substances can be obtained.Like meat, fish is best steamed, limiting spices.

- Melon- almost the heaviest plant product not only for the stomach, but also for the pancreas and gallbladder.The gastrointestinal tract of even an absolutely healthy person has difficulty processing melon, so anyone suffering from gastritis should avoid such a dubious product.
- Watermelon- this is what you can eat against gastritis, but only a little.Regardless of the acidity, you can eat only 1-2 slices.It is better to buy watermelons at the end of August or September: this is explained by the fact that farmers, in the rush for an early harvest, do not skimp on chemicals, so the first July watermelons and melons are simply dangerous for health.By the end of August, most melon crops manage to get rid of excess nitrates and pesticides, and at this time they are the most delicious and safe.
