What are the dietary taboos for stomach problems?

There has never been a unified standard list of dietary taboos for stomach problems. The core principle is actually very simple - just avoid all foods that will cause your own stomach discomfort. There is no need to follow the various general taboo lists on the Internet.

Lao Chen, whom I met in a gastric disease follow-up group, had suffered from erosive gastritis for three years and did not even dare to touch green peppers. Last time, his children made slightly spicy tomato fat beef. He couldn't help but eat half a bowl of it. Not only did he not suffer from stomach pain, but because his appetite was stimulated, his digestion was smooth for several days.； On the contrary, there is another young girl in the group who has just graduated. Even if she eats a well-cooked light sukiyaki, if she touches a little sterile egg, she will definitely suffer from stomach pain and acid reflux within half an hour. To others, sterile eggs are a low-burden healthy food, but to her, they are a minefield that must be avoided.

Speaking of this, some people will definitely ask, are there no common precautions? Of course not. For example, the most controversial question now is "Does drinking porridge nourish the stomach or hurt the stomach?" In fact, the essence is that it is suitable for different people. During an acute gastritis attack, the gastric mucosa is congested and edematous. Drinking some warm white porridge or millet porridge can indeed reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. However, if the gastric acid secretion itself is not good, If you have enough atrophic gastritis and still eat porridge as your staple food every day, the digestive function of your stomach will not be exercised for a long time. Just like the muscles of people who lie down for a long time will atrophy, the digestion ability will only get worse and worse, which is not conducive to recovery. It may even cause blood sugar problems because porridge raises blood sugar too quickly.

Of course, there are several types of food that have been clearly proven to directly damage the gastric mucosa. No matter what type of gastric disease you have, if you are intolerant or intolerant, try to eat as little as possible - such as high-salt pickles, smoked bacon sausages, high alcohol, and hot food over 65°C. These are all classified as carcinogens by the WHO. Long-term consumption is real and irritating to the gastric mucosa. People without stomach problems are at risk if they eat too much, let alone people who have already suffered gastric damage.

In fact, the stomach is just like the old people you have been with for many years. Everyone has a different temper. Some people are afraid of coldness, some people are afraid of acidity, and some people like to eat spicy food as an appetizer. You can't just throw away all the oranges at home when others say that your people are afraid of oranges, right? As long as it is not the clearly harmful food mentioned above, you can try to eat two bites in small doses. You can eat it in moderation if you don’t feel uncomfortable after eating it. However, you don’t dare to touch this or eat that. On the contrary, you are prone to malnutrition. You don’t even have enough protein and vitamins needed to repair the gastric mucosa. That is really not worth the loss.

If you are really unsure about what you can and cannot eat, you can also keep a simple food diary. If you experience acid reflux, stomach pain, or bloating after eating the same food two or three times in a row, then add it to your exclusive blacklist. There is no need to scare yourself and not even touch your favorite food.
