Gastritis?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I just found out that I have gastristis and while I kniw I shouldn't smoke (I still smoke two cigarettes a day, that is 11 less than usual) also no drinking which I don't. What foods are okay and won't cause major discomfort and what will? I know no acidic foods, but that means next to nothing to me.
I appreciate any time and effort put into this.

Hello. I assume you have been tested for h pylori ? And have you been put on acid reducing medication ? If so you need to combine this with a strict diet for 2/3 months.
Cut out the following :
- alcohol
- fizzy drinks
- high fat / greasy and oily foods inc pastries
- High spice food
- anything acidic - some fruit and fruit juices / tomato / sweets etc
- chocolate / cakes - anything with high edibles sugar
- raw veg and gassy veg (cauliflower / onions)
- reduce your dairy intake
- no caffeine - tea and coffee (even decaf can be too much)
Do eat :
- lean cooked meats
- bread
- rice
- oats
- non acidic fruit
- well cooked or steamed veg
- scrambled or poached eggs
Basically bland and healthy foods !
Mainly drink still water.
Keep a food diary as some random foods may effect you. Everyone is different. You will make mistakes and be in discomfort but it's a slow recovery game. If you are doing right you should slowly feel better as time goes on. Come off ppi's slowly, don't come off them cold turkey
