Dctrs don't believe in bland diet for long-term. In acute gastritis temporary diet restrictions is ok. In longer period it's imp for stomach to be Used to normal and variety of food. Else risk of building sensitivity.
I have been through chronic gastritis period. Did all sort of things including bland diet and food restrictions. Ended up loosing 20 pounds. Now I am much better and eat almost everything!

On the other hand, I can eat ice cream without a problem and I didn't understand that fact till I meet with bland diet.
Avoiding all fruits and raw veggies (vegg juices also irritate my stomach) should be avoided for me.
I can tolerate refined wholewheat bread, hard-boiled eggs (I mostly eat egg whites tho), basmati rice/brown rice, chicken breast, legumes (maybe they hurt just a little bit not important)
Also I can eat most of junks surprisingly (pizza and some fast food stuff)
I think, avoiding all raw foods are best choice for me.
Any diet tips for me, mahesh?

Sparkling waters also irritate my stomach just a little bit. I tried everything about water, mineral water, sparkling water, different brands but it does not matter.
I really don't understand that fact.

No, I did not. My doc said that these food intolerance tests are not scientific.
I complete avoid dairy, citrus, raw veggies and red meat now.
Legumes don't hurt too much. I soak, boil and cook them.
By the way, I'm starting 20 mg omeprazole a day three days ago.
