Among the products that provoke the development of gastritis and other gastrointestinal diseases, he listed the following:
– energy and carbonated drinks, as well as lemonades;
– semi-finished meat products;
– unnatural sauces;
– products with high sugar and sweetener content;
– fried in oil and high-calorie foods;
– Fast food;
– spices that irritate the gastric mucosa.
The gastroenterologist warned that if consumed frequently, these products can damage the gastric mucosa and cause the development of gastritis due to the alteration of the cellular mechanisms of mucosal restoration.
Shamaeva also noted that prolonged or frequent use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may contribute to the development of the disease. Bad habits can also play a role, for example smoking, including e-cigarettes, and drinking alcohol.
In addition, the gastroenterologist warned against excessive enthusiasm for the new trend of using apple cider vinegar in food. “This product is strictly contraindicated in gastrointestinal diseases, as it can provoke their exacerbation. In most cases, gastritis and gastric ulcers are aggravated. In addition, apple cider vinegar is contraindicated for people with high acidity,” Shamaeva explained. .
Of course, it is quite difficult to completely exclude all of the above foods from your diet. But it is very possible to limit its consumption. “Let us remember that it is better to prevent any disease, including gastritis, than to treat it later,” concluded the gastroenterologist.
