The quality of nutrition directly affects health in general and the state of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in particular. SM-Clinic gastroenterologist Patemat Shamaeva, in a conversation with socialbites.ca, warned that eating certain foods in particular can contribute to the development of gastritis.
So, among the products that triggered the development of gastritis and other gastrointestinal diseases were: energy and carbonated drinks, as well as lemonades; semi-finished meat products; unnatural sauces; products rich in sugar and sweeteners; fried in oil and high-calorie foods; Fast food; Spices that irritate the gastric mucosa.
“If consumed frequently, these products can damage the gastric mucosa and trigger the development of gastritis due to disruption of the cellular mechanisms of restoration of the mucous membrane,” the gastroenterologist warned.
In addition, in his opinion, long-term or frequent use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and bad habits (smoking and drinking alcohol, including e-cigarettes) can contribute to the development of the disease.
“Apple cider vinegar has become trendy this year. It is strictly contraindicated for gastrointestinal diseases, as it can lead to their exacerbation. Often gastritis and stomach ulcers are aggravated. In addition, such a product is contraindicated for people with high acidity,” added Shamaeva.
“Of course, it is very difficult to completely eliminate all of the above foods from the diet. But it is quite possible to limit its consumption. It goes without saying that it is better to prevent any disease, including gastritis, than to treat it later,” the expert concluded.
