With erosive gastritis, the gastric mucosa is damaged in single or multiple places. Therefore, the protection of the walls of the stomach from chemical, physical and temperature influences is required. A strict, gentle diet should be observed, as with exacerbation of the disease, which will minimize inflammation and accelerate the healing of erosion.

Low-fat diet meat and fish can be baked, cooked or steamed. It can be served in grated or slices. Vegetables need to cook and grind or grind in a food processor.

From fruits you can eat apples in baked form. But you need to choose sweet fruits, for example, varieties of gold. Categorically one cannot eat apples. They are often acidic and will irritate the stomach mucosa. In the rest, the list of prohibitions corresponds to a diet during exacerbation.

Diet with gastritis with high acidity

The principles and rules of nutrition in this case do not differ from those already listed. The list of products, both authorized and forbidden, is almost identical to the one already voiced, with a number of nuances. This is due to the fact that the secretion of gastric juice is high, and the purpose of treatment is to reduce it. That is why a number of acidic foods are excluded from the diet.
