Gastritis Diet: 10 Foods To Avoid
Gastritis Diet Foods to Avoid #10: High fat foods
For some people with gastritis, fatty foods can be a problem, but this is a bit more variable from person to person. We have all been there: bloated and with horrible heartburn after a heavy meal of fried chicken! This is because these foods have been found to delay gastric emptying and decrease the lower esophageal sphincter pressure thus prolonging the esophageal exposure time to stomach acid and the volume available for reflux.
Eating healthy fats (fish, avocado) in moderation may even be beneficial and have antioxidant effects on the gastrointestinal tract.
