Gastritis Diet Foods to Avoid #5: Spicy Foods

In several studies, spicy foods have been used to prevent ulcers (yes, that’s a thing). Eating “capsaicin”- a compound found in most spicy ingredients- actually decreases acid secretion, promotes mucus production in the stomach, (protecting it from acid), and decreased proinflammatory cytokines in gastric mucosa.

However, they are other components found in those foods that act as irritants for people suffering from gastritis or ulcers. Individual tolerance should be determined. Some people with gastritis will find it extremely uncomfortable and even painful to eat spicy foods. They may find that they develop inflammation and they can find that their ulcers get worse.
