A person is built in such a way that when he is enthusiastic about some activity, his mind concentrates only on creating something.Often, especially emotional and sensitive people do not think about what they eat when they manage to get something to eat.
But when the stomach grows, gets sick or feels nauseous, a person remembers that he has a stomach and his body needs nutrition, preferably with healthy foods.A person only occasionally feels stomach pains, discomfort, belching and nausea, and when the pain subsides, he forgets about it, and this crazy race continues - at work, at home, in the store, etc.
Often, such a careless attitude to a person's health causes serious problems.The stomach primarily suffers from poor nutrition, and the most common disease is gastritis, which can occur in various forms.
Except for drug treatment, the most important thing in the recovery and treatment of all types of gastritis is to follow a diet.And when the doctor makes a diagnosis after FGDS, a person is faced with the question - what foods can be eaten with gastritis?

- Soups- Whether it's chicken or beef, you can't cook soup with too strong broth.If you cannot eat vegetarian soup with grains, then you can use meat broth, but it is very diluted.You should also avoid any condiments for soups with flavor enhancers and consume soups warm, not hot.
- Meat- you can eat with gastritis, but low-fat varieties - beef, veal, chicken, rabbit.Steamed cutlets are especially useful for gastritis, because the meat is finely chopped and steamed.If it is just steamed meat, you should chew it very carefully and not use too much, because any meat product is a burden on the stomach.Of course, if you have gastritis, neither smoked nor raw smoked sausages and sausages should be consumed.
- Fish- only low-fat types of sea fish, such as pollock, cod, hake.Among river fish, pike perch and pike are the best.It is better to completely abandon canned fish and fried fish;during their production, all the beneficial properties of any fish are lost, and you can get a lot of spices, preservatives and carcinogens.Like meat, it is better to steam fish, limiting spices.

- Grapes- this fruit is an obvious contraindication for gastritis;Neither berries themselves nor grape juice can be drunk for any gastritis.The inherent fermentation process and the thick skin of the grape negate all its beneficial properties for the body, as it irritates the mucous membrane with gastritis and increases the acidity of gastric juice.Even with low acidity, consumption of grapes is not recommended due to their thick skin and seeds.
- Melon- almost the heaviest plant product not only for the stomach, but also for the pancreas and gall bladder.Even a completely healthy person's gastrointestinal tract has a hard time dealing with melon, so anyone suffering from gastritis should avoid such a dubious product.
- Watermelon- this is what you can eat for gastritis, but only a little.Regardless of its acidity, you can eat only 1-2 slices.It is better to buy watermelons at the end of August or at the end of September - this is explained by the fact that farmers in the race for an early harvest do not save on chemicals, so the first watermelons and melons in July are simply dangerous for health.By the end of August, most melon plants are already free of nitrates and pesticides, and are at their tastiest and safest.
