Gastritis Support Group
Gastritis is a medical term for inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It means that white blood cells move into the wall of the stomach as a response to some type of injury. Gastritis has many underlying causes, from infection with the bacterium H. pylori, bile reflux, or excessive consumption of alcohol or certain foods or drugs like aspirin.
since i have gastritis, can i eat only egg whites and red beans or not? what about cabbage and brocoli? what about drinking aloe vera juice which claims to reduce the inflammation in my stomach? what about lettuce and green peppers like the ones they put on when you go to subway? im only asking because im finding conflicting reports that say that its good for you but others say otherwise and thats where im confused here!!!!! how can i know if i can eat any of this? rsvp. thank you.
Broccoli also causes gas/bloating. I'm currently avoiding it.
Green peppers I would also avoid. They are acidic and can cause irritation.
I drank aloe vera juice in the past when having gastritis with success, though some say it's too acidic.
But that's just me. Here is a list from a comment on this post: https://patient.info/forums/discuss/how-i-cured-my-gastritis-185914?page=4
