Patients with chronic atrophic gastritis are not recommended to eat fruits. Most fruits are considered cold and raw food, which can easily irritate the stomach lining and worsen the lesions, thus patients with chronic atrophic gastritis are advised not to eat fruits. Additionally, patients with chronic atrophic gastritis should avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming strong tea or coffee. They should also avoid fatty, greasy, spicy, fried, stimulating, barbecued, cold, and sweet foods. A diet that is light and easy to digest is recommended, such as porridge (e.g., millet porridge, yam porridge, or barley porridge), soups (e.g., chicken soup or pork rib soup), and well-cooked noodles, as these foods are relatively easy to digest and place less burden on the gastrointestinal tract, making them suitable for patients with chronic atrophic gastritis.
