Living in modern society, there is a lot of pressure, especially for those white-collar workers who work overtime every day and have to stay up late from time to time to catch up with the project, stomach pain, stomach bloating, and gastritis have almost become their "standard". No, some time ago, we came across several typical cases of stomach problems caused by work stress.
First of all, there is such a virtual case, a programmer who often works overtime late at night, in order to refresh himself, often eats some sour hawthorn chips. At first, he thought it would help with appetite, but it didn't take long for him to start feeling sick to his stomach and the pain worsened.
It turns out that although hawthorn can promote digestion and increase appetite, it is also an acidic food, and for people who already have gastritis, excessive consumption of hawthorn will increase gastric acid secretion and aggravate the damage to the gastric mucosa.

Another sales manager (virtual character) who likes sports, he thought that eating some hawthorn after exercise could help lose weight and eliminate food, but after frequent consumption, his gastritis symptoms were not only not alleviated, but were more serious because of the acidic stimulation of hawthorn. The experience of a sales manager has taught us that even seemingly healthy foods should be eaten in moderation according to their physical condition.
We also met a project manager (avatar) who travels a lot, and he often brings some dried hawthorn with him for convenience to satisfy his hunger pangs on the road.
In the long run, the project manager found that his stomach pain was frequent, and he went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with chronic gastritis. The doctor told him that although hawthorn is good, it should not be eaten in large quantities for a long time, especially in an empty state, which increases the burden on the stomach.
These examples are not isolated, they reflect a common problem: many gastritis patients often mistakenly eat foods that seem harmless but have potential irritation to the stomach due to their lack of understanding of the nature of food. Especially like hawthorn, although it has certain health benefits, for gastritis patients, excessive consumption can indeed bring adverse effects.
Usually, we think that fruits are healthy, but for friends with gastritis, certain fruits may aggravate their condition.
First of all, citrus fruits, which are rich in vitamin C and fruit acids, are an excellent source of antioxidants for healthy people, which can improve immunity, prevent colds, etc. However, for patients with gastritis, the high acidity of these fruits may irritate the already damaged gastric mucosa, leading to worsening symptoms.
For example, a patient who often goes to the doctor with stomach pain, who likes to drink a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice every morning, not only does the stomach pain not relieve, but instead has stomach pain and stomach acid deficiency more and more frequently.
Secondly, pineapple, a tropical fruit rich in bromelain, is theoretically beneficial for the digestive system, however, for gastritis sufferers, this potent digestive enzyme may cause additional irritation to the stomach lining.
There is data showing that some people who are allergic to pineapple will feel stomach discomfort after eating it, and gastritis patients are more likely to feel this discomfort due to the thinner protective layer of the stomach wall.
There is also a practical example, a friend who likes to eat pineapple, unknowingly increased his pineapple intake, and as a result, the number of stomach pains increased day by day, and the situation was brought under control after the doctor's advice to adjust the diet.
Finally, although cherries are delicious, they are also rich in iron and vitamins, which have certain benefits for the prevention and treatment of anemia, but cherries are also an acidic fruit, which will increase gastric acid secretion and aggravate stomach discomfort for patients with excessive stomach acid or gastritis.
There is a gastritis patient (virtual character) who eats cherries almost every day during the cherry season, and he found that his stomach pain symptoms have significantly worsened, and he reduced his cherry intake under the advice of his doctor, and the stomach pain symptoms were relieved.
Fruits such as citrus, pineapple, and cherries, in particular, may have additional irritation to the stomach, so it is best for gastritis patients to consult a doctor before consuming them and adjust their diet according to their specific health conditions.
For patients with gastritis who prefer these fruits, you can consider replacing them with milder fruits such as bananas, apples or pears, which are relatively mild and do not irritate the stomach easily, helping to protect the gastric mucosa and reduce discomfort.
Through such dietary adjustments and professional guidance from doctors, gastritis patients can protect their stomachs and maintain a healthy lifestyle while enjoying delicious food. After all, a healthy diet is an important part of treating and preventing disease, and the right food choices can help us live a better and healthier life away from illness.
When it comes to treating gastritis, most people may first think of medication, but in fact, some natural ingredients that can be seen every day can also be used as an adjunct to help relieve gastritis.
First, let's talk about licorice, which is a very potent herb. For patients with gastritis, licorice has anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer effects, which can effectively protect the gastric mucosa and reduce the erosion of gastric acid on the stomach wall.
For example, a middle-aged man (fictional character) who often suffers from gastritis began to add a small amount of licorice to his diet to drink, and after a few weeks, he felt that the pain in his stomach was significantly reduced, and the recovery of the gastric mucosa was confirmed by the doctor.
Next up is honeysuckle, an herb widely used in China that is widely recognized for its heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. Honeysuckle is rich in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial components, especially effective for gastritis caused by bacterial infections. Honeysuckle is able to inhibit the activity of some gastric pathogens, thereby reducing the symptoms of gastritis.
Finally, we want to mention green tea. Although green tea is an acidic drink, many people may think that it is not suitable for gastritis sufferers. In addition, the antioxidants in green tea can reduce our own inflammation and inhibit gastric mucosal damage, and can also help reduce the excessive secretion of gastric acid, thereby protecting the stomach lining.
However, the key is to drink it in moderation, and it is best to choose warm green tea to avoid irritating the stomach lining with excessively hot or cold temperatures. One study mentioned that patients with gastritis who drank warm green tea in moderation every day had their gastric mucosa heal faster than those who did not drink green tea.
If you or someone close to you is suffering from gastritis, you may wish to try these natural remedies with the advice of your doctor, and there may be unexpected results. After all, a healthy lifestyle and proper dietary modification are health secrets that each of us can master.
