Sour, spicy, fish soups are excluded from the diet.
The diet menu should have a sufficient amount of protein, so you can not neglect meat and fish dishes. The meat should be non-greasy (chicken, veal, rabbit), you should choose soft, non-arid parts.
For patients with gastritis, cereals are useful. I should cook the cereals for them for a long time, until complete boiling, so that the porridge becomes viscous, enveloping. You can cook porridge in water and milk. You can not eat pearl barley, barley, corn and millet cereals.

Reviews of former patients
The views of doctors on traditional medicine are mixed. Some of them believe in the usefulness of a number of recipes, there are those who are fully convinced of their inefficiency. However, people who previously suffered from diseases of the stomach, including various gastritis, coped with their ailments, largely due to the effect of tried and tested folk recipes. Their reviews allow us to judge the effectiveness of certain treatment methods discovered by our ancestors. The opinions of the survivors agree not only regarding the positive results from the "grandmother's" treatment, but also that it should occur in conjunction with medical treatment and only under the supervision of a doctor.
Whatever method of treatment the sick person chooses, it is important to know the main rule that independent therapy without the help of a medical professional can pose a threat to life.
