Gastritis is a painful condition where the lining of your stomach becomes inflamed or damaged from stomach acid. Avoid the following items that may add fuel to this fire.
- Ibuprofen: Long-term use of ibuprofen, aspirin and NSAIDs can thin out the lining of your stomach.
- Alcohol: Excessive drinking (qualified as more than 3 drinks a day for women) can irritate and erode stomach lining.
- Stress: The body produces gastritis-causing acid in response to stress.
- Coffee: is acidic, which irritates gastritis. Carbonated drinks and fruit juices may also have a similar effect.
