Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for contacting Healthcare Magic.

Basic principle is that what ever you should avoid whatever gives you problem.

Certain food items that you should avoid are: Tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, spicy food, sour things, fried and oily food, mints, choclates. In general what ever gives you trouble, avoid it. You should eat small amounts at a time, though you can eat frequently. Smoking and alcohol also aggravate gastritis.

If there are any other queries, please feel free to contact.

Best wishes,

Dr Dinesh Singal
