It is feasible for patients with chronic gastritis to consume mooncakes, but attention should be paid to controlling the amount consumed. This disease involves long-term inflammation of the gastric mucosa, with various causes including Helicobacter pylori infection and poor dietary habits. Patients often experience discomfort, bloating, and pain in the upper abdomen, and sometimes may also have decreased appetite, acid reflux, and nausea. Mooncakes are rich in carbohydrates and proteins. Consuming them in moderation can supplement essential nutrients for patients with chronic gastritis, improve immune function, and usually does not lead to health issues. However, excessive consumption may increase gastrointestinal burden and be detrimental to disease stability.
Under medical guidance, patients with chronic gastritis can use medications such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, amoxicillin capsules, etc., to help relieve symptoms. In terms of daily diet, it is recommended to choose easily digestible and bland foods such as egg custard, vegetable porridge, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods like chili and onions to reduce potential irritation to the gastric mucosa and prevent disease deterioration.
