It is feasible for patients with superficial gastritis to consume mooncakes, but it is important to control the intake. The ingredients of mooncakes include flour, oil, sugar, and various nuts such as walnuts, peanuts, and sesame, which are rich in fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Consuming mooncakes in moderation allows patients not only to obtain necessary energy replenishment but also to avoid exacerbating their condition. However, due to the high sugar content of mooncakes, excessive consumption may stimulate excessive gastric acid secretion, leading to discomfort in the gastric mucosa, which may manifest as nausea, acid reflux, heartburn, and belching. In such cases, patients can follow medical advice to take medications that suppress gastric acid secretion, such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated capsules, or pantoprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets. At the same time, using protective gastric mucosal medications like colloidal bismuth pectin capsules, potassium citrate bismuth tablets, and compound aluminum magnesium tablets can help alleviate the aforementioned symptoms.
In daily life, patients should adjust bad habits, ensure sufficient sleep and moderate exercise, and maintain a diet based on lightness and comprehensive nutrition. It is recommended to increase the intake of vitamin-rich foods while avoiding spicy and irritating foods to maintain gastric health.
