picture retrieved from http://www.aldia.atonra.com/?p=389


While I was in my SM collegue room, another collegue of mine was asking me about gastric, and if I'm not mistaken, food that can alleviate gastric or gastritis. I only experienced gastric everytime I was pregnant.. believe me, it is not something that I looked foward to. I have to be extra careful of what I ate or had to suffer from hyperacidity Which ended up in vomitting...

It is very important to know why gastritis happen. The Root Causes of Gastritis includes the following...
Toxins accumulating in tissues and blocking circulation.
Poor nutrition.
Poor digestion.
Imbalance of the nervous system.
Accumulation of physical and mental stress.
Lowering of natural resistance and immunity.
Disruption of natural biological rhythms.
A side effect of certain medication
exercising right after eating
smoking


For Annie's mom or others who suffers from gastritis conditions, here is for you all:
oods to Eat
Eat at regular times each day.
Keep your intake of milk and dairy products to 3 servings per day or less. Choose lowfat or fat-free dairy foods whenever possible. This will also help control stomach acid production.
Eating soft or light diet.



Foods to Avoid
*black and red pepper

*chilies..chili powder.. hot peppers ( yang sewaktu dengan nya) often irritate the stomach lining.

*Foods with caffeine can increase the amount of stomach acid. e.g.teas, colas, cocoa, chocolate.

*Limit your intake of tomatoes, tomato juice, peppermint, fatty foods, and citrus juices.

* Limit intake of food that cause you to have extra gas. e.g dalca , broccoli, cabbage, onions, milk, cooked dried beans and peas, and some fruits. ( To me, corn and milk also cause gas, so I avoid these. I drank soya bean instead )

I hope these helps..
