Diet with gastritis with low acidity

Gastritis is an inflammatory process that takes place on the gastric mucosa.In medicine, two types of gastritis are classified - with reduced and / or high acidity of gastric juice.With reduced acidity, insufficient production of gastric juice occurs, which in its composition has hydrochloric acid.The consequence of this condition is a long time not digesting food that has got into the stomach, the intestine "takes" undigested foods, an intoxication of the organism can occur.

In order to stabilize the condition, doctors with diagnosed gastritis with a low acidity of gastric juice can prescribe medication, perform a number of physiotherapy procedures and recommend spa treatment.But if all these activities are carried out without parallel compliance with a diet with gastritis, then the efforts will be in vain.
