Soda Drinks

Soda drinks have both chemical effect on the gastric mucosa, the chemical effects lead to the increased production of gastric acids in the stomach which leads to worsening of symptoms. Fruit juices that contain citric fruits are also in this category, they should be avoided until the gastritis symptoms are relieved. Patients diagnosed with gastritis should rather take drinks with positive effects on the gastric mucosa, this includes: water and green tea.
