Experts said that in the past, due to poor living conditions, people did not have enough to eat well, so there were more people suffering from atrophic gastritis, which led to insufficient gastric acid secretion. At that time, eating more porridge can promote gastric acid secretion, help food digestion and raise blood sugar, so there is a saying of "drinking porridge to nourish the stomach". However, the living standard of modern people has been greatly improved, eating well and satiating stimulates gastric acid secretion, and the number of patients with reflux esophagitis has increased greatly. These patients are not suitable for drinking porridge to nourish the stomach, and porridge is acidic. If they continue to drink porridge, they will add fuel to the fire.
People who often have symptoms of excessive gastric acid secretion due to irregular diet can eat more pasta such as steamed bread, steamed stuffed bun and noodles. Pasta is alkaline because it can help balance the pH value of the stomach and help neutralize gastric acid.
