is buttermilk good for gastritis

Rohan

I am wondering if buttermilk is good for gastritis because I've been dealing with some serious stomach issues lately. A few weeks ago, I started feeling this dull pain and bloating after meals, so I went to the doc and they mentioned gastritis. The thing is, I’ve heard people say that buttermilk can help soothe the stomach, but I’m not sure if that’s true. Last week, I decided to give it a try and drank some buttermilk after lunch, but then I felt a bit of discomfort again. I recent looked up what to eat and what to avoid, but I keep getting mixed info. Some people say buttermilk is good for gastritis because it’s cooling and easy on the stomach, yet others warn that dairy might aggravate it. I don’t even know what to believe anymore! Do any of you have experience with this? Like, is buttermilk actually good for gastritis, or should I steer clear? I really wanna feel better and be able to eat without worry. Should I keep drinking it, or is there something else that works better? Any help would be appreciated because I feel lost with all this conflicting advice!

Doctors' responses

Buttermilk is often considered a home remedy for digestive issues like gastritis, but its effectiveness can vary based on individual tolerance and the underlying causes of your symptoms. Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining and can be triggered by various factors, such as bacteria like H. pylori, excessive alcohol use, certain medications, or stress. In terms of buttermilk, it can be soothing for some since it contains probiotics that may help maintain gut health. However, it’s important to consider that buttermilk is a dairy product. For individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity, it might indeed lead to discomfort, bloating, or further irritation, as you experienced after consumption. If you suspect lactose intolerance, it’s best to trial and error different food, seeing what specifically triggers discomfort. Generally, with gastritis, it’s wise to avoid spicy, acidic, and heavily processed foods. Opting for a bland diet with foods like rice, bananas, and cooked vegetables can often help. Herbal teas like chamomile or ginger might soothe your stomach as well. It’s important not to self-medicate with prolonged home remedies without addressing possible underlying causes. Work closely with your healthcare provider to tailor a strategy that suits your needs. In case of severe symptoms like persistent pain or vomiting, quickly seek medical evaluation to rule out significant complications.
