When a person suffers from gastric-related ailment, the recuperation process usually involves a strict diet to keep the symptoms in check and to expedite healing. In certain cases, acute gastritis patients have been known to develop chronic hepatitis (i.e. inflammation of the liver) due to inappropriate food intake, which reinforces how important it is for gastric patients to adhere to strict eating guidelines. Furthermore, special attention must also be given on the compositions of the foods taken, as different ingredients have differing effects on various prevailing gastric conditions.

Dietary fiber or cellulose found in food promotes peristalsis and the secretion of intestinal juice, which keeps stool soft and moist so it can be easily passed out from the body. When dietary fiber is missing from daily food intake, it leads to bloating of the abdomen, constipation, and in certain cases, appendicitis and even colon cancer!

B Vitamins, especially Vitamin B1 and B6, help promote peristalsis and improve passing of food from the body - which is turn improves appetite. Some of the common conditions related to inadequate B Vitamins include chronic gastritis, digestive problems and lack of appetite, just to name a few.

Ultimately, dietary fiber and B Vitamins are important components of a healthy diet. Among others, brown rice, cereal grains and crude fiber vegetables are staple foods that should take priorities in a good wholesome diet.
