Problem: Article: Animal protein, particularly red meat, takes a long time to digest and may decrease the amount of good bacteria in your gut. To  help your gut heal, go vegetarian for 1 to 2 days out of the week. Eat plant-based sources of protein like legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains instead of meat.  Make sure to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables on these days as well. Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time so you don’t go hungry on these days. Eating less saturated fat can help heal an unhealthy gut. Foods high in saturated fat include ice cream, butter, fatty meats, cakes, pastries, and pies. Before you buy a product, check the nutrition label to see how much saturated fat the product contains. Products that have more than 5 grams (0.18 oz) per 100 grams (3.5 oz) of saturated fat are high in saturated fat. Sugar also nourishes bad bacteria in your gut. Foods high in sugar include candy, sweetened tea and coffee, soda, alcohol, syrup, honey, and fruit juice. Check products' nutrition labels before you buy them. Products that have more than 22.5 grams (0.8 oz) per 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sugar are high in sugar.  Instead of eating chocolate for dessert, eat a fruit salad. Additionally, reduce the amount of sugar you put in your tea and coffee. Eating a high amount of processed foods can also lead to the growth of bad bacteria in your gut. Limit processed foods like chips, bread, cereal, pasta, lunch meat, bacon, sausage, and fast food. Eat lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and unprocessed foods instead. To make eating at home fast and easy, devote a day, like Sunday, to cooking a large amount of food. Place the cooked food in airtight containers in the freezer. Once you are ready to eat, just reheat the food in the microwave or the oven.
Summary: Replace animal protein with plant protein for 1 to 2 days out of the week. Reduce your consumption of foods that are high in saturated fat. Cut back on foods that are high in sugar. Restrict the amount of processed foods in your diet.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Eating 4-5 small meals during the day, each spaced out by 2 or 3 hours, will let your stomach digest moderate amounts of food with relatively little strain. This will limit your stomach’s acid production and should allow your stomach to heal from gastritis. Eating small meals—and just eating less in general—will also decrease your pain from gastritis (or heartburn).  Also avoid eating for 2 hours before bedtime, since your stomach will produce more acid when digesting food at night. If you get the majority of your calories from low-quality, processed foods, try to eat more high-quality whole and natural foods. Hot spices and condiments stimulate the production of gastric acids and can irritate the stomach. Extra greasy food can do the same, as can fried or acidic foods. Over time, these foods can lead to acute gastritis. So, avoid foods like:  Jalapeno and habanero peppers (even in hot sauce). Deep-friend French fries, hash browns, or onion rings. Citrus fruits, including lemon and lime juices. Hot spices like cayenne or chili powder, mustard, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, and curry. Carrots have natural anti-inflammatory and painkilling properties. Thanks to their high concentration of beta-carotene and fiber, they neutralize excess acid and regulate acidic production. You can eat them raw or cooked; either way, they will help to control your symptoms. Other veggies can help reduce pain from gastritis also. Avocado and squash neutralize excess gastric acid while simultaneously protecting and reducing inflammation in the stomach's mucous membrane. Full-fat dairy can generate inflammation and burning in the stomach. So, choose low-fat dairy and moderate your consumption of these products. This includes items like milk, butter, and yogurt. Especially avoid consuming whole milk, chocolate, and heavy cream. A lot of people consume dairy products in order to counteract stomach acidity, but the relief is only temporary and the symptoms will come back even stronger. Drinks with caffeine—like coffee, green and black teas, and some sodas—can agitate and harm your stomach lining. Even decaffeinated versions of coffee or soft drinks can damage your gastrointestinal membranes and cause gastritis, since they still contain trace amounts of caffeine. Replace these drinks with water and natural non-citrus drinks. You can add honey to drinks like tea to soothe your stomach. Honey has a healing effect on gastric ulcers, and it also combats heartburn. Use it to sweeten drinks throughout the day.
Summary:
Eat several small meals spaced throughout the day. Avoid spicy, greasy, or acidic foods that irritate your stomach lining. Eat carrots 3 or 4 times a week to reduce pain from gastritis. Choose low-fat dairy products to decrease pain from gastritis. Stay away from caffeinated beverages to avoid agitating your stomach.
