Dietary Tips for Gastritis (2/12) When the stomach lining becomes irritated during gastritis, a small amount of acid escapes through the opening at the top of the stomach and into the esophagus -- this condition is known as acid reflux. Following a nutritious, non-spicy diet can help eliminate the symptoms of gastritis and acid reflux. Fill your plate with whole grains, almonds, beans and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables. Avoid fried and fatty foods, coffee, alcohol, chocolate and anything spicy -- like peppers and chili powder.

Disclosure of what the authors call a hidden risk could affect sales of sugar-free products, especially given what the paper describes as consumers' blind confidence in such products as a good thing.
