11. Choose Low-Acid Fruit

Eating fruit can feel like a gamble when you have gastritis because so many popular varieties are highly acidic. Play it safe with melons, apples, pears, and bananas.

These low-acid options deliver essential nutrients and fiber without setting off your stomach. Interestingly, one study found that strawberries—despite being acidic—actually protect the gastric mucosa from damage due to their high anthocyanin content. While more research is needed, berries may offer a unique benefit if you can tolerate them.
