National data shows that the prevalence of gastritis has been reported to reach 40.8% of the population. In the context of public health, the incidence of gastritis is significantly influenced by diet, particularly the consumption of foods that can irritate the stomach. Local food is food produced, processed, and consumed locally, such as traditional foods made from tubers, local agricultural products, and traditional dishes. Local food consumption patterns are often influenced by customs, culture, and food availability.
