Abstract
The increases in the proportion of older adults in the population results mainly from a lengthening life expectancy and also form declining birth rates ( Robinson, 2004). So, with the dramatic increase of the aging population, the study and care of gastrointestinal disorders in the elderly have become priority topics for both clinicians and researchers ( Karger, 2004). Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining. White blood cells move into the wall of the stomach lining . White blood cells move in to the wall of the stomach as a response to some type of injury ( Thal, 2003). In Egypt, the problem affects approximately 755,577 persons ( US Census Bureau, 2004). Diet therapy is often an important part of medical treatment for a patient with a disease of the gastrointestinal system.
