For chronic gastritis and gastric erosion, it is important to control the diet by eating fresh vegetables and foods that are easy to digest. Avoid overly spicy and cold foods. Additionally, adjust your daily routine to avoid staying up late and maintain a reasonable schedule. Also, control your emotions to prevent excessive stress and fatigue. Appropriate medical treatment should be considered, such as using medications to protect the stomach lining, reduce stomach acid secretion, and appropriately using antibiotics for treatment. Most importantly, regular check-ups are crucial. (Please take medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

How to treat dry heaving in chronic gastritis?

Patients with chronic gastritis who experience dry retching should consider whether it is due to insufficient gastrointestinal motility or excessive secretion of gastric acid. It is recommended to avoid overly spicy and irritating foods, eat regularly and in proper amounts, and maintain a pleasant mood without being disturbed by anxiety, sadness, and anger. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins is also advisable. At the same time, try to avoid using drugs that damage the gastric mucosa, such as hormones, antirheumatics, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.

Does chronic gastritis require medication?

Chronic gastritis often has no clinical symptoms, but this condition still requires medication treatment. The duration of medication must be long-term and regular, primarily focusing on drugs that suppress gastric acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa. If the inflammation is relatively significant, antibiotics can be chosen; in cases of Helicobacter pylori infection, a triple therapy, which includes two antibiotics and a gastric mucosa protective agent, can be opted for. Additionally, it is crucial to pay attention to daily life routines, eat a light diet, avoid raw, greasy, and fried foods, and rest well to gradually recover from gastritis.

Is chronic gastritis contagious?

Chronic gastritis is not a contagious disease, so it is not infectious. Chronic gastritis is a disease caused by various pathological factors leading to mucosal damage, and it is directly related to Helicobacter pylori infection. The treatment mainly aims to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, alleviate symptoms, suppress gastric acid secretion, protect the gastric mucosa, and reduce the recurrence of the disease. Additionally, during treatment, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, eating soft and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Appropriate outdoor exercise and maintaining a pleasant mood have a positive effect on the treatment of chronic gastritis.

What should someone with chronic gastritis eat normally?

For patients with chronic gastritis, we recommend avoiding irritant foods and opting for foods that cause less irritation to the stomach. Avoid overly acidic or sweet foods. It is suggested that patients keep foods like steamed buns and soda crackers, which are alkaline, on hand. Try to avoid consumption of raw, cold, hard, or hot foods, as well as tea, coffee, and substances like tobacco and alcohol, which are highly irritating to the stomach.

What are the symptoms of chronic gastritis?

Chronic gastritis does not have specific symptoms, and the severity of the symptoms does not necessarily correspond to the severity of the disease. Common symptoms include pain in the upper middle abdomen, belching, acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, a feeling of fullness after eating, poor appetite, and indigestion. In severe cases of atrophic gastritis, patients may experience symptoms such as anemia and weight loss. Some patients may also experience psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression. If a patient experiences the above symptoms, it is recommended to promptly conduct a gastroscopy to confirm the diagnosis. It is also advisable to conduct a carbon-14 breath test to determine the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection, as this infection is a major cause of chronic gastritis. After confirming the diagnosis, appropriate treatment should be administered.
