Patients with atrophic gastritis and erosion can eat eggs, but should avoid overly stir-fried and fried eggs. People with atrophic gastritis should maintain a bland diet and eat small, frequent meals. They should avoid binge eating and drink, and keep regular and moderate eating habits. Additionally, they should avoid foods or medications that may damage or irritate the gastric mucosa, such as quitting smoking and drinking, and avoiding strong tea, coffee, chili peppers, mustard, etc. With atrophic gastritis and erosion, it is important to enhance the body's immunity, and take medications that protect the gastric mucosa. Sometimes, traditional Chinese medicine and herbal treatments can also effectively protect the gastric mucosa.

Is atrophic gastritis negative a problem?

Atrophic gastritis negative generally means there's no major issue. A negative result for atrophic gastritis indicates that the patient is unlikely to have atrophic gastritis. In such cases, it may be considered that there is chronic superficial gastritis. If the patient has symptoms such as acid reflux, belching, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, etc., the use of proton pump inhibitors can be considered to suppress the secretion of stomach acid, and products such as aluminum magnesium carbonate and sucralfate to protect the gastric mucosa. Treatment to promote gastric motility such as Itopride or Mosapride can also be considered. Additionally, it is necessary to conduct a Carbon-13 urea breath test or Carbon-14 urea breath test to check for Helicobacter pylori infection.

Is the cancerous transformation of atrophic gastritis related to the duration of the disease?

The carcinogenesis of atrophic gastritis does not have a significant relationship with the duration of the disease. The main cause of atrophic gastritis is Helicobacter pylori infection, with autoimmune abnormalities and genetic factors also playing a significant role in atrophic gastritis. Sometimes, patients with a short duration of atrophic gastritis may also develop cancer, while those who have had the disease for many years may not necessarily develop cancer. Therefore, once atrophic gastritis is diagnosed, it is important to regularly re-examine with gastroscopy to rule out the possibility of early malignancy.

Atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia what medicine to take

Chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia often arises from untreated chronic superficial gastritis, primarily due to Helicobacter pylori infection. Therefore, it is essential to first check for Helicobacter pylori infection. If an infection is present, quadruple therapy is generally used to eradicate the bacteria, which may improve the atrophy. If there is no Helicobacter pylori infection, treatment mainly involves protecting the gastric mucosa. While there are no specific Western medicines for this, traditional Chinese medicine and a differential diagnosis approach often yield good results. Regular follow-ups are also important. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

How to completely cure atrophic gastritis?

Chronic atrophic gastritis generally develops from chronic non-atrophic gastritis, and the most likely cause may be Helicobacter pylori infection. Of course, there are also other reasons, such as poor dietary habits, emotional factors, etc. In such cases, it is first necessary to check for Helicobacter pylori infection, usually using a breath test. If Helicobacter pylori infection is present, quadruple therapy is generally used for eradication treatment. Eradication of Helicobacter pylori can be very helpful for patients with atrophic gastritis, and in some cases, can partially reverse the atrophy. If there is no Helicobacter pylori infection, symptomatic treatment is generally the main approach. Additionally, conditioning through traditional Chinese medicine can also be very helpful. (Specific medication use should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.)

What fruits should be avoided with atrophic gastritis?

The main dietary restrictions for atrophic gastritis include quitting smoking and drinking. It is important to eat less salty and overly hot foods, and to avoid spicy and irritating foods. In addition, patients should avoid coarse foods and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins. They should eat regularly, have small frequent meals, chew slowly, and maintain a pleasant mood. Patients with atrophic gastritis should maintain a regular diet and have periodic gastroscopy check-ups, as there is a potential for malignancy in atrophic gastritis patients.
