For acute gastritis with vomiting, you can drink millet porridge, rice soup, or vegetable soup. These foods have the least irritation to the gastric mucosa and will not aggravate vomiting by irritating the stomach lining. Additionally, active medical treatment should be pursued, commonly involving protectors of the gastric mucosa, drugs that suppress gastric acid secretion, and antispasmodic analgesics. In daily life, it's also important to maintain a regular diet, eating three well-timed and measured meals, and avoiding raw, cold, spicy foods, as well as avoiding strong tea, coffee, and hard liquor that may harm the gastric mucosa. Ensure meals are eaten at consistent times without overeating. Regular patterns of rest and appropriate outdoor exercise can positively impact gastrointestinal health. (Medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor based on individual circumstances.)

How to treat acute gastritis?

Acute gastritis is generally caused by drugs or stress, resulting in acute gastric mucosal injury. For treatment, proton pump inhibitors such as esomeprazole or pantoprazole can be used to suppress stomach acid. Alternatively, H2 receptor antagonists like cimetidine or famotidine can be used, but their effects are not as good as those of proton pump inhibitors. In addition to acid-suppressing medications, drugs that protect the gastric mucosa should also be used. Moreover, if there is damage to the gastric mucosa, treatments that promote the repair of the gastric mucosa, such as the recovery solution, should be applied. Diet should also be considered, ensuring it is light and regular. The cause should be clearly identified; if it is drug-induced, the drug should be discontinued, and if it is due to emotional stress, efforts should be made to soothe the emotions. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor)

What foods should be avoided with acute gastritis?

Acute gastritis often presents with symptoms such as abdominal pain, acid reflux, vomiting, and heartburn. Under a gastroscope, the mucous membrane often appears clearly congested and swollen, and there may even be signs of acute inflammation, such as erosion and bleeding spots. Therefore, while coordinating with medication treatment, it is crucial to pay attention to dietary habits. In terms of diet, it should not only provide nutritional support but also minimize irritation to the stomach. For example, soft foods like rice, noodles, and porridge should be staple foods. Fresh vegetables, fish soup, and meat broth can all add nutrition. Try to avoid excessively cold, greasy, spicy foods, alcoholic beverages, and very hot or hard foods. It is advisable to eat small meals frequently.

Symptoms of acute gastritis

The symptoms of acute gastritis mainly include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, reduced appetite, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. These symptoms can significantly impact normal life and work. Therefore, active treatment is necessary, mainly using medications that inhibit gastric acid secretion to protect the gastric mucosa, as well as medications that promote gastrointestinal motility. If there is an infection with Helicobacter pylori, it is essential to eradicate this bacterium. Additionally, dietary adjustments should be made, such as consuming soft, easily digestible foods and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. Engaging in outdoor activities and maintaining physical and mental health are also important. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

How long does acute gastritis take to recover?

Acute gastritis generally recovers slowly over about a week with active treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to the treatment of the cause and symptomatic treatment. Mainly, the patient should rest in bed and stop all food or medicine that irritates the stomach. Additionally, medications that relieve spasms and pain, protect the gastric mucosa, and suppress gastric acid secretion should be used. Acute gastritis often occurs with enteritis; if vomiting and diarrhea are frequent, oral rehydration should be administered promptly, and more severe cases may require intravenous fluids. During treatment, dietary adjustments should be considered, including eating soft, easily digestible foods. If vomiting is frequent, the patient should refrain from eating and drink more water, consuming more vegetables to supplement dietary fiber.
