Add as Preferred SourceThings worth knowing about "Gastritis"
Gastritis is an inflammatory disease of the stomach lining that can be acute or chronic.
Stomach inflammation is often caused by excessive stomach acid production, an infection with Helicobacter pylori, prolonged stress, the intake of medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or an unhealthy diet. The most common symptoms include stomach pain, a feeling of pressure in the upper abdomen, nausea, flatulence, heartburn and loss of appetite. In severe cases, vomiting or stomach haemorrhaging can occur, which is characterised by black stools or blood in the vomit. Chronic gastritis can also impair the absorption of essential nutrients such as iron, which can lead to deficiency symptoms in the long term.
The treatment depends on the cause. If there is a Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic therapy is often used, combined with acid blockers such as proton pump inhibitors, to promote mucosal healing. These drugs can reduce stomach acid production in the long term, which can affect the intestinal flora and impair the absorption of certain nutrients such as vitamin B12 and magnesium. Natural measures can help to regenerate the stomach lining and alleviate inflammation. Lactoferrin is increasingly being researched as it has antibacterial properties, can act against Helicobacter pylori and can also have anti-inflammatory effects. L-glutamine, an essential amino acid, also plays an important role in the regeneration of mucosal cells and can support the barrier function of the stomach.
Certain medicinal plants such as liquorice root, camomile, aloe vera and flaxseed have a soothing effect on the stomach lining and can promote the natural production of mucus, which protects the stomach wall. An adapted diet with easily digestible, low-acid foods is crucial for healing. Porridge, steamed vegetables, low-fat proteins and healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids, which have an anti-inflammatory effect, are recommended. Avoiding alcohol, caffeine, spicy or fatty foods and smoking can help to alleviate the symptoms and prevent re-inflammation. As stress plays a significant role in the development of gastritis, relaxation techniques such as meditation, breathing exercises or targeted stress management strategies can be helpful in regulating stomach acid production.
In order to prevent gastritis or alleviate existing symptoms, a conscious diet, a reduction in stress and targeted support for the gastric mucosa are essential. A combination of conventional and natural measures can promote healing and minimise the risk of recurring inflammation.
