Patient's question:
Previously, through a detailed endoscopic examination, the result was chronic mild to moderate atrophic gastritis, with cobblestone-like changes in the gastric antrum mucosa, and not much wriggling secretions. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Chronic atrophic gastritis patients, regardless of their cause, should quit smoking and avoid alcohol, prevent the use of drugs harmful to the gastric mucosa, pay attention to regular dietary habits, and avoid excessively hot, salty, and spicy foods. The key to treatment lies in tonifying qi and warming the middle, promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis. Careful examination of results is necessary. While undergoing medication, attention should be paid to regular dietary habits, moderate rest and activity, and a cheerful mood; avoid extremely cold foods and drinks, as well as alcohol and smoking, and use certain medications cautiously. Patients with intestinal metaplasia should avoid eating fish without scales, preserved eggs, potatoes, spinach, milk, pineapple, etc., and should not drink tea. The diet should be light and simple, and a daily supplement of vitamin C can be added. The condition of gastritis is very serious, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment and adopt a proper diet.
