Patient's question:
My mom is 50 years old... She has been feeling unwell lately... She went to the hospital for an endoscopy of the stomach!! The result was gastritis with erosion!! It seems there is also some mucosa... Sometimes she feels hungry in her stomach... Other than that, she just feels tired all over and generally uncomfortable. How should gastritis with erosion be treated?Doctor's answer:
If you have gastritis, don't worry about your diet, but still be cautious and avoid spicy and cold foods. Eat smaller, more frequent meals and consider taking some medication to reduce acid and protect the mucous membrane. There are several options, such as acid-reducing drugs like Omeprazole and mucosal-protecting drugs like Sucralfate or Bismuth Colloidal. These can be very effective.When asked by the doctor: Gastritis can cause significant harm to patients. Once you notice your symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care—eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid irritating foods.
