Patient's question:
I would like to ask for advice: Can gastritis be treated with Omeprazole (Losec)? Because I saw that its main indications are for ulcer-related conditions. Why is it that after gastritis or gastric ulcer is treated, it tends to recur more easily than in others? And why does it flare up with even slight dietary imbalances?Doctor's answer:
I'm not very clear about your situation. I don't know how you contracted Helicobacter pylori, whether your gastritis is mild or severe, or if you've had an endoscopy. A clear diagnosis is necessary to provide appropriate treatment.Secondly, dietary management should be followed: Avoid extremely cold foods, such as cold salads, cola, Sprite, and carbonated beverages. Avoid raw, spicy foods like raw garlic, ginger, scallions, chives, green garlic, chili peppers, and bell peppers. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest, such as fried foods, sticky foods, and excessively greasy foods. Additionally, avoid smoking, drinking strong tea, strong coffee, and alcohol. Keep your mouth light and avoid foods with high salt content.
