Patient's question:
Due to frequently skipping meals in the past for dieting, I now suffer from chronic gastritis, which is especially painful. Sometimes, eating something stimulating can cause pain for a long time. The doctor said I need to adjust my diet properly and pay attention to deep sleep. I have insomnia. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Dietary Precautions1. Always maintain a cheerful spirit: Depression or excessive tension and fatigue can easily lead to dysfunction of the pyloric sphincter, causing bile reflux and recurring chronic gastritis.
2. Quit smoking and avoid alcohol.
3. Use medications that may damage the gastric mucosa cautiously or avoid them altogether.
4. Avoid drinking strong tea, strong coffee, and other stimulating beverages.
Preventive Measures for the Disease
Prevention of recurrent chronic gastritis is more important than treatment. Adhere to the following principles:
1. Always maintain a cheerful spirit. Depression or excessive tension and fatigue can easily lead to dysfunction of the pyloric sphincter, causing bile reflux and recurring chronic gastritis.
2. Quit smoking and avoid alcohol. Harmful components in tobacco can force increased gastric acid secretion, producing harmful stimulation to the gastric mucosa. Excessive smoking can lead to bile reflux.
