Patient's question:
I've had stomach discomfort for a year. I've had an endoscopy, CT, ultrasound, and blood sugar tests, all of which were normal. However, I feel like I've lost a lot of weight. Sometimes I burp a lot, but I don't lose my appetite for dinner. What are the symptoms of chronic atrophic gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Your condition should be a manifestation of erosive gastritis, which is also a common gastrointestinal issue. Currently, treatment focuses on protecting the gastric mucosa and enhancing gastric motility. I personally recommend a combined therapy of bismuth potassium citrate, erythromycin, metronidazole, and omeprazole, which should yield good results. Additionally, avoid eating soda crackers, and adopt the habit of eating small, frequent meals at regular times. Besides treating chronic atrophic gastritis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to strengthen their constitution and slow down the recovery process.
