Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling nauseous and not wanting to eat, especially greasy foods. My stomach isn't doing well, and I often feel like retching, nauseous, vomiting, and bloated. It feels like there's a lot of gas inside. I took stomach medicine, but it didn't help much, and I've also lost some weight. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, they said it was gastritis.What kind of help I'm looking for: How is chronic gastritis treated?
Doctor's answer:
Gastritis refers to a chronic inflammation confined to the gastric antrum, with the primary inflammation mostly limited to the mucosal layer but may also extend to the muscular or serosal layer. In the inflamed areas, edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and fibrosis of fibrous tissue occur, causing the local area to thicken and even narrow; in some cases, there may be surface irregularities of the mucosa and changes in intestinal gland epithelialization. Dietary attention is recommended, following a balanced diet. During periods of pain recurrence, low-fiber semi-liquid or soft foods should be provided. Avoid coarse fiber, hard, tendon-rich, and fried foods. Additionally, in terms of treatment, a quadruple therapy is recommended, which can be administered through the intake of Omeprazole + Bismuth Pectin + Metronidazole + Amoxicillin for better therapeutic effects.
