Patient's question:
Which is the most severe type of gastritis? Is gastritis always caused by long-term consumption of many irritating foods? Is chronic erythematous gastritis the most frustrating and hardest to treat type of gastritis among all gastritis? Is there a specific medicine for chronic erythematous gastritis?Doctor's answer:
You are mainly experiencing chronic erythema gastritis due to consuming too many spicy, hot, and irritating foods recently, which often leads to stomach bloating and pain. It is recommended to follow a light diet and primarily take anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to medications that protect the gastric mucosa, you can also use drugs that reduce gastric motility in combination. Furthermore, you can try traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion, targeting the Zusanli acupoint, or consult a TCM practitioner for herbal remedies to strengthen the spleen and stomach.
