Patient's question:
Recently, after dinner, I often feel my stomach is bloated and sometimes burp with acid reflux and heartburn. The heartburn gets worse when I eat acidic foods. I also frequently have diarrhea. At the hospital, after a thorough endoscopy examination, they said it's chronic non-atrophic gastritis. I want to ask if chronic non-atrophic gastritis is serious?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the diagnosis of chronic non-atrophic gastritis should be very clear at present. Overall, this disease is not serious, and with regular medication and dietary adjustments, it should be possible to control it. There are many medications available that can reduce stomach acid, protect the gastric mucosa, and enhance gastrointestinal motility. In terms of diet, it should be light and easy to digest.
