What medication is good for atrophic gastritis?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What medicine is good for atrophic gastritis?

Doctor's answer:

Atrophic gastritis is mainly due to a lack of gastric acid, insufficient acidity, um, abnormal excretion of gastric mucosal cells, leading to increased or decreased gastric acid secretion. Therefore, patients with atrophic gastritis should use acid-reducing drugs as little as possible, mainly for symptomatic treatment, such as promoting blood circulation, appropriate use, and increasing bowel movements. Some acidic foods, such as vinegar, can be consumed. Atrophic gastritis is prone to canceration, so it is necessary to pay attention to regular follow-up gastroscopy and pathological examination when necessary.
