About Gastritis :
Gastritis is not a single disease, but several different conditions that all
have inflammation of the stomach lining. Gastritis can be caused by drinking too
much alcohol, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
such as aspirin or ibuprofen, or infection with bacteria such as Helicobacter
pylori (H. pylori). Sometimes gastritis develops after major surgery, traumatic
injury, burns, or severe infections. Certain diseases, such as pernicious
anemia, autoimmune disorders, and chronic bile reflux, can cause gastritis as
well.
Symptoms of Gastritis :
The most common symptoms are abdominal upset or pain. Other symptoms are
belching, abdominal bloating, nausea, and vomiting or a feeling of fullness or
of burning in the upper abdomen. Blood in your vomit or black stools may be a
sign of bleeding in the stomach, which may indicate a serious problem requiring
immediate medical attention. Also: Coated tongue, bad breath and loss of
appetite.
Causes of Gastritis :
Irregular and or excessive eating and worry and anxiety are major causes of
Gastritis.
The most frequent cause of gastritis is a dietetic indiscretion such as habitual
overeating; eating of badly combined or improperly cooked foods; excessive
intake of strong tea, coffee, or alcoholic drinks; or habitual use of large
quantities of condiments and sauces.
Other causes include worry, anxiety, grief, and prolonged tension, use of
certain drugs, strong acids, and caustic substances.
Preventing Gastritis :
The most recommended way to avoid gastritis is to avoid those things that
irritate or inflame your stomach's lining.
* Caffeine and other caffeine like substances
* Aspirin (use coated aspirin if you must take aspirin)
* NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or naproxen (Naprosyn)
* Alcohol
* Smoking
If your health care provider has prescribed a medication that you think is
causing gastritis symptoms, talk to him or her before you stop taking the
medication. The medication may be very important for your health.
A Recommended Diet For Those Suffering From Gastritis :
Fasting and water :
The patient should undertake a fast for two of three days or more, depending on
the severity of the condition. He should be given only warm water to drink
during this period. This will give rest to the stomach and allow the toxic
condition causing the inflammation to subside.
All-fruit diet:
After the acute symptoms subside, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for
the next three days and take juicy fruits such as apples, pears, grapes,
grapefruit, oranges, pineapple, peaches, and melons.
Avoid alcohol, tobacco, spices, meat, sweet, strong tea/coffee :
The patient should avoid the use of alcohol, tobacco, spices and condiments,
meat, red pepper, sour foods, pickles, strong tea and coffee. He should also
avoid sweet, pastries, rich cakes, and, aerated waters.
Have curd and cottage cheese :
Curds and cottage cheese should be used freely. Too many different foods should
not be mixed at the same meal. Meals should be taken at least two hours before
going to bed at night. Eight to ten glasses of water should be taken daily but
water should not be taken with meals as it dilutes the digestive juices and
delays digestion. Above all, haste should be avoided while eating and meals
should be served in a pleasing and relaxed atmosphere.
Well-balanced diet :
He may, thereafter, gradually embark upon a balanced diet consisting of seeds,
nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits
