Exacerbation of gastritis is a problem that is very familiarmany people. Doctors most often encounter this disease in the summer. This pattern is explained by several factors: firstly, many representatives of the fair sex, on the eve of warm days, begin to actively fight excess weight. Very strict and unsafe diets are used, which negatively affect the condition of the stomach. In general, everything that should never be done. In addition, in the summer, the air temperature is very high, so the likelihood of eating spoiled food increases. And the amount of fruits and vegetables in the diet increases several times. And this also creates a certain load on the gastric mucosa. In addition, such factors as various stressful situations, chronic fatigue syndrome, various bad habits - smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, even low-alcohol ones - can influence the exacerbation of the disease. And, of course, in no case should you lose sight of such an important aspect as nutrition. Improper nutrition with a very high degree of probability can lead to the development of gastritis in the acute and chronic stages.
Symptoms of exacerbation of gastritis
Before I start talking about how to deal withexacerbation of gastritis, let's refresh our memory of what this disease is. As you know, the stomach is lined with a mucous membrane. And if it is exposed to aggressive influence, an inflammatory process develops. This phenomenon is called gastritis. Moreover, the severity of the disease and its stages directly depend on the degree of damage to the gastric mucosa. In some cases, gastritis can proceed for a very long time without any symptoms. However, this is a very deceptive lull - sooner or later gastritis will make itself known in full. And the sensations at the same time can cause a lot of unpleasant sensations to the sick person. So, the symptoms of gastritis and signs of its presence:
- Painful sensations Almost always, early orlate, but there are pain in the stomach. The pain can be very acute, or, on the contrary, pulling. The pain can be either constant or periodic, occurring after taking harmful food, or on an empty stomach - all very individually. But the pain symptoms, like the signs of the disease, are almost always present.
- Nausea and / or vomiting In some cases - andquite often - gastritis is accompanied by a feeling of nausea, and sometimes even vomiting. Sometimes these phenomena occur on an empty stomach, sometimes - soon after eating. Everything depends on the individual characteristics of the organism of each particular person, as well as on the type of gastritis. But this manifestation of gastritis should not be forgotten either.
- Disruption of the bowel In some casesa constant companion of gastritis are various disorders of the intestine. And, as a result, the patient has symptoms such as regular constipation or diarrhea.
Treatment of gastritis
Of course, an exacerbation of chronic gastritis is notin no case should it be ignored. Unfortunately, most often people are very careless about their health, considering gastritis to be something insignificant, like a slight runny nose. However, this is not true at all - gastritis can lead to the development of such phenomena dangerous to human health and life as, for example, gastric ulcer or even cancer. Agree, a very bleak prospect. Especially considering the fact that it is quite possible to get rid of gastritis. And it is not so difficult to treat it, the main thing is to know how. And also to know the symptoms of the disease in order to react in time and not bring the disease to a severe stage. The first thing you need to do, noticing the first symptoms of gastritis in yourself is to seek help from a gastroenterologist as soon as possible. As a rule, the doctor will examine the sick person, listen to all his complaints and, for a more accurate diagnosis, prescribe FGDS - an endoscopic examination of the gastric mucosa. Based on all the data received, having assessed the symptoms, the doctor will make a final accurate diagnosis. And, accordingly, prescribe the necessary treatment. Treatment in all cases is complex. And diet plays an important role in treatment. Nutrition is very important, since gastritis is an inflammatory process that affects the gastric mucosa. This means that it is very important what exactly gets into the stomach during the disease. Firstly, it is necessary to completely exclude such products from the diet as:
- Smoked sausages and sausages Leave sausages andother smoked products at better times. Do not even eat milk sausages and sausages, which seem at first sight quite harmless. Unfortunately, the quality of modern products leaves much to be desired. And the extra preservatives your stomach does not need. Be sure to revise your diet. Otherwise, everything can turn into exacerbated gastritis.
- Carbonated drinks, coffee and alcohol Probably,do not say that coffee and alcohol have a very strong irritating effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach - this is understandable to everyone. However, ordinary mineral carbonated water and lemonades cause harm no less, and sometimes even more. Therefore, for the period of sickness, drinking only weak tea and non-carbonated drinking water. Even juices - and those are extremely harmful during a gastritis. And it's not just the fruit acid, but also the preservatives, which are added to the juices in order to keep them longer.
- Tomato paste, tomatoes Tomatoes have a very strong effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach, so they are also completely abandoned.
- Fried, fatty foods Fatty foods alsohave a very heavy load on the stomach. Therefore, make sure that all food is light enough and easy to digest. In addition, pay attention to the fact that a very important factor is not only what you eat, but also how these products are cooked. Do not eat fried foods - there are a huge number of ways to cook them differently. It is best to give preference to boiled, baked or steamed dishes. Of course, some of them will not turn out so delicious, but health is much more important! Therefore, the diet should be strictly dietary. Diet with exacerbation of gastritis - a prerequisite for the treatment to benefit!
We won't talk about drug treatment,since only a doctor can prescribe it. If you try to self-medicate and start taking any medications on your own, your health will only get worse. Therefore, you should not experiment. But there are a number of ways to treat gastritis at home. However, pay special attention - these recipes can only be an addition to the main treatment prescribed by the doctor, but not a replacement for it. And be sure to consult with your doctor - those remedies that are ideal for one person can worsen the health of another. So, let's start the story with general advice:
- A glass of water Folk medicine recommends people,suffering from gastritis, in the morning, immediately after awakening, on an empty stomach to drink one glass of cold clean water. This will help remove from the walls of the stomach mucus, accumulated on the mucous membrane overnight.
- Mode of food intake To all people without exception,suffering from diseases of the stomach, doctors recommend eating very small portions, so as not to load the stomach, but often enough that it is not empty. This measure will also help to cure gastritis much more quickly.
- Temperature regime of foodThe temperature of the food you eat. It should not be too cold or too hot. And in any case do not mix them - for example, do not wash down the ice cream with hot coffee. This should not be done in any case!
- Use of fiberso that your diet contains enough fiber - it not only has a beneficial effect on the intestinal mucosa, but also stimulates the digestive tract as a whole. The greatest amount of fiber is found in raw fruits and vegetables. But since a large amount of fruit to eat with gastritis is undesirable, lean on vegetables.
