Gastritis is the second most commondisease, after all sorts of ARVI and ARI. Doctors allocate a lot of varieties of gastritis, but they are divided into two main groups - gastritis with high acidity and with decreased. Today we'll talk about the first option - with an increased level of acidity of gastric juice. And first we will find out what can provoke the development of such a gastritis? Gastritis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach, which means that the cause of development is the effect of various aggressive facts on this very mucous membrane. In addition, in a number of cases, the main cause of gastritis is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. So:
- Improper diet
Unfortunately, the diet of modern manoften leaves much to be desired. Referring to the constant employment, we prefer fast food or, at best, semi-finished products. And about a healthy diet, we simply forget. And such food is the main enemy of the stomach - a month, the other and gastritis is almost assured.
- Stressful situations
Constant stress situations and chronicfatigue also very often provoke the development of gastritis. Why this happens is difficult to explain even to doctors. But the fact remains - in relation to a gastritis the expression "all illnesses from nerves" is actual for all hundred percent.
- Bad habits
The use of alcoholic beverages, largeamounts of caffeine, smoking also very severely injures the gastric mucosa. Almost all smokers, lovers of the "green snake" and ardent coffee fans sooner or later will learn from their own experience what gastritis is. 
Symptoms of the disease
Gastritis very often very long timeproceeds without any external manifestations - a person may not even suspect the presence of the disease. However, sooner or later - as the disease progresses - the symptoms will still make themselves felt. Pay attention - the symptoms can vary quite strongly. One person may have only one or two signs of gastritis, and the other - immediately all the symptoms, and even very pronounced. Everything depends on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the organism of each individual person. Pay attention - we will tell you only about the symptoms of gastritis, taking place against the background of an increased level of acidity of gastric juice.
- Painful sensations
One of the first and most distinctive symptomsgastritis with high acidity are just pain. All other signs are attached later. And it is not surprising - in fact hydrochloric acid, a part of the gastric juice, continuously has an irritant effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach. And she will not slow to respond with pain - and quite a lot of intense, localized in the epigastric region.
- Belching and heartburn
In almost all cases, the sick personcomplains of severe heartburn - and it occurs either on an empty stomach or after a meal. But a steady eructation almost always appears shortly after eating - about 15-20 minutes later. These phenomena seriously annoy the sick person, depriving him of peace.
- Impairment of appetite, weight loss
As the disease progresses, especially inperiods of its aggravation - a sick person can almost completely lose his appetite. And no wonder - just one spoonful of soup can create a feeling of such overcrowding of the stomach, as if a person, as they say, ate an elephant. Yes, and the pain that occurs after eating, make themselves felt. 
Treatment of gastritis with high acidity
It is inadmissible to let the disease onDrift - Complications can be the most unpredictable. It is very important to start the correct treatment in a timely manner - and in no case should you take any medications yourself. All medications should be prescribed by a gastroenterologist, only after a complete examination and taking into account the individualities of the organism of the sick person. But very much depends on the sick person. In particular, strict adherence to all prescriptions and recommendations of the attending physician is very important. In addition, do not forget about the need to strictly adhere to a therapeutic diet, without which no treatment will not have the desired effect - at best, signs of the disease will disappear. And then for a little while. In the acute stage of the disease, the diet is the most severe - a complete lack of food. This is necessary in order to mobilize the body's internal reserves, and self-healing of the gastric mucosa began. Approximately two or three days a sick person can drink only unsweetened slightly boiled black tea or alkaline mineral water. After that, you need to gradually enter products - from the list of allowed. In the event that a person has gastritis with an increased level of acidity of gastric juice, the following products are strictly contraindicated to him:
- Stimulating the production of gastric juice
Alcoholic, carbonated, caffeinated drinks. All kinds of fruit and vegetable juices, except potato, legumes and cabbage.
- Damaging the gastric mucosa
Sharp, smoked and salty dishes, foods,containing artificial preservatives and colorants. Fatty grades of meat, poultry and fish, sour vegetables and fruits, radish. All dishes should be moderately warm - high and low temperatures have a very negative effect on the condition of the gastric mucosa. The same applies to the way food is prepared - it is best to cook the products, cook them in pairs or bake in the oven. At first glance, the restrictions may seem quite tough. But believe me - a similar diet will greatly improve not only the condition of the mucous membrane of the stomach, but the whole body. Over time, proper nutrition will become a habit. And notice - a very useful habit! After all, there is a huge space for culinary fantasy. So, the allowed products are:
