8 Juices For Combating Gastritis
If you have a feeling of discomfort after meals, loss of appetite, tenderness or abdominal pain in the stomach or worse – experience vomiting or nausea, then, you may have gastritis.
This health condition happens when your stomach’s lining gets swollen or inflamed. It can last for a short while like in the case of acute gastritis but this could lead to being chronic which can last for months or maybe years if not given proper attention to it.
The common causes could be derived from some pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs, too much alcohol intake, bile reflux, anemia, drug abuse, extreme stress, stomach infection brought about by helicobacter pylori, and many others.
Doctors may advise the use of antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or H2 antagonists in treating it but it is highly suggested that avoiding foods that could trigger it, or further the level of pain can help.
