1 Basic information about the disease

In order to know how to eat properly with gastritis, you need to familiarize yourself with the main signs of the disease and the causes of its occurrence. Inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which can take acute and chronic forms, is called gastritis. The main causative agent of the disease is the pathogenic bacteria Helicobacter Pylori.

The development of the disease is largely promoted by the rhythm of modern life: eating on the run, eating dry, constant stress, bad habits, including the abuse of instant coffee. All these factors reduce the resistance of the intestines to pathogenic microorganisms. Another common cause of gastritis is malnutrition: infatuation with fatty, fried or spicy food.

In addition to these factors, the negative effect is taking some medicines or poisoning with chemicals. As a result, the quality of food processing is reduced, which immediately has a negative effect on the entire digestive system.

Symptoms of gastritis appear in 80% of modern people. Their main body is made up of patients, with which gastritis brings tangible harm to the general condition. There are two stages of the disease:

2. Chronic gastritis. At this stage, inflammatory processes are repeated many times. The organ works unstably, the functioning of the whole system worsens, motor and secretory functions are disrupted. Chronic gastritis causes malnutrition for a sufficiently long period. Chronic gastritis is a consequence of inefficient treatment of the acute form of the disease.

Modern methods of diagnosing diseases can determine the exact cause of gastritis and choose the most effective treatment, avoiding deterioration of the patient. Usually, patients are prescribed medications that reduce the acidity of the stomach and kill disease-causing bacteria.

In order for the treatment to be more effective, patients will have to revise their diet with gastric gastritis and adhere to the principles recommended by the treating physician. At the same time, to ensure that the diet has the desired effect, the main cause of the disease should be eliminated.
