1 What is gastritis

Gastritis is an acute inflammatory effect on the mucous membrane of the walls of the human stomach, which causes a huge number of unpleasant symptoms. And with different types of this disease, stimuli from the outside act not only by direct pressure on the mucous membrane, but also bypassing the nervous and humoral systems of the body.

External causes of gastritis of any type can be:

• large amount of hot food, food with a huge amount of spices and spices,
• immensity in the use of alcoholic beverages.

To provoke a seizure of gastritis can stale food, in which an incredible number of harmful microorganisms, uncontrolledtaking medications that irritate the walls of the stomach - aspirin, hormones, etc.

Internal causes include:

1. Infectious diseases in which the inflammatory process affects the entire body or several of its systems at once. For example, diseases such as chronic kidney disease, influenza, measles, etc. With these diseases, the protein metabolism is violated in the body, and often its excess gets on the mucosa, as a result, and there is gastritis.
2. In addition, a person suffering from an infectious disease is greatly reduced immunity, so his body is the gateway for bacteria and viruses that attack him without getting a decent rebuff. Settling in large numbers on the walls of internal organs, including the stomach, they cause still accompanying diseases, one of which is gastritis.
3. With the humoral mechanism of penetration into the body, bacteria appear in all liquids, especially in the blood, which disrupts its circulation and causes oxygen deficiency in the tissues, including the walls of the stomach.

There are acute and chronic course of the disease. With acute gastritis, inflammation occurs only on the mucous membrane of the stomach, and the chronic case of the disease triggers an inflammatory process not only of the mucosa, but also moves further into the tissues, which can lead to gastric ulcer. The most dangerous from this point of view is gastritis with high acidity, because with it the gastric juice pours directly onto the walls of the stomach and irritates it to such an extent that the stomach ulcer develops very quickly.

2 Symptoms and Diagnosis of

Disease The main study, based on the results of which a diagnosis of gastritis with high acidity can be diagnosed, is the GFDD procedure, in which a person swallows a hose in which a camera and light are installed. This hose descends to the duodenum, while in all its way the camera removes and displays on the monitor a clinical picture of the internal organs - the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Multiple enlargement helps to see all the microscopic changes on the mucosa and the walls of the stomach and determine the extent of the lesion.

Because gastritis with high acidity is a disease in which lesions can be not only on the mucosa, but also the esophagus and walls, the nature of the inflammation foci itself can be different. They can be superficial and deep, and both should be treated.

As mentioned above, heartburn is one of the main symptoms along with a belch with a sour, pungent odor. And with no other types of gastritis these symptoms do not happen. Therefore, if a person finds himself in such trouble, it is likely symptoms of gastritis with high acidity, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Other factors that may be associated with this disease are:

• nausea;
• and the following vomiting.

Most often, a nauseous process happens on an empty stomach, for example, in the morning, when the body did not receive food for more than eight hours. When vomiting excess products containing a lot of acid, go outside. Sometimes this is the only way to reduce acidity, otherwise there may be an attack in which there may be erosion or an ulcer in the stomach. Night and hungry pains in the stomach are the most unpleasant signs of gastritis with high acidity, since they come mainly at night and provoke insomnia.

As a rule, they can be quenched if you eat a little food that does not contain acid and envelops the stomach.

Excessive appetite or its complete absence can also be symptoms of gastritis, but here everything is individual, because such symptoms are also present in many other diseases. Diarrhea can not always be triggered by gastritis, but constipation and bloating - yes. Smoking and alcohol can provoke an attack of the disease, especially if there are many.

3 Methods of treatment

Gastritis refers to gastrointestinal diseases, therefore the doctor who treats this disease is a gastroenterologist. Before appointing treatment for gastritis with high acidity, the doctor directs the patient to take some tests, do an EGF, and then draw conclusions. Many types and types of gastritis require a careful and slow approach to the disease, because they are all treated with different medications. Treatment of gastritis with high acidity includes several stages.

1. If the inflammatory process is shallow and superficial, then tablets from gastritis will not be needed. In such cases, the doctor can prescribe a special diet, lifestyle changes and getting rid of smoking and alcohol dependence, if such bad habits are present. The desire and will of the patient will be of great importance here, because the treatment does not take one day, it is quite long in time. Then it is very difficult to get rid of bad habits, especially if they are not already the first year.
2. When the changes in the mucosa are deep, then the treatment of gastritis with increased acidity will proceed with the help of medications. If the disease is acute, then the treatment will take place in two stages. First, it is necessary to lower the level of the release of gastric juice containing a large amount of hydrochloric acid, thereby reducing the pain syndrome. This can help drugs that reduce the effect of acid to a minimum, and you need to change the diet, eliminating products that increase acidity. Pain can be removed by anesthetic drugs, which the gastroenterologist will appoint only after determining the level of pain syndrome. If the pain is not pronounced, then you can do without drugs that alleviate the pain. For the treatment of gastritis with high acidity, along with pain medication, drugs are used that neutralize the acid in the stomach. These are the so-called antacids, which include magnesium and aluminum. These drugs act directly in the stomach, since they do not enter the bloodstream.
3. After relieving pain and lowering the level of acid, you can proceed to the second stage of treatment. With gastritis with high acidity, it is very important to colonize the walls of the stomach with beneficial microorganisms that will prevent the reproduction of the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which corrodes the gastric mucosa. To do this, drugs are used against gastritis that envelop the walls of the stomach and create a protective layer through which damage will not occur.
4. If a person has found symptoms of gastritis with high acidity, it is important to switch to a diet as soon as possible, which will help to stop attacks of the disease. The diet is quite strict, it excludes everything that is sharp, salty, sour, fried. Fruits should be eaten as little as possible, and alcohol and smoking are unacceptable. The break between meals should not be more than 3 hours, while portions should not be more than 200 grams at a time. Ready meals should be comfortable temperature, by no means hot. If the doctor has recommended eating rubbed food, then follow these recommendations.

4 Interesting facts about gastritis

Gastritis is a very common disease, therefore its nature has long been interested in the minds of scientists. From the very beginning of the detection of this disease it was believed that this gastric juice, released during digestion of food, corrodes the mucous membrane, because 80% of it consists of hydrochloric acid. And acidity rises in the case of nervous experiences and overeating. But in the 90s of the last century, scientists Robin Warren and Barry Marshall, devoting a large amount of time to the study of this disease, came to the conclusion that only one bacterium Helicobacter Pylori is able to survive in an aggressive acidic environment, and rapidly multiplying on the mucosa, causing erosive damage.

And it can be infected in everyday conditions elementary: through a common towel, using someone else's toothbrush, common utensils, saliva, etc. Both these scientists received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2005.Another interesting fact - the bacterium Helikobakter Pilori lives in the stomachs of almost 70% of the world's population, but the patients with gastritis, although a lot, but several orders of magnitude lower. Therefore, it can be concluded that the disease has entered the active phase, a number of conditions are needed that will trigger the course of the disease.

To treat gastritis with high acidity, you can use a pumpkin. Of all vegetables and fruits, it is most useful in this disease, as it contains vitamin T, in addition to all other groups of vitamins and carotene. Vitamin T is very rare in nature, and in fact it helps the body to recover from diseases and inflammatory processes. There is no equal in how to treat this disease, and potatoes, because it contains starch. He gently covers the stomach, and potato juice is recommended to drink recipes of traditional medicine in the treatment of gastritis.

5 Conclusion

Some symptoms, whose treatment is similar to the treatment of other diseases, for example, vomiting, nausea, bloating, can lead to a correct diagnosis. Therefore, do not self-medicate, especially if the symptoms are often repeated. To be treated with medicines or simply a diet, or folk remedies, of course, the patient, but the signs of the disease can only be compensated by combined treatment. If, after all, the patient decided to heal on his own, then in no case should not abuse any of the drugs. This can lead to a violation of the gastric secretion and mucous membrane, which subsequently leads to an ulcer or even stomach cancer. Treatment should be strictly dosage, preparations of high quality and proper purpose. If there are difficulties, the attending physician will help them overcome, while giving useful advice.

As a rule, the reasons for the increase in the level of hydrochloric acid can be provoked by many factors, which have so far been little understood. It is possible to say with high probability that gastritis is a disease of the present time, when people, trying to remake as many things as possible per day, have a snack on the go, eat dry, drink with sweet fizzy drinks. And most importantly - the food is absorbed very quickly, often almost on the run. Especially it concerns young people who prefer home-made food to surrogates of fast food, where there is a lot of fat, acid, seasonings and spices. In the treatment of gastritis, these people, as often happens, do not even suspect that it could provoke the disease. Therefore, no one has yet canceled diet and proper healthy nutrition, and the diet will help to solve some other problems that are so characteristic of the young - skin and figure defects.
