Homeopathy treatment for Gastritis
The term gastritis should be reserved for histologically documented inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
Overview
Overview of
Gastritis
Gastritis
is a general term for a group of conditions with one thing in common: Inflammation of the lining of the stomach. The inflammation of gastritis is most often the result of infection with the same bacterium that causes most stomach ulcers or the regular use of certain pain relievers. Drinking too much alcohol also can contribute to gastritis.
Gastritis
may occur suddenly (acute gastritis) or appear slowly over time (chronic gastritis). In some cases, gastritis can lead to ulcers and an increased risk of stomach cancer. For most people, however, gastritis isn’t serious and improves quickly with treatment.
Types
Types of
Gastritis
–
There are mainly two types of gastritis – acute and chronic.
1. Acute
Gastritis
– This type causes pain and swelling in the stomach and does not last for a long period of time or it goes away within few days.
2. Chronic
Gastritis
– This refers to the condition lasting a longer period of time. Some may have chronic gastritis and not realize because the signs are dull and not severe.
Causes
Causes of
Gastritis
Gastritis
occurs when something damages or weakens the stomach lining (mucosa). Different things can trigger the problem, including:
Alcohol abuse:
Chronic alcohol use can irritate and erode the stomach lining.
Autoimmune disease:
In some people, the body’s immune system attacks healthy cells in the stomach lining.
Bacterial infection:
H. pylori bacteria are the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease
(stomach ulcers). The bacteria break down the stomach’s protective lining and cause inflammation.
Bile reflux:
The liver makes bile to help you digest fatty foods. “Reflux” means flowing back. Bile reflux occurs when bile flows back into the stomach instead of moving through the small intestine.
Medications:
Steady use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids to manage chronic pain can irritate the stomach lining.
Physical stress:
A sudden, severe illness or injury can bring on gastritis. Often, gastritis develops even after a trauma that doesn’t involve the stomach. Severe burns and brain injuries are two common causes.
Frequently take Spicy food.
Allergy to certain food.
Risk factors
Risk factors of
Gastritis
Factors that increase your risk of gastritis include:
Bacterial infection-
Although infection with Helicobacter pylori is among the most common worldwide human infections, only some people with the infection develop gastritis or other upper gastrointestinal disorders. Doctors believe vulnerability to the bacterium could be inherited or could be caused by lifestyle choices, such as smoking and diet.
Regular use of pain relievers-
Pain relievers commonly referred to as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) — such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve, Anaprox DS) — can cause both acute gastritis and chronic gastritis. Using these pain relievers regularly or taking too much of these drugs may reduce a key substance that helps preserve the protective lining of your stomach.
Older age-
Older adults have an increased risk of gastritis because the stomach lining tends to thin with age and because older adults are more likely to have H. pylori infection or autoimmune disorders than younger people are.
Excessive alcohol use-
Alcohol can irritate and erode your stomach lining, which makes your stomach more vulnerable to digestive juices. Excessive alcohol use is more likely to cause acute gastritis.
Stress-
Severe stress due to major surgery, injury, burns or severe infections can cause acute gastritis.
Cancer treatment-
Chemotherapy drugs or radiation treatment can increase your risk of gastritis.
Your own body attacking cells in your stomach-
Called autoimmune gastritis, this type of gastritis occurs when your body attacks the cells that make up your stomach lining. This reaction can wear away at your stomach’s protective barrier.Autoimmune gastritis is more common in people with other autoimmune disorders, including Hashimoto’s disease and type 1 diabetes. Autoimmune gastritis can also be associated with vitamin B-12 deficiency.
Other diseases and conditions-
Gastritis
may be associated with other medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, sarcoidosis and parasitic infections.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis of
Gastritis
First will ask about your symptoms and history and perform a physical exam. Your provider may also order one or more of these tests:
Breath test:
During an H. pylori breath test, you swallow a capsule or liquid containing urea, a harmless radioactive material. You then exhale into a balloon-like bag. H. pylori bacteria change urea into carbon dioxide. If you have the bacteria, the breath test will show an increase in carbon dioxide.
Blood test:
A blood test checks for antibodies titers that fight H. pylori bacteria.
Stool test:
This test checks for H. pylori bacteria in your stool (poop).
Upper endoscopy:
Your doctor uses an endoscope (a long thin tube with an attached camera) to see your stomach. The doctor inserts the scope through your esophagus, which connects your mouth to your stomach. An upper endoscopy procedure allows your provider to examine the stomach lining. You may also have a tissue sample (biopsy) taken from your stomach lining to test for infection.
Upper gastrointestinal (GI) exam:
During an upper GI exam, you swallow a chalky substance called barium. The liquid coats your stomach lining, providing more detailed X-ray images.
Prevention
Prevention
H. pylori is one of the top causes of gastritis, but most people don’t know they’re infected. The bacteria are easily transmitted. Additionally, you can lower your risk of infection by practicing good hygiene, including hand-washing.
You also can take steps to minimize indigestion and heartburn. These conditions are linked to gastritis. Preventive measures i.e.:
- Avoiding fatty, fried, spicy or acidic foods.
- Cutting back on caffeine.
- Eating smaller meals throughout the day.
