Gastritis is a term used to describe a group of conditions characterized by inflammation of the lining of your stomach. Commonly, the inflammation of gastritis results from infection with the same bacterium that causes most stomach ulcers. Yet other factors - including traumatic injury and regular use of certain pain relievers - also can contribute to gastritis.
Gastritis may occur suddenly (acute gastritis), or it can occur slowly over time (chronic gastritis). In spite of the many conditions associated with gastritis, the signs and symptoms of the disease are very similar: a burning pain in your upper abdomen and, occasionally, bloating, belching, nausea or vomiting.
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.
The signs and symptoms of gastritis include:
A gnawing or burning ache or pain (indigestion) in your upper abdomen that may become either worse or better when you eat
Nausea
Vomiting
Loss of appetite
Belching or bloating
A feeling of fullness in your upper abdomen after eating
Weight loss
Acute gastritis occurs suddenly and is more likely to cause nausea and burning pain or discomfort in your upper abdomen.
Chronic gastritis develops gradually and is more likely to cause a dull pain and a feeling of fullness or loss of appetite after a few bites of food. For many people, though, chronic gastritis causes no signs or symptoms at all.
Occasionally, gastritis may cause stomach bleeding, but it's rarely severe. But be aware that bleeding in your stomach that causes you to vomit blood or pass black, tarry stools requires immediate medical care.
Gastritis usually develops when your stomach's protective layer becomes overwhelmed or damaged. A mucus-lined barrier protects the walls of your stomach from the acids that help digest your food. Weaknesses in the barrier allow your digestive juices to damage and inflame your stomach lining.
A number of factors can contribute to or trigger gastritis, including:
Bacterial infection.
Regular use of pain relievers.
Excessive alcohol use.
Stress.
Bile reflux disease.
Your own body attacking cells in your stomach.
Other diseases and conditions. Gastritis may be associated with other medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS, Crohn's disease, parasitic infections, some connective tissue disorders
MEDICAL TREATMENT
Treatment of gastritis depends on the specific cause. Acute gastritis caused by alcohol may be relieved by stopping use of those substances. Chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori infection is treated by eradicating the bacteria. Most gastritis treatment plans also incorporate medications that treat stomach acid in order to reduce signs and symptoms you're experiencing and promote healing in your stomach.
Medications to treat stomach acid
Antacids.
Acid blockers.
Medications to shut down acid 'pumps.'
Medications to treat H. pylori
Doctors use several regimens to treat H. Pylori infection. Most use a combination of two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor. Sometimes bismuth (Pepto-Bismol) is added to the mix. The antibiotics help destroy the bacteria, and the proton pump inhibitor relieves pain and nausea, heals inflammation and may increase the antibiotics' effectiveness.
To ensure that H. pylori has been eliminated, your doctor may test you again after treatment.
NATURAL HEALING WITHOUT SURGERY
Gastritis will block the stomach meridian and cause a disconnect of energy to the large intestine meridian causing inflammation or negative energy.. By unblocking the channel that connects to the digestive system will help with the problem.
In my experience patients that think too much cause these symptoms. Usually the patient has sought help by going to many doctors, to no avail. With our Hi-Tech Energy machine we will help the patient clear their mind and this will change the energy or Aura on the head. This will eliminate and heal the Gastritis.
If the patient smokes, drinks too much or has a lot of negative stress we can help.
