Gastritis

Gastritis

Gastritis is an inflammation, irritation, or erosion of the lining of the stomach. It can occur suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic).

CAUSES

  • Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori): A bacteria that lives in the mucous lining of the stomach; without treatment, the infection can lead to ulcers, and in some people, stomach cancer.
  • Pernicious anemia:A form of anemia that occurs when the stomach lacks a naturally occurring substance needed to properly absorb and digest vitamin B12
  • Bile reflux:A back-flow of bile into the stomach from the bile tract (that connects to the liver and gallbladder)
  • Infectionscaused by bacteria and viruses

SYMPTOMS

  • Nauseaor recurrent upset stomach
  • Abdominal bloating
  • Abdominal pain
  • Vomiting
  • Indigestion
  • Burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach between meals or at night
  • Hiccups
  • Loss of appetite
  • Vomiting blood or coffee ground-like material
  • Black, tarry stools

HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

Homoeopathy is very strongly recommended for gastritis (acute, chronic and recurring). Homeopathy manages gastritis effectively, gently and safely.
