Question
What are effective treatment methods for chronic ulcerative gastritis?
Answer
Treatment for chronic ulcerative gastritis includes medication, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes. Medication typically involves the use of antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or antibiotics to reduce stomach acid secretion and kill Helicobacter pylori. Dietarily, it’s important to avoid spicy, greasy, and high-fat foods, eat more easily digestible foods, and maintain regular eating habits. Additionally, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and reducing stress can also help alleviate symptoms. For severe cases, endoscopy and treatment may be necessary.
