Only after this treatment of chronic gastritis is carried out according to the usual scheme. An obligatory condition for the treatment of chronic gastritis in children and preventive measures is further sanatorium treatment.

Folk remedies for the disease

General recommendations when using folk remedies are reduced to simple rules:

1. In the morning on an empty stomach drink a glass or two clear water that washes off the mucus.
2. Treatment is better to start on a "growing" moon, as human biorhythms depend on the growth of the moon.

You can make green apples on the grater, rhubarb, and it is also useful in the summer to eat several sheets of plantain on an empty stomach.

Features of treatment of various forms of the disease

This form is more common than others, and affects all age groups. Treatment of chronic superficial gastritis is mainly based on diet compliance. The mistake of many people is that they for a long time engaged in self-medication of superficial gastritis folk remedies, observed a diet.

Only an expert and a complete clinical examination can solve this problem once and for all. Exacerbation of chronic gastritis can occur suddenly, and is always associated with a disturbance in lifestyle. To delay and leave for later treatment is impossible, since complications can begin.

Tactics of treatment of exacerbation of chronic gastritis is based on the strictest diet. Be sure to call a doctor, even if it happened to you on vacation, and before he comes to observe bed rest. Medicamentous therapy - drugs that block the production of gastric juice and normalize the motor skills of the stomach. Do not self-medicate!

Chronic gastritis with secretory insufficiency occurs most often in the elderly, both men and women. Dangerous that can cause stomach cancer. With this form of gastritis, a complete examination and antibiotic therapy are also performed( when bacteria are detected).It shows both drug treatment and the use of traditional medicine.

In any case, such patients must comply with a strict diet, which includes products that do not irritate the mucous membrane, but at the same time increase the production of gastric juice. Features of treatment of chronic gastritis with secretory insufficiency is that it is necessary to correct the secretory function of the stomach.

These appointments can only be done by a doctor! The function of glandular secretion can only be lowered, and then it is necessary to carry out treatment that stimulates the production of gastric juice. If the production function is completely broken, then in this case the doctor prescribes drugs that can replace and replenish the body with the necessary medicines. In this case, prescribe a pure gastric juice before eating.

Vitaminotherapy is mandatory, which helps restore the disturbed metabolism and activates the secretion of gastric juice. Since these patients have disrupted the function of digesting food, most of the food enters the intestines undigested, then begins to rot in different parts of the intestine, causing dyspepsia. Therefore, it is advisable to assign enzymes for proper assimilation of food.

Chronic hypertrophic gastritis, or it is also called Menentry's disease, polyposis gastritis - is not so common. When the disease is characterized by the appearance of puffiness, papillae( polypoadenom), located separately or in the form of bunches of grapes. Appears more often in men aged 40 years and above.

Complaints of patients with this gastritis are reduced to pain in the epigastric region, stool disorder, vomiting, sometimes with blood veins, such people lose weight sharply. If the disease is not treated, there is a high risk of gastric hemorrhage and malignancy polypoadenom( malignancy).Due to the fact that the polyps cover the gastric mucosa, the function of producing gastric juice and protein function suffers. Treatment is the same as in chronic gastritis with secretory insufficiency.
