Suggest Treatment For Gastritis
Question: I am having gastritis but the pain is almost gone could I still take my daily probiotics ? Also could I drink my daily blended oats with cinnamon and vanilla? Thank you
Brief Answer:
discontinue probiotics if NO diarrhea at present
Detailed Answer:
Hey Miss XXXX,
Noted that you took dexilant to comabat your stomach pain.
However, you did NoT mention the history of your present symptom and the duration of medication taken.
Gastritis usually needs a histopathological diagnosis.
Anyhow, dexilant maybe ingested from 2 weeks to 4 weeks subjected to "resolution of symptoms". as your age>60, its also advised to visit your treating physician/gastroenterologist if you have a "chronic history" of stomach ache or recurrent stomach pain.
Secondly, probiotics maybe continued if your suffering from diarrhea.
Probiotics maybe stopped if no diarrhea.
Yes, you may have blended oats with cinnamon and vanilla.
if you have history of acid reflux,
include yogurt in your meals
avoid fatty meal,
avoid having meals 3 hours before going to bed,
eat small meals
put two pillows under your head
Wish you good health,
Hope to answer your concern and further queries are welcomed.
Regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
