Suggest Natural Ways To Manage Gastritis
I ve been diagnosed with a gastritis, but have had no tests done for h pylori and have been prescribed a PPI. I m nervous about taking it, though. I don t do well with a lot of medications. My body seems to love to hate things (e.g. peanut and soy allergy). I m reluctant to start the PPIs, but know that there are risks to leaving gastritis untreated, too, and I ve left this untreated for a while. I m not really sure what to do. I worry that I answered some of my doctor s questions inaccurately when I saw him, and I don t want that to lead to taking /doing the wrong thing.

Hi,
Diagnosed gastritis as in your case should take a PPI at least for a stipulated time as your Doctor must have suggested to avoid any further complications. In the meantime you can get started with natural remedies as follows:
Small frequent meals.
No oily and spicy food at all.
A good complete relaxing sleep at night.
Early dinner and walk around before going to bed.
Stress and anxiety are the instigating or enhancing factors and must be controlled at any cost.
Identify the foods, factors and fluids that instigate or enhance your symptoms related to GI system and avoid these.
Review endoscopy after one and half months to see the results and continue the management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
