Gastritis
Gastritis

Gastritis is a medical condition that refers to inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It can be acute, meaning it develops suddenly and lasts for a short time, or chronic, meaning it lasts for several months or even years.

There are several causes of gastritis, including bacterial infection, alcohol consumption, long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen, and autoimmune disorders. Other factors that can contribute to gastritis include stress, a poor diet, and certain viral infections.

The symptoms of gastritis can vary depending on the severity of the inflammation, but may include:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Abdominal pain or discomfort
  • Bloating
  • Indigestion
  • Black or tarry stools

Diagnosis of gastritis may involve a physical exam, medical history, and diagnostic tests such as blood tests or an endoscopy, in which a small camera is inserted into the stomach to examine the lining.

Treatment for gastritis may depend on the underlying cause of the condition but may include medications to reduce inflammation or acid production in the stomach, antibiotics to treat bacterial infections or lifestyle changes such as avoiding alcohol or spicy foods. In some cases, a healthcare professional may recommend dietary changes, such as consuming smaller, more frequent meals or avoiding certain foods, to help alleviate symptoms and promote healing of the stomach lining.

If left untreated, chronic gastritis can lead to complications such as stomach ulcers or even stomach cancer, so it is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms of gastritis.

Disease Causes

Gastritis

Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining. Weaknesses or injury to the mucus-lined barrier that protects the stomach wall allows digestive juices to damage and inflame the stomach lining. A number of diseases and conditions can increase the risk of gastritis, including inflammatory conditions, such as Crohn's disease.

Disease Treatments
Gastritis

Treatment of gastritis depends on the specific cause. Acute gastritis caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or alcohol may be relieved by stopping use of those substances.

Medications used to treat gastritis include:

  • Antibiotic medications to kill H. pylori. For H. pylori in your digestive tract, your doctor may recommend a combination of antibiotics, such as clarithromycin (Biaxin XL) and amoxicillin (Amoxil, Augmentin, others) or metronidazole (Flagyl), to kill the bacterium. Be sure to take the full antibiotic prescription, usually for 7 to 14 days, along with medication to block acid production. Once treated, your doctor will retest you for H. pylori to be sure it has been destroyed.
  • Medications that block acid production and promote healing. Proton pump inhibitors reduce acid by blocking the action of the parts of cells that produce acid. These drugs include the prescription and over-the-counter medications omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), pantoprazole (Protonix) and others.
  • Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors, particularly at high doses, may increase your risk of hip, wrist and spine fractures. Ask your doctor whether a calcium supplement may reduce this risk.
  • Medications to reduce acid production. Acid blockers — also called histamine (H-2) blockers — reduce the amount of acid released into your digestive tract, which relieves gastritis pain and encourages healing. Available by prescription or over the counter, acid blockers include famotidine (Pepcid), cimetidine (Tagamet HB) and nizatidine (Axid AR).
  • Medications that neutralize stomach acid. Your doctor may include an antacid in your drug regimen. Antacids neutralize existing stomach acid and can provide rapid pain relief. Side effects can include constipation or diarrhea, depending on the main ingredients. These help with immediate symptom relief but are generally not used as a primary treatment. Proton pump inhibitors and acid blockers are more effective and have fewer side effects.
