Here are some of the ways that can help you deal effectively with your gastritis problem
Be sure to eat 6 small meals instead of 3 big meals in a day – Having a full amount of foods in the stomach increases pressure in the stomach and can aggravate the lining of the stomach already affected by gastritis.
Never eat foods that only enhances the production of acid in your stomach – There are a lot of foods and beverages that can cause heartburn and add to the production of stomach acid. If you want to prevent or relieve gastritis or heartburn then you need to avoid these foods and beverages.
Stop drinking alcohol – Alcohol makes your stomach more acidic making you more prone to stomach ulcers or gastritis.
Use an antacid – Antacid drugs like Tagamet help neutralize or minimize gastric acid in your stomach. The use of these drugs will treat the symptoms and assist in the healing process.
Sleep with your head and shoulders elevated – Sleep in a way that makes the head positioned higher than the stomach.
Don’t smoke – Cigarette smoking is a catalyst in the production of stomach acid so it’s in your best interest to stop smoking if you have gastritis.
