Gastritis has a cure if it is identified.

Gastritis has a cure if it is identified.

The possibility of curing a gastritis is essentially linked to finding the cause of gastritis and treating it.

Gastritis is caused mainly by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (especially anti-inflammatory drugs), alcohol, drugs, other infectious agents, radiation, metabolic stress (burns and major surgeries, for example), allergies, autoimmune diseases, etc.

The possibility of curing a gastritis is essentially linked to finding the cause of gastritis and treating it. We can use antibiotics to eradicate Helicobacter pylori and other infectious agents such as cytomegalovirus, treponema pallidum, candida, herpes, microbacteria and parasites. Suspend medications that are leading to gastritis, such as anti-inflammatories or antibiotics. Stop using alcohol and other drugs. Use medications specific to certain diseases, such as autoimmune diseases. Reverse the cause of metabolic stress. In addition, medications to reduce stomach acid (proton pump inhibitors, antacids) or to protect the gastric mucosa are generally used.

In some cases, further tests are needed to document the cure of gastritis or eradication of the etiologic agent.

A situation apart is the existence of atrophy or intestinal metaplasia in the stomach, since complete regression of the disease does not occur in all patients. In these situations in which healing is not achieved, follow-up should be maintained with periodic control of the individual.

The best strategy to prevent a new gastritis is through hygiene habits, such as frequent hand washing, healthy eating with food prepared properly and avoiding prolonged fasting, caffeine and alcohol. In addition, use anti-inflammatories and other medications only when prescribed by a physician, promptly informing the prescriber of the occurrence of any adverse effects, such as abdominal pain, among other symptoms.
