Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are problems that concern most modern people.
After all, stress, lack of adequate rest and sleep, eating and drinking habits have a negative impact on the emotional and physiological state of each of us.
In this article, we want to tell you in more detail about the gastrointestinal tract and its diseases, namely gastritis.
Gastrointestinal tract – what is it?
Gastrointestinal tract (GI) is a system of human organs responsible for normal vital activity, digestion, saturation and assimilation of useful substances by the body.
It is thanks to the gastrointestinal tract that our body receives all the useful micro and macro elements from food, ensures a healthy and comfortable life.
Organs belonging to the gastrointestinal tract:
- Esophagus;
- Stomach;
- Intestines;
- Liver;
- Pancreas;
- Gallbladder.
If at one of the stages of digestion there is a failure in the work of the gastrointestinal tract, the whole body suffers, diseases and pathologies develop.
It is scientifically proven that 80% of immunity is formed by the gastrointestinal tract.
That is why it is extremely important to monitor and take care of your health.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
The most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract include:
• Gastritis;
• Ulcer of the stomach and duodenum;
What is gastritis?
Gastritis is a disease associated with inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
According to its type, gastritis can be acute or chronic.
Treatment methods differ depending on the severity of the disease and its stage.
And without proper treatment, gastritis easily flows into a stomach ulcer or contributes to the development of other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
If the disease is not diagnosed in time and its treatment is not undertaken, ordinary gastritis can develop into a chronic form that will require more severe treatment, and in some cases, surgical treatment.
Causes of gastritis
From a medical point of view, the most common causes of gastritis include:
unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, emotional turmoil and stress, bad habits, as well as:
• Diet;
• Helicobacter bacterium;
• Emotional upheavals and stresses;
Symptoms of gastritis.
The most common symptoms include:
• Regular persistent pain in the abdomen (especially after eating fried, spicy or fatty food);
• Nausea and vomiting;
• Diarrhea;
• Lack of appetite;
• Unpleasant taste or smell in the oral cavity;
• Heartburn;
• Constant flatulence;
• Fasteners;
• Absence of daily excretion of waste products;
How to treat gastritis?
Only a doctor can diagnose gastritis and prescribe qualified treatment for this disease.
Depending on the form of the disease, the specialist can prescribe drug treatment aimed at normalizing acidity: drugs against heartburn, antibacterial – if the disease is caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, and spasmolitin.
However, any treatment will not work without following a special diet. This is due to the fact that the food consumed by a person comes into contact with the mucous membrane of the stomach, thereby irritating it.
Therefore, you should avoid heavy, fatty, excessively salty, sour and spicy food. In some cases, it is also recommended to give up the consumption of sweets.
With an acute form of the disease, it is recommended to switch to boiled porridge, lean white meat, baked fruits and steamed vegetables. Rosehip infusion is perfect for drinking.
Food should be consumed in small portions, ideally at room temperature.
Hydrotherapy, consumption of special medicinal sources that normalize stomach acidity have a positive effect on the treatment of this disease.
It is also worth adding that the effective treatment of gastritis is a complex effect of qualified treatment, adherence to a diet, as well as a stable emotional background.
